<<<Since people ARE disputing it, it cannot be an "undisputed"
fact.>>>

We are not talking about the ignorant in this newsgroup. We are
talking about ancient HISTORIANS!

What's this "we"? You may be talking about ancient historians, but
no-one else even mentioned them.

We that know about history.

So, only people who "know about history" are "talking about ancient
HISTORIANS" here...? So I suppose the rest of us are actually talking
about the real issues...?

The rest of you are talking about things you have no comprehension and
understanding of.

I think I mentioned before that I was talking about the definition of
"undisputed" being "not disputed," instead of "disputed by many people
who don't fit one Usenet troll's preconceived idea of historians let
alone ancient ones."

You don't have the remotest understanding of history or the English
language.

Wrong again. I _do_ have only the remotest understanding of
history.... Hang on, something's not right here...

Theseus existence is UNDISPUTED!

Then what's this if it isn't a dispute?

If you claim that he was made up along with
his parent's, grand parents and children then cite just one ancient
historical source which says so.

I am not claiming that he _was_ made up. I'm claiming that there is
no proof that he was real. A subtle difference but an important one.

I clearly have comprehension and understanding of the definition of
the word "undisputed."

You don't have a clue.


I do. Here's a clue: "un" means "not," and "disputed" means
"disputed", so you should be able to work out the meaning of
"undisputed."

But if you _really_ want me to talk about something else...

Mr Hare should provide his residents with slightly thinner pillows to
prevent this from happening again, but he couldn't figure out why she
always had to go through there into the inner courtyard of the Elves?

You what? Your hare, he, she.

No. Not "My hare", *MR* Hare. The surname, as in William or
Hartley. Can't you read?

You are more incoherent than Yads.


Thank you. I try my best. ;)

Personally I'm talking about the
definition of "undisputed," which means "not disputed." It doesn't
mean "disputed by many people who just don't happen to fit your idea
of a historian, let alone an ancient one."

Twaddle. Not one ancient historian disputed Theseus existence,

Irrelevant, since other people _are_ disputing it.

You are not qualified to dispute it not are you or anyone else in any
position to dispute it.

But we're having a dispute now, aren't we? If you don't think I'm
qualified to dispute it, then why are you having this dispute with me
now? If you really think I can't dispute it, then don't encourage me
by replying to my posts. Just ignore anything I post in this thread.

I am not discussing the subject with you. You know nothing. My aim is to
show you that.


Like that's suddenly going to start working on me now, after all these
years!

SPOONER'S SUCCESSOR! For a start, they could be liars _with_
knowledge of history but who decided to ignore it and lie anyway. :)

They are still liars.

But even liars don't lie 100% of the time.

They are still liars.


Not necessarily.

Irrelevant. I'm not talking about historians, ancient or otherwise.
Why do you keep bringing them up?

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Are you saying that I _am_ talking about historians, ancient or
otherwise?

You don't have a clue what you are talking about, so why should I know why
it is.


Well, if neither of us knows what I'm talking about, why are you
replying to me? Do you really like conversations where neither side
knows what's being talked about?

Well, if that's what you like...

I want you to slam loudly on the way -- and in any way whatsoever. I
will place an advert in the hall of the hidden staircase. It is
clearly derived from the Wumpus.

Perhaps it would be easier for you, once again, if I talked about
something else...

You don't have a clue about most things you talk about.


Then give me a clue. Is the thing I'm talking about animal, vegetable
or mineral?

Perhaps you should just try to spy on the elves from far away to see
how it's got anything to do with me. I also want to place my legal
affairs in the code, somewhere. No one seems to be tarred with the
broom?

You are INSANE!


Thank you. ;)

WRONG! That is a load of unfounded BULL***! All HISTORICAL texts are
equally valid.

So how do you tell _which_ ancient texts are HISTORICAL texts and
which are the UNHISTORICAL ones?

Read them. Like from the start, like where they say they are histories
and
like where they name historians who they are citing or using as sources.

But they could still be lying. Liars aren't a modern invention, are
they?

You are even more INSANE! Next you'll be telling us that aliens landed at
Roswell or some other equally far fetch conspiracy theory.

Like a Turkish conspiracy of holocaust deniers secretly working
together to keep the truth off Wikipedia? No, that's too far fetched
even for me!


You don't have one otherwise you would know the truth.

Do you know the truth? If so, does that mean _you_ have a time
machine?

You are a fool if you think I have a time machine.


If I already thought you had a time machine, I wouldn't need to ask!

Well going as how he died after he was pushed off a cliff, it would be
obvious that the bones were his from the fractures they sustained.

And Theseus was the only person ever who died from falling off a
cliff...?

No. His father fell off one too.

And I'm sure a lot of other people did too.
