Except I am not breaking the rules, because I am simply demolishing your argument., Reporting me in those circumstances IS abuse of the report system and hence against the rules though, and you'll get warned on it.Stopping you here, because you're wrong, very wrong indeed.
Arguing is all fine and well, but when you stop mid argument to bash your opponent, as you did, it's against the rule, and I will report you. Period. You are not immune to the rules, and don't play dumb, that is exactly what you did. You stopped your argument, and bashed me. That is not "demolishing" an argument, it's being a jerkass.

Else I can just say aliens built the pyramids and say there is no contrary source.
ELEMENTARY stuff this. You have to establish it first. There is NO historical establishment of any such thing ever happening.
And it i as simple as this- if it had happened, people would have noted it. Henry V's speeches in the Hundred Years War WERE recorded, by the English side. No record of any such claim of his is recorded. You know why? Because he never said it. And not one single other person, on either side, ever in history is reported to have made such a claim either. What does that tell you?
Oi, here we go.
Where did I claim finger cutting happened? I said, plainly, pages ago now, the word "propaganda". I've said it's a possibility, worse things were done back in the day, and personally with the problems the archers caused I'd have send them back minus a hand, ransom money is great, but I do not like being shot at.
Will also take tiem to highlight a large portion of medieval soldiery was illiterate.
anyway, are you done with your strawman fallacy? I am not arguing whether or nto finger cutting happened, it /could have/, don't care, doesn't matter.
Link me to the speeches?
