[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] ??? The idea should not be personalities. Anyone who loves African Studies is free to post whatever. The decision to contribute or withdraw is all your own. I have no responsibility for your choices. I asked for specific things that went essentially directly unaddressed. I had to go find them myself because at best only 1 or 2 peripherals got posted. I needed a bullseye not a mere target hit. Were some post previous to what you just replied to informative? Sure. However there were emotionally based posts that made for "entertaining" reading or venting or what have you. Which do you imagine I call roorag? And there are posters who exclaim how this or that report is "pleasing" to them. What the hell??? Do they reject science that isn't pleasing? Is that anyway to conduct "objective" African Studies? Things are what they are. For whatever reason we did not initiate long distant sea trade amongst ourselves. That is not pleasent knowledge yet its a fact. Should it be rejected because it is not pleasing? I hope you can post here without needing a pat on the back for doing so or expecting no critical comment or disagreement. African Studies don't need favors just people who realize there is in fact a struggle going on and intend for Africa and Africans at home and abroad not to lose the struggle or give up struggling everywhere possible for whatever excuse. Me? I can't help the way I write or the tones some fell I invoke, nor would I ever want to. Breeding does tell and many other African ethnies feel those of my ethny are intractable. Can't help it. Nothing can be done about it. It's in the genes. We only ask try to bear us. We have worthy contributions to make. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: Well after all the roorag posts it's good to see someone leave emotion behind and try to assess what Cavalli-Sforza actually published without going anachronistic even invoking proprietary (thus non-scientific) filler that cannot muster peer review and no geneticists ever reference, cite, nor quote. Some people will not turn a critical eye toward that which [i]pleases[/i] them as they say from time to time about a report that is pro-Africa(n). [/QUOTE]A little tip: when someone goes out of his way to post information, even though that person made a commitment to stop contributing to filling Sammies' pockets, to help you out, a little bit of appreciation, or at least, not dismissing something on sight because you don't find it fancy enough, is not much to ask. Good luck with your thread! [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
