Cybalist appears to be heading down the same path of
hijacking
as on Nostratic-L where victims are blamed for their
victimization.

??? This is by far the last straw.

The fact that "race" should even *dare* be debated on
Cybalist
is racist in itself.

The very fact that anyone can or would assume a race
out of a
first name, assumes that race is accurately definable,
which is
perhaps the most fundamentally racist thing about this
comment.

And this from a man lecturing us about Logic.

Your forum has lowered its standards of reasoning to a
point
that static is more informative than long dead issues
and
immediately falsifiable pet theories that are
constantly
rehashed over and over ad nauseum on this list.

I object to all of the following:

- Paleolithic Continuity Theory
- Etruscan relationship to Hurrian
- Reconstruction of languages 100,000 years ago

These are not theories. These are mythologies and I
don't care
to debate them. I've moved on.

Goodbye.
