History to Follow

[Bucefalo]

I have read and re-read the original post and i think that i am starting to understand what was some of the intention of the thread. I think the key is this sentence: "The reason I bring this up is because, in some previous posts, a significant portion of people seem to possess a prejudice for the latest history book or the lastest scientific article."

It looks like what SlickNica was doing is criticising several posts that he read, the problem is that he created a new thread, instead of posting his criticism in the very same place where he read it. I think that is the main reason why the post is so confusing and don´t say anything in concrete. To the OP, if you want to criticise some post made by the EB team, then you should post the source you are criticising too, and allow the author to show his opinion as well. Perhaps you misunderstood the posts, or did not understand them the way the author intended them to be read.

I think is that is SlickNica is not trolling, but is being way too generalist and if he wants a proper discussion he needs to bring into the discussion the EB posts that caused him to write the thread.

As it is now there is not much content in the original post other than: "hey EB team i hope you are doing a good work, because i don´t want to be disappointed and see anything that i don´t consider accurate. So show me your methods and prove to me that you know what you are doing"

I hope i didn´t come off as too harsh, but really you should be more specific and to the point, if you had been your thread would probably have been treated in a more serious way.

Lessons to be Learned
1) Specificity can and usually does shed a more focused spotlight on the issue(s) at hand.
2) Time management. It is wise to spend time on people and things that will bring about progressive change with regard to said issue(s). Anything else would be unwise management of time.
