Theoretical Discusions?

[Sean Manning]

Discussions tend to get out of hand when the poster stated a bold claim in order to invite attack, and then goes on the counterattack to prove him- or herself "right". This sort of behaviour may be accepted elswhere, but it is not in the spirit of RAT. I would therefor ask and advise any members who think that is proper conduct to seek another outlet for their convictions.

I may have started the whole cavalry controversy by my blunt comments that I do not trust any sentence which begins "no horse would" or "no cavalryman would." I have been tetchy these last few months due to difficulties in the rest of my life, and I do apologize for being tactless.

The moderators can of course interpret the topic of this forum as they wish. I personally think that this forum would be worse off if discussions were limited to the Roman army and its neighbours.
