MareGaeaI don't think you are right. While I am open to admit that Polish history has definetely not been 100% glorious (you know as well as me that saying this is absurd!), I think the topic opened by Harry has just been meant to provoke people like Sokrates or Ironside. Harry and Sokrates are two of a kind and each one needs the constant company of the other on this forum to indulge themselves in the game. There is more psychology in it than exchanging views and opinions. A newcomer who comes to the forum gets a very inacurate impresion of the Polish people by reading the texts Sokrates, just as he gets a very inacurate impression of the foreign people living in Poland by reading the texts of Harry.
Yes, each time the Warsaw Insurrection is remembered, they forget to omit that for example General Anders thought it was a foolish enterprise
That in fact is not true. There has been a lot of people in Poland including prominent members of the then Polish government in exile as well as outstanding Polish contemporary historians who challenged and have disputed the decision to fight the Germans by declaring the Warsaw Insurrection.

You're a gay Ukrainian Jew? That's as low as sub-humans can get. No wonder you are so jealous of the ubermenschen Poles!
In my view, such a comment (calling someone the Hitler-style name of "sub-human" in the above context) should cause an ultimate ban of the author on every high-quality forum. You should have really pointed out to that first,
MareGaea, before taking to this:
Great topic, Harry. Too bad that nearly not many see the sarcasm in there...
That is indeed much more nasty than not seeing sarcasm in Harry's posts ...
