..my mistake. I'm used to "Dr" among us meaning medical doctor...I stand corrected...Dr Odishoo has a doctorate in linguistics...so I ammend my comments to say that he is a professional in that field and as such can lecture people about Linguistics. ..the other comments still stand...if we want to encourage people to use academic and scholalrly methods of critical thinking in our history, especially in our modern history, then we need people academically and professionaly trained and educated in THAT academic subject. ..Assyriology is not Dr Joseph's field...neither is it Dr Odishoo's. Linguistics is not Dr Joseph's field, it is Dr Odishoo's....Middle Eastern History , and that includes OUR history in thje Middle East, .is not Dr Odishoo's field...it is most definitley Dr Joseph's area of expertise...like it or not. ..to assume that we are modern assyrians because we say we are, which is Dr Odishoo's only "proof"...is not an academic position...has nothing to do with scholarship but is indeed the adoring work of an amateur...and has validity only as such...which is NOT the way to encourage people to enter this field as scholars and professionals...basically because they will find only embarrassment in the field and a contradiction of their cherished beliefs...which is the reason we've produced only one person with the intellectual guts to enter and persist to wherever the knowledge leads. --------------------- |
