You asked if I answered the question and offered to pay $20 to see the post where I answered.

I answered it, showed you the post where I answered it just as you asked for, and now you need to make that donation to the Holocaust Museum.

Here is the link they take Paypal.

Seems like you lost your bet, since you never really answered the question properly. Good thing you did not go with your Paraguant betting strategy in this case.

All the best.

If I were being asked to adjudicate on whether LB admitted that the holocaust happened and that TT should donate $20, man, I'd be torn, because kinda, but with the implication of doubt. LB, you could do a good thing and say something like 'I 100% believe the holocaust happened' and I'll pitch in £15 too.

FWIW, I've read my grandfather's diaries, and I saw his tattoo, so I know that the holocaust did happen.

Just checking if you can acknowledge any objective yes or no questions. I guess it’s weirdly good for you that it seems to be pathological rather than confirmed holocaust skepticism.

Keep your £15. I'm not even 100% that I'm drinking a Bordeaux right now. It says that on the label but I have no idea where those grapes were grown

Better option is he sticks to Avril Lavigne clones and UFOs and cloud trails.

Here is an interesting video about UFOs Lucky, and not a UFO people are nutty one as well.

Now someone needs to make Trolly pay his $20 to charity.

And I don't care if there is room for doubt btw.

I was born in the 1980s. I've never been to Germany, or Poland, or anywhere near there. I've seen Schindler List but I'm not an historian and I've read zero books on the Holocaust.

You're not getting some unequivocal answer out of me because I only give those out for things that are unequivocal. But fwiw it does seem to have happened but I wouldn't tell you that I'm 100% that George Washington was a real person. Probably he was but again, not an historian.

I.E. you can allow the same amount of doubt that the holocaust happened as you have doubt over whether some part of your body is making contact with the earth in some way, just as long as you say 'I unequivocally believe the holocaust happened. I effectively have no doubt.' I'm going to raise my bid to £30.

A historian. Not an. Really bugs me. If you pronounced it 'istorian' then fine. But you don't. So it's A historian. I don't care if there's a style guide out there that disagrees with me, that style guide is unequivocally wrong.

Now that simply requires an acknowledgement such as "yes The Holocaust happened" or a denial of it happening aka a "no it didn't happen" answer.

I bet you won't answer the question, so stop lying that you did.

To which you answer, not with yes or no, not with 100% did or didn’t but:

That's a pretty selective set of posts there and not even close to all of them.

It’s kind of both. The former seems to be his version of the latter.

That one he did give as direct an answer as he gives on things, hence more attention to UFOs and mist trails should be his focus.

Then fill in the blanks. It demonstrates that you were asked for an unequivocal answer and you didn’t deliver what those people asked for. It’s not really up to you to say seems is equivalent to yes or no in their eyes. They clearly don’t think so.
