I certainly didn't say that Wikipedia claims he is a loony conspiracy theorists (I am though implying that the scientific field of archaeology thinks that) and I didn't mock you, but if anything Graham Hancocks ideas (which are distinct from his person, something you ought to remember).

If you think my comment was toxic, well then I don't really know what to tell ya. I find it more toxic for our society to spread pseudoscience like Hancock does (which also has the effect of diminishing the accomplishments of other cultures, making it even worse).

If you don't think it's toxic, I think you just got to think about it (and feel about it) a bit more.

Something I ought to remember? Come on, man: you chose what to say, and your timing. How sensitive do you think that is?

It's not all just about adjudicating ideas, you have to consider the people, too.

It would be good if you just reflect on it, let it work on you a bit, alright?
