It's rather interesting you think this because I have yet to directly call the authors either "Nordicists" or "Racists", as my knowledge on their background remains significantly less than that of Pax. Let's do away with vague descriptor words such as "basically" in some attempt to bend the truth here. Whatever leanings the authors may have, I have yet to personally confirm or reject such affiliations, but I do trust that Pax is providing reasonably well founded information as he usually does.I was not responding directly to you. You are the one who cast the slur at the authors of the study, basically calling them "Nordicist" racists. How does that contribute to an open and fair discussion of the merits (and demerits) of the study? It doesn't, but is an attempt to poison and torpedo the discussion.
Did I say I was "personally attacked" by you? As I predicted, however, you have now directed the slur at me:
As if only a "Nordicist" racist could possibly object to your slurring the authors as "Nordicist" racists. Slur away. Personally, I don't give a damn.
The fact that the mere usage of the word "Nordicist" in my post is interpreted by you to be an unfair slur comes with a lot of implications. Do you feel Nordicists, complete with their dictionary of slurs, racial slander, and fictional myths are some type of group that deserve social protections? Tell me exactly what your issue is with this term and why. Clearly this topic is hitting close to home.
So far the conversation has very much followed your principle of open and fair discussion because the topic of discussion that I had presented was erroneous information in at least one PCA of the study. A potential cause for this was theorized to possibly be the authors' personal Nordic Indo-europeanist bias (which I have so far interpreted as Nordicism). As far as whatever slur you feel to have incurred this still remains news to me and not something I was aware of so please go ahead and specify exactly what you feel insulted by and when it was specifically directed at you by myself. I have so far only attacked Nordicists thinkers, so if you feel this describes yourself then be clear in stating this so we can stop beating around the bush.
