Woo and BS on history message boards [View all]

I have not found a world history message board that is not full of nationalist and ethnocentric hacks. The Macedonian nationalists that think Alexander the Great was a Slav. The Indian nationalists who think the Indo-European languages originated in India. The Turkish nationalists who think Etruscan or Minoan or Sumerian is related to Turkish. And they always type in poor English and have a penchant for ALL CAPS.
