I hate these super "serious business" forums.
Anarchy is not cool, but being too strict is ridiculous.
Life is already too harsh, PC to even replicate it on forums.

I've a little-used account on there, and outside of any major papers being released it's rather dull, nor do I care for the groupthink that goes on there regarding certain topics.
Speaking of AG bannings, I recall an Italian guy being banned on there for arguing that the Etruscans did not come directly from Anatolia, nor did their language originate in the Aegean, and thanks to Antonio et al he was eventually proven right.

Okay, I'm curious. How did this Italian user argue it? If he was talking strictly ab genetics, and population data then I see no reason. But if he went into pseudoscience discussion then I think the ban makes sense. Any pseudo, or broscience on AG is going to cause a ban, and honestly, I agree with that policy b/c it is a very genetic specific professional forum.

IIRC (this was a few years ago) he argued it from a linguistic and archaeological context, as we didn't have Etruscan genetic samples at the time, save for a couple papers on mtDNA which even then argued for an autochthonous origin. But if an Italian argues against any theory about exaggerated, recent "Near Eastern" origins of *any* Italian population - modern or ancient - he's branded as "insecure" or "racist." I've seen it on here too when Sikeliot was around making those claims against people.
When combined with the DNA evidence, he was correct on archaeology and probably linguistically (from Wiki):
The earliest evidence of a culture that is identifiably Etruscan dates from about 900 BC. This is the period of the Iron Age Villanovan culture, considered to be the earliest phase of Etruscan civilization,[5][6][7][8][9] which itself developed from the previous late Bronze Age Proto-Villanovan culture in the same region.[10]In 1998, Helmut Rix put forward the view that Etruscan is related to other members of what he called the "Tyrsenian language family".[30] Rix's Tyrsenian family of languages—composed of Raetic, anciently spoken in the eastern Alps, and Lemnian, together with Etruscan—has gained acceptance among scholars.[31][32][33][34][35] Rix's Tyrsenian family has been confirmed by Stefan Schumacher,[6][7][8][9] Norbert Oettinger,[10] Carlo De Simone,[11] and Simona Marchesini.[12] Common features between Etruscan, Raetic, and Lemnian have been found in morphology, phonology, and syntax. On the other hand, few lexical correspondences are documented, at least partly due to the scant number of Raetic and Lemnian texts.[36][37] The Tyrsenian family, or Common Tyrrhenic, in this case is often considered to be Paleo-European and to predate the arrival of Indo-European languages in southern Europe.[38] Several scholars believe that the Lemnian language could have arrived in the Aegean Sea during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenaean rulers recruited groups of mercenaries from Sicily, Sardinia and various parts of the Italian peninsula.[39] Scholars such as Norbert Oettinger, Michel Gras and Carlo De Simone think that Lemnian is the testimony of an Etruscan piratesque or commercial settlement on the island that took place before 700 BC, not related to the Sea Peoples.[40][41]

Seems like an interesting place.

It seems to me, that in particular, the Albanian Portion of the group is completely ridiculous. Every time you mention anything related to history, you get jumped on by several communists who don't believe in history. ex.1, without saying everything, there is a tribe/clan that is not mistaken for another; has long history; more likely than not come from Princely bloodlines. This "group" started to play with alphanumeric garbage and started to appropriate history to some other clan that has little to no history in comparison. Its like Taking the Kennedy Clan and some sub-group who came much later and named themselves Kenedy (for example) are the original/real Kennedy's. this is the type of nonsense on the board.
Making it worse they rush to make these fancy articles that have already been cited by some Albanians as fact. Now they're trying appropriate history and land to others. This is extremely dangerous. I had some short lived debates on there and the only answer is a robotic/cult like response of 'you don't get DNA' so you wouldn't understand.
