Gotcha.
I don't
Furthermore, given that your knowledge about this topic doesn't extend beyond the average cut n' paste that is a managable task even for a primary school child, I won't be relying on your participation for any deliverable answers.
There is a huge difference. I have a greater understanding of the topic and I am still researching it, whereas your knowledge stops at cut n' paste.
Whats in the cut and paste is not "my knowledge".
Wether you have more knowledge, or have done more research than me is irrelevant.
I ask you again, can you show me any linguists/historians who agree, or even better yet proves without a doubt that Mycaenean is not Greek (even though its already been proven to be so)?
Although Im sure a scholar here or there may contest these facts, they are certainly a very small minority.
My contribution may be minimal in the greater scheme, but it is relevant,
It would be relevant if you could publish it and 'minimal' is an overstatement. In the greater scheme, your 'theory' is an unsubstantiated idea until you prove otherwise.
If you have nothing to contribute other than repeating what is already stated in the books you cited, then you have little value on this thread. That being the case, don't waste my time with your childish garbage.
Perhaps you are right.
Why on earth would we let books published by universities and highly respected institutions get in the way of the obviously more reliable theories of internet 'historians' with 0 qualifications, or expertise in the languages they are classifying.
Did I ask you to disregard what they have written?
Is this your attempt at insulting or offending me?
Its not personal whatsoever.
Why would Mycaenean being Greek offend you?
Is this your purpose on the forum now, to behave like some useless condescending prick that is still bitching on the inside about something that happened months ago?
Dont stress it.
Thanks for the advice, I will stick with early IE or Proto IE for now.
What can i tell you
If my research into this topic bothers you and prevents you from being constructive, then stay out of the discussion.
No need to get nasty my friend.
Can you show me where I have cited Bogov?
I didnt.
I said your 'theory' is similar to a Bogov theory, not that you cited him.
Take it easy.
I see no reason wht we cant debate this amicably....we did once upon a time you know.
If not, I suggest you tone down your lies, they are generating a stench, and I don't appreciate it.
I agree the stench being generated in this thread is very unpleasant.
And im not 'generating' it on my own either.
aside from the cut n' paste, you're irrelevant to the discussion.
My cut and paste is the tip of the iceburg.
Let me know if you want to see more.
