I have studied Indo-European and lingustics for years
and I have not imagined even a second that PIE could come from India.
Your political agenda is precisely what dictates
your preconceived (and phoney) OIT past.
When do you plan to start applying your proposed distinction ?

What is the reason Linguistics should have to justify its conclusions
in the light of something else ?
Historical linguistics has its own heuristic program,
its own methods, its own conclusions,
its own self-assessment.
You say you are not anti-linguist?
That's true,
In fact, you are a negationist of linguistics.
That's worse.

This sentence makes me think
we should get rid of these OIT idiots and their insane poison.

I'm afraid people like you
will sooner or later convince me
that the word "India" is the most powerful
vomitive.
