    And?

    You implied that Americans are easy prey for crackpot archaeological ideas when in fact it is nothing unique to any area. I corrected that misconception.

      And if you are so concerned about the details I suggest you obtain access to LN.
      Why can't you? You could then verify your comment.

        At this point, nobody should doubt Hypatia_Alexandria's compulsion for sowing discord. This thread is a perfect example. In this thread, virtually all posters were agreeing with her and interacting amicably. Suddenly, she starts arguing with people over what she has deemed "irrelevant anecdotes".

          Kindly demonstrate where you consider this sentence "Oh I think the Americas have come in for all sorts of crackpot theories, particularly with regard to the peopling of those continents" indicates that I am referring to "Americans" .

              rogue06 has made an allegation. I therefore expect him to offer some supporting evidence for that allegation.

                Why? You yourself said it is irrelevant. Why have you suddenly decided to turn an amicable thread where everyone was agreeing into a derail about a specific anecdote? Why do you suddenly want to die on this hill?

                  The fourth word in the sentence (which I bolded and underlined for you) says it all dimwit.


                  Now, pretend you were talking about the land itself having crackpot theories,

                        Wow it's almost as if that's how memories work.

                          It seems so. Wasn't getting enough trolling in it seems.

                            WHy not? What crawled up your rectal orifice and decided to turn a thread with near universal agreement into crapping over someone's comment in order to start an argument?

                              Her "prose" just isn't up to snuff. Understandable for someone who struggles with english as a second language.
