The few times I've used quotes was to illustrate how loaded these things are, especially when taken out of context with the other events surrounding the time period. People reading about the past will not get the same impressions as people who read things when the events were going on. I don't get my views of the past by taking quotes from these people at face value. I never said I haven't quoted them or posted about their quotes. That's a different thing altogether. I know you'll never admit that.
