I guess we're all crisis actors. Probably got the bodies from local morgues and buried them in mass graves ourselves, so that we could wander around through shitholes full of unexploded ordinance to dig them back up. The whole conflict being televised is easy to explain away, just green room stuff...neveryoumind the timeline.
I am sorry for being harsh now, but this is probably the most stupid and insane comment anybody will ever make about my paper. Like, what does what you have just written have to do with my paper? My paper does not even mention the conflict.
Somebody (even vaguely) familiar with the content of my paper but unfamiliar with the history of this forum will probably consider you insane for saying that. Somebody who is familiar with the history of this forum (and who is willing to spend time trying to interpret what you wrote) will realize that what you wrote is, at best, a giant Argument from Association fallacy. Ideas are right or wrong independently of their creators, and even if I am deadly wrong about Vukovar Massacre, that is entirely irrelevant to my paper (which does not even mention Vukovar).
