Imperial Byzantine Policy Towards The Slavs And Its Effects

[Crn Volk]

There is nothing disputed

you don't dispute the name?

[Queen B]

The disputed name is about Fyrom, not about Thessaloniki we are talking about

I agree, some of our Egejci are quite extreme. Some extreme Macedonists, some extreme Bulgarophiles. I guess it's common in disputed territories.

Diaspora is always extreme, and often, dumb. Look at Thraex, who changes his identity more often than he changes his pants. Or you, who is not very smart by default. The most reasonable Macedonian here, Vojnik, as far as I know, lives in FYROM.

No your wrong, diasporans have a third person view of the situation and it gives us a better perspective

[Petros Houhoulis]

yes, I find Greeks from outside of Macedonia much more reasonable

It's because they don't know you that well.

Yeah, you guys are extreme chatters... It's the "disputed territories part" that you chat really hardcore.

On the other hand you folks don't chat with the Albanians about Uskup. This is where you both get more physical... Because the territories are really disputed...

Nope he lives in Australia, the most pro-Bulgarian and most anti-Greek Fyromian ever

I accidentally bumped up the thread

Great Emperor but the war in the Wes proved disastrous.

[Tigranes]

Remember 1453!

This is not true as one can easily see, since the Slavs throughout this period were contained (seggregated) by the Byzantines in self-governing areas called “sklaveniai.” The Slavs’ expansion and unrest were usually controlled by force, but a few times the Slavs were transferred to Asia Minor to make them assimilate with the Greek population there and to avoid the errosion of the Greek population in Europe.

Well said, Some Emperors moved them in Anatolia.
