"Wagnijo, I didn't really read your response"<br>
<br>
This certainly goes a long way to explain the oddity of your answer.<br>
<br>
quote:<br>
"Far too often I've seen debate on this forum by one or two individuals intent on creating flammatory discussions by posing questions degrading either the Roman Army, or attempting to glorify her enemies"<br>
<br>
If you had actually read my posts, you would have seen that I acknowledge the quality of both the Roman army<br>
and the Roman soldiers but argued for better individual fighting skills in the germanic warriors.<br>
<br>
If you find that this amounts to degrading Romans and<br>
glorifying germanics then I must say that you are touchy beyond reason.<br>
<br>
That you have this image of germanic warriors as topless,<br>
mindless, unskilled madmen who would go into battle<br>
without thinking about the risk of getting wounded and<br>
other possible consequences is fine with me.<br>
<br>
I might however be inclined to challenge it when you decide to air it in a supposedly scholary discussion.<br>
<br>
Perhaps you ought to ponder how your image of Romes germanic foes reflects back on the Roman army<br>

"I am sure there are some forums out there that cater to Rome's enemies. Why not try there?"<br>
<br>
There are all kinds of fora out there including some good germanic ones but I doubt you will find anyone catering<br>
for "Romes enemies"<br>
<br>
Most people find it extremely silly to categorize living people in relation to an 2000 years old conflict and I agree.<br>
<br>
quote:<br>
"And I am quite sick of arguing with people's egos. "<br>
<br>
Right now you are the only one displaying symptoms of a sore ego. So I am prepared to let our discussion rest<br>
<br>
Cheers anyway<br>
