A REPLY TO MICHAEL GUNTER (IJMES 40 [2008]: 728–29)

Extract

While avowing his concern for the “scholarly reputation of IJMES,” Michael Gunter is denouncing my lack of “common sense” and my “audacity to argue incongruously” in the debate about the general validity of the Naim-Andonian documents. To substantiate his argument Gunter once more resorts to the method of truncation through deletions; the essential part of my phrase is deliberately excised from the quotation he used.
