I don't know why you should take responsibility, Renia - starting a
thread that is squarely on topic doesn't make you liable for what
becomes of it.

There are currently 94 posts in the _main_ thread on the subject, only a
small proportion of which are from you & those perfectly unobjectionable
as far as I recall.

Tony Robinson is certainly not worth quoting to the newsgroup in my
opinion, if indeed you did so - a crummy actor, a dud politician and no
historian at all doesn't amount to any kind of authority on the matter
in hand.

But then, upsetting me isn't necessarily something to be avoided either.
