It’s not really an argument at all. No premises whatsoever. You could have just dropped your dislike because you feel you disagree and moved on.
Although i am very willing to read your thoughts if you could develop them a little more than that. I’m always willing to listen to a strong argument in favor of the treaty of Versailles and if you have a take i find insightful, perhaps even change my mind.
