"I've lived in Turkey for a few months and in all of the Baltic states for close to a year combined. Where have you lived..... outside of your ivory tower?"
I asked if you had an *argument*. One of those rationalistic notions that appeals to ivory tower types.
Instead, I got an argument-from-authority fallacy, along with an ad-hominem fallacy thrown in for good measure.
I don't doubt you have more experience on the topic than I do. That's why I'm not here trying to convince people of my particular view of things. I don't know enough to put together a credible big picture of what's going on. But I do know enough about history to be skeptical. If you haven't got any arguments to support your assertions, then I will don't feel much need to believe them.
