Your opinion of Stalin?

[Razgovory]

You have to deal with those contentions, because they are what the thread has turned out to be about!    No one except you, me, Raz, Valmy, Ulmont, and Wayland appear to  be the slightest bit interested in Stalin! 

Well to be honest, he's not really my type.  I like'em female, alive, no mustache.

[The Minsky Moment]

Do you agree with grumbler that Stalin was a profoundly unintellectual man?

I think if your aim was to needle grumbler, this was not a good example to use.

Kind of funny though to see poor Tim:
(a) get hit by collateral damage in the grumbler fight
(b) compared to Stalin

I don't follow.

He was born to be collateral damage.

This is discussion made me go to Wiki to refresh my knowledge on the matters.  I was shocked by what I found.  I know that Obama was dressed up as a terrorist, but I didn't know that he also on one occassion dressed up as an NKVD officer.

hott.

I feel rather unfairly treated to be left out of your list, as I posted examples of Stalin debating with H.G. Wells on a fairly high level which clearly speaks against Stalin being a profoundly unintellectual man, and yet did not mention you. I could have said, for example, that whatever intelligence Stalin might have had he seems to have been a lot more pleasant to argue with than you are.

Your links were both busted when I tried them, so I didn't know if you were being serious.  My apologies if you were.

Your ad hom is noted with pleasure.

Is it too late to go back to Paradox OT?

I am very surprised that Stalin did not mention Grumbler in his discussion with H.G. Wells since it is well known within Languish that Grumbler has been a significant figure in history since at least the battle of Actium.

Also, it is surprising that everyone failed to grasp the importance of your post.  Everyone except you of course.  Could it be all of us or just you?

And they said he was to young and inexperienced.

Was he with Octavian or Antony?

Since he is still with us I would think the answer was obvious.

That depends on how unpleasant one finds discussing semantics as opposed to say having ones finger nails torn out by an NKVD thug wielding red hot tongs.

I hope he'll lasts more than two years at his current job.
