Reply to comment by MeatballDom in Is there a moderator or a member of r/history, a historian, or an academic who would accept the challenge to debate the subject of human breeding grounds in the ancient Near East? by Trimijopulos

I do not want to play academic, nor do I want to follow the system.

I sign with my name and I am looking for someone who has the knowledge (alias balls) to debate on the subject.

Well, you can see if you can find one at /r/AskHistorians

This is not the place to test out fringe hypotheses and conspiracy theories.

This is the place to discuss History.

You do not have the knowledge to decide what is a fringe hypothesis and what is a sound claim when ancient texts are involved.

You are doing no good service to History!

Seeing as I am an actual academic working at an actual university in the field of antiquity, it actually seems like I do.

I'm good, but you can take it to r/askhistorians and maybe you can find someone bored enough.
