The dual points are that the term "native europeans" depends upon which
era
in history is selected and, that no evidence to sup****t the assertion that
some unspecified "native european tradition" employed ad hominum any more
or
less than subsequent christians did, (regardless of any particular
'faith').

Then Gibbon's interpretation of Polemus is full of ****. People are
human,
wherever and whenever they are. They are emotional, logical, kind and
unkind - no matter what belief system they amy or may not adhere to.

Filters are difficult for many people to remove, even if they become aware
of some of them. For instance, a geographically-localized folklore POV
filter can be obvious to most outside of a particular locality but,
indisguishable to those within it, who wear their filters unawares.

Mixing linguistics and anthropology can often lead to incorrect
conclusions
in reference to "aryan" as a specific 'race' or culture. This is where
the
Thule Gellenschaft went off course in a similiar search for "aryan roots".

Apparently you believe that this allows you to characterize others as
"niggers" while whining about your words painting yourself as an inbred
hick. And that's after claiming such 'name calling' elicits no emotional
response from you. So, which time were you lying; then or, now?
