[Article] [split] A Proposed Mapping of the Voynich Alphabet to an Indo-European Language

[Mark Knowles]

Mark, it was the other poster who claimed that I did not understand the research. I didn't start it, and it was not necessary for you to jump in and continue something that was between me and asdrpradii.

Your time would be better spent critiquing the paper rather than critiquing my response to a poster who insulted me.

My comments up to that point were about the information in the paper.


It was asdrpradii who made it personal by denigrating my intelligence with ad hominem remarks about my ability to comprehend the paper. It's seven pages long and most of it is a re-statement of Cheshire's work. It's not hard to understand.


Now let's get back to a discussion about the research.

It is just when you pulled that one on me recently when we were talking about plane matching and on that occasion I didn't point out that you were doing this again. You went to the line about you having done X for 13 years.

I am not saying I agree with asdrpradii at all, although I don't believe that he made an appeal to authority. You should rely and have confidence on your arguments alone. It you only make this kind of remark in this discussion I would have ignored it, but I have found you pull those kind of lines with me often, so when I see it makes me exasperated. My advice to you is just to try and avoid doing that and just rely on your arguments. I might disagree with other people, but I can't think of anyone else pulling those kinds of lines on me. It shouldn't be necessary.
