<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 6557813, member: 110350&quot;]Thank you, [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]&nbsp; But I&#039;m sure he&#039;s written to the Cambridge University Press to complain about the following passage in this 2018 book, and to insult the author in the same way he&#039;s insulted me in this thread -- even though I had no idea, and no possible reason to believe given the wide dissemination of BCD&#039;s identity, that it was supposed to be a secret:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/73697/excerpt/9780521873697_excerpt.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/73697/excerpt/9780521873697_excerpt.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/73697/excerpt/9780521873697_excerpt.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Cambridge University Press</p><p>978-0-521-87369-7 — The Early Hellenistic Peloponnese</p><p>D.

He&#039;s not going to insult the Universities of Cambridge and Bonn, and the Revue Numismatique? And the publishers of BCD&#039;s own Festschrift? I wonder what&#039;s different about me that makes him think he can get away with talking to me like that. Just some gossipy woman, I suppose. Not like all the famous numismatists he dines with who know how to keep secrets that aren&#039;t secrets. But: he shouldn&#039;t ever underestimate me, or my willingness to push back against undeserved insults. No matter who someone is. All Andrew had to do was apologize. But people like him don&#039;t apologize to people like me, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
