Dishonesty…

I am currently going through a book about dishonesty in history. Basically some historian that was a Holocaust denier sued another historian because she called him a Holocaust denier and said he was a crappy historian, a lier, and all sorts of nasty things (at least in the acedemic sense). They were all true. This 3rd historian was hired to go through everything this Holocaust denier (that thought he was like Hitler’s second coming or something I guess) wrote and expose it for the crap that it was that was being masqueraded as history. This book was written by the guy that had to go through all that stuff and expose the dishonesty.
This entire book is about lying, misreptresention, falsifying data, credit being given to the wrong people, making people look bad by saying you are one of them and doing half assed work and using excuses… and making it look like it was all accidental when your motives weren’t really pure…
I love this book. I have just never understood things like dishonesty and plagerism and falsifying data and all that. I think people should be truthful and not try to push lies on people or be something they are not. Sorry, I’ve just been obsessed with why people keep lying even when faced with the evidence that they lied and why they thought they could get away with it in the first place…arrgghhh
Oh, and of course the Holocaust was real. Quite trying to deny it. I almost forget that’s half of what this book was about…I was so wrapped up in the whole dishonesty portion of it.
