I don't think saying you won't view material, or are not willing to address it, is a good response to a post.

It's the old Sir Humphrey trick - bury whatever point they're making in the middle of a pile of boring, inconsequential shit. If you don't make it that far, they won't do another damn thing; but a hundred pages later they will swear that they already gave you the evidence and it's not their fault you ignored it.

Don't try to pull a Civil Service on an ex-Civil Servant.

Right.  Well, I fast-forwarded to about episode 20, which talked about a lack of evidence for cyanide killings.  It mentioned that the vast collections of hair and shoes, which are often used as a symbol of all the people who were killed there, aren't actually evidence of killings-- since prisoners were all shorn and given new shoes as part of the prison uniform.  It said that the hatches in the ceiling, which were supposed to have been for dropping in cyanide, were installed post-WWII.  It said that some scientist or other (a name was given) had checked the walls for residue indicating the presence of cyanide, and had found none.

I don't know the truth about those things, and certainly they do not accord with what teachers and others have told me, but they seem credible enough that I'd have to research them if I actually cared enough whether there had been a Holocaust.  I'm very wary of situations where the majority will dog-pile with mockery, but will not address the points.

That being said, Harris needs to idea a couple of really critical points, and provide proper evidence.  Personally, I just don't care enough about the Muslims OR the Jews to wade through that huge documentary.  Even if there WERE a Jewish conspiracy, I probably wouldn't care, since I assume that all governments and rich people are "conspiring"-- in other words, trying to get even more power and money by bending or abusing the system.
