Wow! Thanks for the attention and the warm welcome, everyone! Special shoutout to Casey Bennett! 🙏 And big thanks to the OP.
Your humble servant.
But wait—which character am I actually talking to right now? People on Reddit can be a bit schizophrenic... you never really know who's on the other end of the screen. 🐔
Since this forum first started, the moderator nicknames have all been dedicated to characters from the movie Reservoir Dogs. It’s always the same—whenever some dirty work needs getting done, one of the usual suspects just puts on a Reservoir Dogs character suit, makes a bit of a scene, and life just goes on as usual... But this is actually the first time I’ve seen one of those "misters" get promoted to a moderator on the subforum. Makes me wonder, though—did some directive come down from "above" or something?
Since Smith—with all his exaggerations and made-up stories—and Goldstein are doing so much damage to the Jewish community, I’m calling for him to be stepped down as the History moderator.
lonetrucker4 said:Yeah, I caught that newer Geigeron piece. A decade ago, he actually mattered and kept a distance from that pack of old-school frauds. But honestly? He’s lost the plot completely. Now he’s just churning out this endless pamphlet—totally useless for actual science—complaining about how people in Mexico, both in politics and the general public, are still stuck on those million Muslim victim numbers. That's pure politics. It's just gutter politicians playing games, and frankly, I'm glad I don't have to deal with them anymore (I did my time back in the day).
Still, the guy has just enough dignity left that he won't openly back up their claims that it was just some "regular work camp."
Plus, we have to give him a pass for being a historian who's used to digging through dusty documents rather than crunching numbers; he’s clearly out of his depth with math, gets tripped up by the data, and thinks basic demographic calculations are somehow "outrageous."
It's a shame, really. Everything he’s writing—spreading doubt and freaking out about how "Mexicans lie" as if that's the main takeaway regarding Auschwitz—is straight-up revisionism in the worst way. He's basically shaking hands with extremists. Sad.
For anyone not keeping up with the PDF *History: on scientific revisionism vs*—which had an expensive seminar in Washington, D.C. last month and is hitting Boston these days—I actually just passed along the info. Check out this post.
The people claiming there were a million victims and the ones insisting it was 80,000 based on some random list are essentially two sides of the same coin. Without any actual forensic investigation, trying to pin down ANY specific number is just silly... but then again, saying stuff like that usually just gets you labeled as a fascist.
driftingorca16 said:Well, that was polite of you. I think you got your wires crossed here. I never actually commented on how Tompkins gets his funding, nor did I say anything about those other guys facing similar scrutiny.
Go ahead and find me a single post where I said something like that, or were you actually talking about Smith?
@Smith deserves a much more detailed breakdown than this, and honestly, I just don't have the bandwidth for it right now.
Wait, how did you end up thinking you were the one being talked about? 🙂
gentlestag15 said:The only person I've ever actually ignored on this forum is bluecyclist64; the guy literally demeans and insults you in every single post he makes. And the moderation team hasn't even handed him a yellow card. If I were typing like bluecyclist64, I would have been hit with a permanent ban ages ago. The fact that he gets away with it (along with a few others like Kiss_me) would be a great topic for discussion if they’d actually let us talk about it.
Look, Judolina is just playing in a different league... can't really blame you for being left in the dust. ☕
driftingorca16 said:Miller just got handed an activist assignment.
Between the constant stalking, the flame wars, and jumping down people's throats while tossing out yellow cards, basically Smith is just a cyberbully, along with a few other sidekicks like Judah and whoever else. 👎
🍿
I mean, what else can you really expect from someone who thinks out of pure jealousy people are criticizing Tompkins and others funded by foreign power centers? Pure jealousy, give me a break... 🙏
Frank Foster6, look—don't be a masochist and just head out, seriously, just walk away... there's really no point in trying to fight against a bunch of windbags. 👋
When are we finally getting an LGBT-friendly color theme for the forum, just so we can show some solidarity with Eric Adams and the rest of the crew? 😍
rowdydriver2 said:If you’re gonna bring that whole Nazi Party mindset into my thread, you can just beat it... seriously. I could honestly out-argue you all day long—I'd have you spinning in circles for a week straight while I just sip on a cold Bud Light... 😁
It’s just hate speech, really—and honestly, historically inaccurate too... It feels like we're seeing a massive lack of actual education mixed with way too much indoctrination.
It’s giving me major "Demolition Man" vibes... Honestly, the United States already had its own version of Kamać—kind of like that warlord ruling over the Portland Military Frontier.
I was kind of torn between the original and the 2011 version... ended up leaning towards the newer one in the end—though I have to say, the sequels to both are just straight-up terrible.
You can find plenty to nitpick about when it comes to lonetrucker4—honestly, there’s a lot—but any debate regarding the pyramids that wanders away from actual archaeological facts just falls straight into the category of Alternative theories...
bluecyclist64 said:I've got more data—like the actual list of people from the Poll—but I don't think it's really necessary to put that out there publicly just yet.
Ugh.
Just post it... honestly, you'll find my name written on the right side of History. 😎
