1. You're trolling.
So you say, I don't think so. You are the individual who decided to make untoward comments to other posters and to frame arguments with emotion.
2. This will be my last response to you.
So? How does this comment apply to the question at hand? More attacking the messenger akin to the ingenious point number 1?
3. I did not misrepresent rjmacs.
You've said that, and thank you for finally offering an some sort of explanation as to why you believe that.
First I will note that your strawman construction did not contain the quote you are now citing, nor any recognizable references to it. But, be that as it may, in my reading of the post you have cited, it shows an attempt to avoid understating the importance of investigating the formation of a totalitarian system. Merely punishing the individuals who participated within the system is not enough. By examining such a system, knowledge can be gained. If you insist on seeing it as a pass for Nazi war criminals, despite statements to the contrary, I'm sure you have your reasons.
