Quote:Many Wiki-articles are fine, but I would not use the pages on ancient Persia, which have been hijacked by political activists who think that everyone who does not share the propaganda of the late Shah (with Cyrus the Great as illuminated ruler et cetera) is a racist - I am not making this up, there's right now a petition against me which calls me a racist for precisely the above-mentioned reason.
I saw this petition and I actually laughed out loud! Of all the historians out there, you're one of the last I'd consider to be an anti-Persian racist.
I wonder if these people ever read your web page on the Battle of Gaugamela, or your pieces on 300 or Oliver Stone's Alexander.
