    Infantry Corporal IIRC. Got his dose of some nasty war gas down in the trenches, even, and narrowly missed getting shot too.

    A valid point. But how come you're in all seriousness making statements about the Achaemenid military system that might as well have originated from it, then ?
    3. this is the Monastery, not the Backroom
    I fail to 'get' the 'point' here...
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    The point is that sarcasm (i.e. bitter, caustic comment) has no place in the Monastery.

    Helpful or critical prose is the rule. If I feel that I have to be emphatic, I say it in a song (#24) or something, but I do not ridicule my opponent. Unlike the Backroom this is a public part of the forums. People come here to get answers and to post or discuss interesting historiographical tidbits, not to get slapped upside the head and be treated like an idiot.
