I am still waiting for you to cite even one of the ancient sources you say supports your claim. My analysis of ancient sources from the Perseus and TGL databases is not only my own. Here is what Dr. Jeremy McInerney of the University of Pennsylvania says on the matter:Guest wrote:You're smarmy (that's a good way to describe you). You are obviously biased, and a typical member of the 'digital generation' who wants to mouse click through everything. I doubt you have done extensive research by the standards of anyone over 45. When I read your posts, I understand why youth unemployment is so high. I had no interest in this debate before I read these posts. I still don't care, but I'm convinced you're a propaganda troll. I don't believe you anything you have written. Yes, I'm accusing you of spreading propaganda. I don't really think it's a very serious charge because I don't take you seriously. I think you are following a poorly written script. You're copying from a second rate source, but probably not Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia articles are much better than what you write. The only other thing you have convinced me of is that the Macedonians were not Greek.
