Dear fellow members,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn a lot of stuff that was the ww2 aviation, to figuratively meet people form all walks of life, to broaden my horizons, to point out the good sources of information (and to warn me of bad 'sources'), to make my English language skills better.
With that said. Sharing the same part of cyberspace with a member that, in my sincere opinion, uses every opportunity to justify the aggression of Nazi Germany is not acceptable to me. The moderator team disagrees with my opinion. Thus I'll log off from the forum.
Good luck to all of you,
Tomislav
The post has been edited but I saw the original, it was holocaust denial by an expert in holocaust denial, sailing as close to the wind of holocaust denial without actually crossing the line to being illegal where holocaust denial is a crime. You cannot win the argument because he is only seeing how much propaganda he can get away with, that is why he edited out the worst of it, when Tomo posted an objection.I'll be sorry to see you go, and hope you reconsider. Your posts regularly provide me with info and insights I didn't know or hadn't considered.
Have you given thought to the idea that your staying and debunking the Nazi apologia you read might be useful?

I was doing other stuff while mentally composing a reply, when I pressed the quote button the worst of what he posted had been removed, but I referenced it in my comment on the thread. I will not accept that Bergen Belsen deaths were an infrastructure problem, it is an assertion by someone who quotes the Geneva convention here there and everywhere. Maybe I am hypersensitive because I lived and worked close to the place for many years, I met many very nice people but far too many deniers like the poster concerned.I must take your word for it, as I only saw the thing three or four hours after posting. In any event, my suggestion is only that, and I certainly understand that them might be some rocky shoals here, or in most other forums.
I stand by all else, that Tomo has for me been a fount of information and should he decide to stay away, I will certainly miss his input, new though I am here. I hope he puts the guy on ignore and continues his great contributions.

I have worked all over Northern Europe and in the steel industry and ports that were targeted by mass raids by both sides, places like Aulnoye and Rouen that were bombed by their "own side" and Dalmine that wasnt on any side. I have also been to the Hiroshima peace park and Tokyo, however horrible they were there was some meaning, Bergen Belsen was pure, evil, spite and nothing else, just seeing the name on a sign post made my blood run cold every two weeks when I flew home in a way no other place ever has done, it is worse, if that is possible, than Auschwitz. in my opinion.Yeah, I'd be barking loud at that myself. As I wrote above, I apparently didn't see the original, unmodified post. Even the edited post struck me as apologetics, which is why I wrote what I did. Your correction is appreciated.
I don't know that there's such a thing as "oversensitivity" when it comes to mass murder. I sure didn't mean to come off so blithe, given what you report about the post that caused this.
At any rate, I hope Tomo reconsiders and stays, because guys like him (and many others, yourself included) are why I read and post here.
