Persian Invasion of 480 BC - articles

[Magnus]

I also never said Xerxes army was comprised of [X] amount of troops. In fact, I couldn't really care too much about this thread since it is Sean, as you say going around in circles. What I was trying to make evidently clear was the fact that people can analyze the same piece of information and come to a different conclusion, and that's OK. Some of you guys get so wrapped up in your own egos when it comes to debating something that you seem to forget that other people are allowed to not only disagree from time to time, but maintain their own thoughts and beliefs, especially in a case where nothing can really be certain.

My advice to some of the more active members of this thread who can't grasp the concept that people will not always be on the same page as you regardless of your own research, is to let it go. Present your case, and if there is nothing more to be done in the thread, then let it go. If there is one thing I've learned about internet forums is that there is no point in trying to crusade against another person's opinion regardless of what it is. All you do is waste time in your life when you could actually be doing something meaningful.

(Just to be clear, I'm not aiming this post at anyone in particular, but it goes for everyone who feels a certain thread is just going around and around.)
