Originally posted by Makedonetz View PostVoltron let me add my input as my father is from that villiage and lived on the island. Before the civil war my grandfather would trade freely with the neighboring villiages in that region and there was no greek, this new stuff built there is from greece and on the island there was only 3 houses left standing as the entire villiage was evacuated. Seeing from the pictures new houses were built probaly over my familys houses and grave stones. My grandmothers brother was still living there in their basement of the house. Sar Samoil was macedonian the greeks have twisted everything, they have made mala prespa into a cash cow for tourism which im happy as its a beutiful place{but not in a way to show our rich culture) That bridge before was not there, they had to take a row boat to and from the island. Must be nice to visit places that have no significance to you greeks, its funny my family was born their and they are denied to this day to come back but only if we proclaim my last name is greek not macedonian.

Originally posted by julie View PostVoltron, your comment the Greek language was not forced I am taking as a personal insult. My mother went to school totally in the Greek language, my grandmother had the shot beaten out of her for speaking Macedonian IN HER HOME where Greek spies under her window heard her speaking to my family. My grandfather was led away to be murdered for SPEAKING Macedonian instead of your disgusting language. I suggest you read this forum, the threads, and the rules. You may feel a lot more at home on one of your Vlach forums. We are free here.Macedonian and proud!

Originally posted by George S. View PostVoltron the so called slavic hordes went through greece,albania,bulgaria,& turkey to classify just macedonia as slavic is completely unfair.What did happen when these illiterate hordes went through macedonia they adopted the macedonian language & writing & ere assimilated.The slavic hordes did no more damage than other people who went trough macedonia.If we apply the same logic then greece should be called slavic & other countries as well.The slavic smear is actually more widespread when macedonia became part of yugoslavia
& part of the brainwashing that all sides used was to tell the macedonian population that they should take pride in their slavic heritage & renounce their beleif in the ancient macedonian heritage.Even today famous politicians still beleive in the slavic theory that we have no connection with the ancients.They beleive that the macedonians got wiped out in the sixth century when the slavic hordes invaded.This theory & others are flawed as the slavs were assimilated & they adopted the macedonian language as they were illitrate.

If you are curious about history, do the same for all historical events you're interested in. For sure you will acquire a more holistic approach on viewing things.Macedonian and proud!

I understand your point of view though and why you would consider it false.

TM, your making it sound like I get a kick out of this. I dont have a problem with you or Macedonians. Again, I read it all and it seems as if there is a dispute of the numbers and how that is impossible due to the sheer damage 15000 blindings would of been. I read the first page and its says that Skylitzes was confused. But it didnt say how or why he was confused. Can you shed light on this ? Again it was a very interesting read and I have to admit it does make sense. The medevil ages did have its moments of exaggeration and hyperbole. Not to mention that the reference to Bulgar Slayer was made later. I understand that.

Also Vlad the impaler was really impaling people. It`s a fact. He mostly impaled Turks, probably 100s or maybe 1000s but he was mad and i think he also impaled his own family members and his fellow people if i`m not mistaken. Then the Sultan in Istanbul gone mad because of this and he sent an army of 10.000+ soldiers to kill him and give it an end to his reign and thats how he died and his head has been taken to the Istanbul as a proof of his death.
