Mr. Stele, you really are a pathetic coward.  At every turn I have tried
to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you have repeatedly lied,
falsified and avoided honest debate.  Now you have really outdone
yourself.

I last posted a reply to you on November 7th, and for one week you have
been absent on this newsgroup.  You have not responded to my post.
Yesterday I stated publicly that I will be removing myself from this forum
for a period so that I can focus my attention on an important project that
has come my way.  Today you reappear, and the first thing you do is smear
more of your denial upon the post in which I announced my absence.  

Were it not for the fact that someone forwarded your message to my
personal e-mail I would not have known you were attacking me publicly on
alt.revisionism.  While I suppose nearly all conduct is fair on the
newsgroups, the fact that you shirked away from my challenges only to
resurface after you thought I'd left speaks volumes about your character,
you- the same man who once insisted your opponents distinguished
themselves as cowards.

I will reply to you this time, because your brazeness begs for a response.

For the record, here is what has occurred in terms of the production of
evidence on the threads in question as of this date:

Evidence Ahlf has provided:

1) Quote from Hitler's _Mein Kampf_, which Stele denies being relevant
2) Quote from Hitler's 1922 speech, which Stele denies being reliable
3) Cited Roosevelt's committee to study atomic weaponry, which responded
   to an irrelevant challenge for proof from Stele, but when this proof
   was given Stele tried later to change the text of his challenge.
4) Cited Einstein'd letter warning Roosevelt of Germany's potential nukes.
   Stele ignored this evidence
5) Cited Hitler's conquest of France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, etc...
   to provide evidence of Hitler's known aggressive threat.
   Stele continues to belittle this evidence, insisting that these
   occupied countries were not conquests, but rather, German "outposts."
6) Cited Hitler's having declared war on the US prior to US
   declaration of war on Germany.  Stele denied that a declaration of war
   is a reliable indication of threat.  Ironically, in the very same post
   Stele *faulted* Britain and France for declaring war on Germany.

Evidence provide by Stele:

1) Reference to "Wannsee Protocol"
   No specific passage cited to support his assertion
2) Reference to "Giwer's posts 1995-96"
   No specific post cited to support his assertion
3) Reference to book by David Irving
   No specific passage cited to support his assertion
4) Promise to provide evidence to support assertions
   No date or criteria given for the production of promised evidence.

Just by the above record of evidence, it's obvious which party has
actively engaged in debate and which party has actively avoided it.
That's not to mention the instances in which Mr. Stele has attempted to
delete and alter the record of the debate in his reposts in order to
weaken my position, or the instance in which he denied having read
my post while inexplicably making reference to the content of my post.

Additionally, the entire thread in question was initiated by statements
made by Mr. Stele, statements which he declines to substantiate with
evidence of his own until I somehow satisfy him that I have answered all
of his challenges.  Mr. Stele has made numerous inflamatory assertions in
the course of this thread, but whenever challenged he consistently defers
the production of evidence until I produce evidence in support of my
positions.  This is a pattern of conduct that illustrates Mr. Stele's
complete unwillingness or inability to engage in honest debate.

Then you'd be well advised to quit hurting your own cause by your
participation in this forum and leave it up to him.

You and your brethren talk a lot about the imminent demise of the
holocaust history, but none of you are capable of making any kind of
rational case against the established historical facts.  Every argument
you make depends entirely on the fundamental acceptence of your racist
ideology and requisite belief in a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.  You
provide no evidence, you promise a lot of evidence, but you never provide
it.  To be a practicing 'denier' like yourself, one must be prepared not
only to deny historical facts, but also to deny one's own utter failings.

Not in my country.  You're welcome to speak and reveal your idiocy until
the end of time while you're in America.

Indeed, that would be a fitting outgrowth of my advocacy of the ethical
treatment of human beings.  The scorn contained in your above statement is
far more revealing of you than it is of me.

> Kurt Stele

I can only speculate as to what excuse you're going to concoct this time
to explain why you suddenly responded to me, after one week of complete
silence, only after I announced that I was leaving.  You are a despicable
coward, Mr. Stele.  This central flaw of your character drives 
everything in you from your racist, neo-nazi ideology, all the way down to
your vacuous insults and squirming inability to back your statements with
facts.  You are long past long due for some serious introspection.

I *will* be leaving, Mr. Stele, so you will indeed get the last word here.
I can only hope that you will somehow change your pattern of conduct and
not use my absence as an opportunity to misrepresent what has transpired
in our exchanges.  I do not hold out much hope.
