I love when there is a history thread asking about something specific and someone comes in and changes the subject to try and look smart.

Dont worry. Nobody read that crap.






But I am sure this book will be missed:

The Unbranched Tree -A rivoting new look at genealogy in alexandria



Oh hell- you mean the real alexandria

His post was interesting and relevant. Don't be a bitch.

Perhaps we lost an ancient book on being less of a bitch?

TIger1242, I've watched you start threads on ancient history for a while now, and don't get me wrong. I enjoy seeing discussions about ancient history. I'm just not so sure that you enjoy them. You are consistently unfriendly to people who respond in your threads, and you should be more open to people who not only just wish to talk about ancient history, but also those who disagree with you about it.

Scholarly history is an ongoing conversation of people with divergent points of view and interests. Did anything Bayou Sam said make you want to look up what he brought up... or make anyone else in the thread want to do so? If so, then it was a worthwhile post.

Lighten up, man. History isn't a dick-measuring contest. You don't get a prize for "looking smartest in his own thread."
