You are way off point. Your original statement that I responded to was: >To be fair, it looks like all this happened in 2010—ISIS wasn't in the nation's consciousness back then: You are suggesting that since the name "ISIS" hadn't yet become part of popular lexicon that there might a legitimate claim to ignorance. The fact of that matter is it was known that there was a large terrorist organization controlling large swathes of Iraq at that time. And that this group was using looted antiquity to fund their activities. There is not a single expert on Mesopotamian art who disputes that. It does not matter which moniker they were using. Everything you have written since that is really just you having an endless semantic argument.

> You are way off point. One of us is, but: > Your original statement [...] No, the statement you quote was not mine, and not one that I have at any point agreed with or supported. And your responses to me have neither been germane to the posts they repsonded to or to rebutting that point made by a different poster. It looks like you misread my post agreeing with and providing additional context to your response to that poster as disagreement, and responded with argument that wasnt germane either to the points I actually made or to the point someone else made that you thought I must be arguing for merely because I responded to you.
