It applies to you because you rejected the opinion of a professional linguist who told you that you were wrong.
I know exactly what it means.

My ideas are rather revolutionary, so it is to be expected they would at first get rejected, regardless of whether they are more correct than the mainstream historical linguistics.

Now that we have once again discussed names of places in Croatia...I'd like to know if anyone there has a sense of humor because our resident Croatian has none.

No, funny here. Nothing is funny in croatia - as the place names make abundantly clear.

I have published a YouTube video about the names of places in Croatia: https://youtu.be/IdJd0TdJh38
