Argumentation

Look, I can tolerate seeing text in twisted Cyrillic, don't get me wrong. But to have a Macedonian-language rendition of the person's original Bulgarian name, we have to have some reason to do that. The guy wrote in Bulgarian and regarded the region (which yes, apparently did exist, didn't even bother to look up ^^) as part of his homeland, Bulgaria. So yeah, he's claimed to be Macedonian in the republic, but you can claim Obama's a Jedi, which he might and might not be. By any means, a claim is not enough, especially when accompanied by giant flashy stars of Vergina on the userpage…

Don't you guys realize that the more you parade your national identity, the clearer it becomes your identity is endangered and confused? A strong identity does not need flaunting. The number and size of Vergina stars per userpage is inversely proportional to the security of the user's identity. Someone's gotta study that, really.
