When they are either a sockpuppet, or a reincarnation of a longtime banned member. But, of course, you also are a reincarnation of a longtime banned member, aren't you?

Keep in mind, the only NON-biased history book on planet earth will probably have to written by a Martian.

I think it is informative to read books from all sources and all biases.

Usually, the way to get to a universal truth is if the information in an extreme, moderate, and central historical reference are all aligned. If that is the case, then that is as close to truth as you will get.

Further, if extremes are aligned on a topic (i.e. a ulta-nationalist Turkish and Armenian publication) then we can be reasonalbly sure that it is true as well.

For example, in both of our histories, the A.R.F. and the Young Turk were allies until 1908 - it is from there that the story starts to change.

That is what I focus on - which is why I've read the extreme literature on both sides as well as 'objective' western and eastern sources.

Thoughts?
