no subject
I didn't say anything about my other grandparents as their families weren't against Nazis, at least not to the same extent as my grandfather's (as far as I'm aware). Other anon spoke about being certain that their grandfathers weren't Nazis - I can only claim that about one of my grandfathers. Why should I bring up the others in this discussion? The thread's not a competition to see who had the least Nazis in their family.
Being left-wingers would have been evidence for chard that anon's grandfathers weren't Nazis. Of course you always have to take what is said on the internet with a grain of salt, but surely you see why saying "grandpa wasn't a Nazi, he was in the SPD" is more believable than saying "grandpa wasn't a Nazi" and then refusing to say anything more on the subject and blowing a gasket. One is an explanation, the other is petulant pouting.
Of course I could be lying about the anecdotes - heck, I could be lying about being German, it's the internet, what do you know? Sure, any anecdote I tell you could be made up, but on the other hand, it's more likely that I'm telling the truth because I'm willing to back up what I said. Anon did the opposite - refuse to even consider backing anything up, and that makes their claim suspect because it sounds as though their only "evidence" is that their grandfathers said so - which is exactly what Chard was arguing about: After the war many German claimed to have been against the Nazis all along, when that just wasn't true in a lot of cases.
I don't always agree with Chard but in this case I really don't get why she's getting so much flack. Her initiat comment was a bit short, but that warranted neither anon's reaction nor her getting shit for any subsequent comments, IMO.
