ATS has been compromised.

who said what? Who cares really.
- If there are not reliable, and if Nazi officials testimonies and memoirs are not reliable, and if Nazis documentation is not reliable, and if liberators testimonies are not reliable, and if forensic research by professionals is not reliable, and photographic evidence is not reliable...than what is?
ProtoPlasmic theories maybe?
Bringing the financial state of the Holocaust survivors can win you the guinness book of records of the best straw man argument ever.
And you had the audacity to blame someone else earlier for using such methods.

I removed the quote out of respect for the ATS staff my friend.
It is due to a personal value that you probably could not even begin to comprehend.

I can tell you from my own experience with TPTB here at ATS that proto is right on the money.
The person that PM'd me knows who they are and they know that they crossed the line by doing what they did, but I will keep it anonymous until it becomes the right time to spill the beans.
What happened to me did not contain a link to a post like all MOD PM's do concerning removal of posts or warnings.
It was a warning shot aimed close enough to my head to scare me enough to leave this subject alone.
But obviously the sender has no idea that I do not care one iota about life or death.
I have lived the dream and had it all taken away from me.
To quote Proto who quoted Janis Joplin-
"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"
When I started this thread I had no idea that it would cause the kind of reaction that it did.
I kind of regret doing it in all honesty.
My goal in life is not to demean and humiliate people.
That is why I pay taxes so that the US Army can do it in remote locations for me.edit on 10/31/2010 by Josephus23 because: (no reason given)

I have never once emphatically claimed that xyclon B was used for anything in the labor camps.
The issue is a red herring that I adamantly avoid.
If you look through my posts, I focus on very certain issues only and most concern logistics.
You are pulling a straw man argument and it is not working.
I posted a challenge to Stormdancer a couple posts up
Since you basically committed yet another logical fallacy by attributing a statement to me that I have not made
Then why don't YOU take me up on my challenge?
Prussian blue
Leuchter's opposition to the possibility of homicidal gassings at Auschwitz relies on residual cyanide remains found in the homicidal gas chambers and delousing chambers at Auschwitz.[2]:167 While both facilities were exposed to the same substance (Zyklon B), many of the delousing chambers are stained with an iron based compound known as Prussian blue, which is not apparent in the homicidal gas chambers.[4] It is not only this disparity that Leuchter cites, but accordingly from his samples (which included measurements of it) that he claims he measured much more cyanide in the delousing chambers than in the gas chambers, which he argues is inconsistent between the amounts necessary to kill human beings and lice.[2]:167 This argument is often cited by Holocaust deniers, and similar claims are also made by Germar Rudolf.

Kailassa, josephus and all other deiners here. I'm confused.
You are claiming that Ziklon-B was used for delousing and not for extermination.
Am I right so far?
Then you claim, no Ziklon-B traces were found in Auschwitz – Birkenau, so this is a proof people were not exterminated by gas.
Am I right again?
So which is it? You can't have it both ways.
