Likewise, do bear in mind that among amateur and professional historians, no-one bothers to say that murder is bad and that murderers are evil. This is particularly the case in genocide studies, wherein the more than four dozen books I've at least skimmed on the subject have never once bothered with moral condemnations. This is because it wastes time and ink, and clutters the page with redundant words.

So when JulianLapostat wrote \"back down to acceptable numbers\", I suspect they assumed you would know that they were saying so from the viewpoint of the NKVD and/or Stalin... rather than exhorting people to kill Orthodox Christians, or expressing a personal view that killing Orthodox Christians is good.
