You're very brave to post your attack anonymously, and so many months later that only the original poster would normally see your reply. (I subscribed to comments on this post, which is how I happened to see it. You, on the other hand, might not see this reply, since you posted anonymously. Oh well.)

There are people who enjoy discussing this sort of thing. jenett is one. I'm another. History is fun! Discussing misconceptions of history is fun too! It has nothing to do with taking oneself too seriously (which phrase, by the way, is a classic silencing technique).
