Whatever, if you say so.

This further demonstrates that we have differing views on the matter.

My next-door neighbour is a holocaust survivor - I have listened to his stories. As for my comments being distasteful to you, this would probably be just due to your sensitivity to such matters as well as you taking my post out of context - something else that I know you have certain views on doing.
