So, what do you think about my father's idea?

And what does he say about your Battle for Vukovar conspiracy? Does he also call you Galileo for that?

I haven't asked him about that, because I don't want to make him angry.

Back into it. Ask him which side he was on in the war.

Well played.

IIRC, our friend here tried to use his asserted heritage as cover, rather than consider that he might have picked up some genocide adjacent propaganda. Now we hear that he has some inkling that the dad who thinks he's galileo might be just a bit upset to hear that his son was huffing that paint?

Color me shocked!

What's most amazing to me is that people on Internet forums who are rejecting my etymology that the river name "Karašica" comes from Illyrian *Kurrurrissia~Kurrirrissia are not rejecting all etymologies of "Karašica". That is, they are not taking the agnostic position. They tend to be convinced that the name "Karašica" comes from Turkic "kara sub" (black water) or, worse yet, that it is somehow related to the Latin ichtionym "carassius" (which linguistically really makes no sense). I would understand if they were rejecting all etymologies of the river name "Karašica" on the grounds that they are not based on enough evidence. Maybe my p-values truly are not enough evidence. But that is not what they are doing. They are rejecting the etymology that has p-values behind it... but are accepting one that does not. Isn't that being intellectually dishonest? Are they listening only to the side of the story which is easier to read, one which does not calculate p-values? Are they listening to pseudoscience rather than the actual science, because they find pseudoscience easier to read? Or are they seeing something I cannot see?

Are we the only 'people on Internet forums' rejecting your etymology?

I’d be very interested to learn how many people are rejecting his ideas vs the number of people accepting them. Personally, I do neither - I simply don’t care.

I was primarily referring to people on forum.hr and Tapatalk Istorija Balkana.

So, you are sharing the same things in multiple places? And still, no one is buying into it?
