And all anyone was doing was pointing out, for those who might perhaps
be under a mistaken impression to the contrary, the extent to which it
was not, in fact, based on history.

Well, "overboard" is in the eye of the beholder. I, for example, don't
think that the criticisms voiced of the movie were "overboard".

Oh, so it's a difference of degree? It's okay to criticize
"Braveheart", but not "13th Warrior"? And who decides that?

As you are doing with respect to me? Funny thing to complain about
something that you appear to have no compunction doing yourself.

Hypocrisy, that's certainly something that doesn't belong here.
