In your argument with etb, you seemed mighty het up about him saying/suggesting/whatever that the BEF fought alongside the SS. Why did it wind you up so much? After all, Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia were pretty much of a piece, and we fought with the Russkis. What's the big deal?

Oh come on - if I came out with a piece of slanderous bullshit that I couldn't back up, would you give me an easy time of it?

Sneering comments about reading books piss me off. In fact, a sneering & condescending manner is pretty much guaranteed to get me going
