[net.followup] Irish genocide?

The statement by jmg that the British have killed more people in Ireland
than died in the Nazi death camps (let's see, that's over 6 million, right?)
is ridiculous. But then, I suppose he believes that everyone who ever died in
Ireland did so because of the British. The true dimensions of this person's
madness is now apparent to me. Must the net be used for the spread of
nationalistic hatreds?

Not to say that the British haven't committed their share of atrocities there,
but enough is enough.

	Oh Jeffrey, you poor chump. Don't look now, but your foot's in your
mouth! I can document everything I said and more. Naturally, I don't carry
a stack of historical texts around in my back pocket so there will be a
slight delay before I reply to you in full. This will give you a chance to
pull your riding boots out of your jaw.
