I don't know why you imagine people are going to be consistent just
for your benefit (consistency being the hobgobblin of ... well, ...
what passes for Peter's mind). It takes no talent to be consistent.
Dull people manage it without a thought.

Wrong on both counts, obviously. If you can't deal with criticism, and
address it squarely, why not try removing yourself from the suffering
of SGM as promised earlier?

Someone says something in a flip moment and--forever after--you think
it's something they seriously meant? Why don't you take some time off
yourself, get around to that great unfinished (*unbegun*, I suspect,
alas) genealogical work on the Carolingians ... er Merovingians ... er
whatever. Yawn.

This is more idiocy - no wonder that Richardson's chief (almost only)
support here comes from such a low character with such a spoiled
intelligence.

Contradicting your own falsehoods is not a sign of cleverness,
originality or any other merit. It is just cloddish dishonesty, and
boring.

You only seem to have "flip" moments, as the specious flipping coin
that is John Brandon never settles, and much less does it provide any
real value.

Quite obviously I have researched the Carolingians to some extent, or
I could not have posted in detail about virtually every member of this
family to be discussed on SGM. I have never represented my work on any
family - or on anything apart from genealogy for that matter - as
"great", in quality as opposed to mere quantity, nor I have
represented myself as undertaking dedicated research on the
Merovingians.

However, the genealogies of both families are genuinely medieval,
unlike the early modern colonial immigrants that are your usual
subject matter when not griping and rattle-bagging to no purpose
whatsoever.
