I have tried to organize some of the facts and data which support the scholarly opinion on the ending of the Pacific War. I have shown that an attitude which dismissed scholarly opinion as unpatriotic or un-American is itself un-American and is sheer bigotry, colossal arrogance, and boorish brutality. On the other hand, I have conceded that there still exists support for the bombings amongst the lay public; and I acknowledge the emotional nature of that support. All of your posts to me, on this and other thread topics, however, point to an overriding and inescapable conclusion: you are not attempting to add either clarity or profundity to the discussion; but indeed you are tortured by an agenda of revenge and ill will. Your current post is a classic expression of this angry attempt to obscure debate with exceedingly loud noise, and pathetic personal attacks. I will not emphasize, however, the small minded bigotry of your words: let me rather praise the remarkable consistency of your painful efforts to address your own agenda, which is strictly at the personal level.
