when did i say i find anything offensive i merely told you what ethnic macedonians think do you even know english i did not state my view at all if i was irredentist i would have said temporary control and i said nothing about bulgarians anywhere i only mentioned the blue corner never blagoevgrad pirin the green corner if you will laveol you are suggesting that the blue corner is bulgarian you are offended because my irredentism conflicts with yours and now i will for the first time point a bulgarian editor to hypocrisy feel free to point me to sarcasm and avg the ethnic macedonians call their land in their everyday speech plain vanilla macedonia as well the only difference is the two versions are written in different alphabets and have different syllabic emphasis slavic macedonia doesn't work because the bulgarians and serbs and even poles are also slavs my proposal works better in a discussion as it is actually neutral and there has been compromise on both sides don't mistake this for intransigence just because your views have not been suited to a greater extent alex
