I think I'll just give up on pop gen forums !!
On Anthrogenica, everyone wants to be Beaker-derived, and expresses their disappointment at being less so than expected.
Here on Eupedia, it's a constant witch hunt for alleged nordicists.
I stand on a ridgeline between northern and southern Europe, and there seems to be no place where I can feel comfortable.
Heck, can't you all just stick to the figures, analyze them for what they are, and try and see what they reveal in terms of migratory paths.
Doesn't it suffice to the British that they conquered half the planet ? Doesn't it suffice to Greeks and Romans that they fathered western civilization ?
For heavens sake, give us a break !!!!!!!
I take great exception to being told I am taking part in some "witchhunt", if that is indeed what you're doing.
I don't know how long you've been involved in this hobby, but I've been studying population genetics, reading various web sites and blogs, and posting about it all for over ten years.
As a result, I don't have to make up anything about certain people and their agendas. I've heard it from their own mouths, from a time when they weren't so careful about hiding their opinions. I also was posting here for a years long period when Stormfront and theapricity members filled pages of this site with their disgusting, nordic supremacy rants.
Yes, they're gone now, no thanks to new members who don't know what it was like.
I've found in my life that when someone tells you he's a racist, a thief, a murderer, a liar, whatever, it behooves one to believe it and to be leery of their behavior in the future.
I also think it is a vast misunderstanding of the current state of affairs to think that some of those unlamented late posters haven't tried to come back and post under "sock" accounts. Perhaps you would have to read my pms from various members to understand what is sometimes hidden under the surface.
Absent that, perhaps giving us some credit for good faith would help.
