I do not take it personally. You are just impolite, and offensive. It is clear that you are rude. I think we should all respect each others opinion on this forum. If we don't, there is no point is there ?
Please don't be rude in future, you turn people off.
If you find this Forum boring, go away and post on a forum that is more interesting, and where you can insult people.
The people on this forum are all very nice, and your attitude is uncalled for.
Subject closed.
Pavlov - the people on this forum
are very nice but everyone is entitled to disagree for what ever reason.
I don't know who you were telling to go away, and that is why I said that the replies seemed to be getting tangled. Please use the name of the person you are replying to or the reply# so that we can all get on the same page.
As for me, I can't go away. In case you missed it, I am one of the moderators here. I would be remiss in my job if I "went away".
But even though I am a moderator, I am still entitled to my personal opinion which I always designate as mine and not historical fact or the opinion of the Forum by adding IMHO,
So IMHO - Alexandra
was at least one can short of a six pack when she was dealing with Rasputin. Her "sterling parenting" skills (which I still don't believe in) do not mitigate the impossible situation she created by trying to run a country she had never taken any interest in before the war.
Nicholas
is to blame. If believed himself to be an autocrat, then he could not turn over his duties in St. Petersburg to "wifey - who wears trousers unseen".
And finally, I could be a "sterling parent" and a terrible accountant. Hopefully I am neither. I would like to think that I handle both jobs with equal aplomb. I would not want to leave either my son or my fellows employees in the mess that Alexandra left hers in.
Her children were raised in a cloistered existence which left them young for their years and she made political decisions that she then thrust on her "weak willed hubby". All the while hysterically trying to "protect the dynasty for Baby".
Can one ever be a "partner" to an autocrat? I don't know since I have never been one, but Marie Feodorovna did a pretty good job of it and she lost every one of her sons without running to a "two faced starets" for help in coping.
