“Some of you might question the objectivity of Greg's report, since he was M.C. at the affair. Therefore, some of us disinterested alt.revisionists who were there are preparing a more detailed report. Included will be David Cole's talk about Michael Shermer and transcripts of Shermer telephone conversations with David, Michael Berenbaum, and Debbie Lipstadt. I think you'll find it interesting.”

“Dear Fellow alt.revisionists: I have only just got my Internet connection up and running, so perhaps I am judging the discussions I have seen on alt.revisionism too harshly, but the discussion does not seem to be up to the level for which I was hoping. I saw a post in which Ken Mcvay denigrated the GEnie discussion of the Holocaust which took place several months ago, but this forum seems to be providing a lower quality discussion of the Holocaust than GEnie did, and the GEnie discussion was pretty poor.”

“An example of such comparison must have happened in the mind of the first alt.revisionist to think of taking his show on the road and bringing revisionist postings to sci.skeptic. Surely one thought in his brain (well...misfiring neuron in his neural cortex might be more accurate) was "I am 'skeptical' about the history of the Holocaust, maybe I'll find allies who can battle the people who believe in history in sci.skeptic!" The contrast came when he started posting and found out the hard way that even without The Usual Suspects from a.r. stepping in he was being torn seven ways from Sunday by the sci.skeptic Regulars.”
