You were talking about 16th cen. Some were called the 'old English' but no 'Normans'. And I do think it is very important to not mislabel people and call them something else. Mislabelling is part of colonialism.
Stephen, not everyone is aware of your research and the extent to which "Norman" is largely ahistorical. Gearoid, consider also this is something that Stephen feels strongly about. Everyone can just relax, because people are still learning and are speaking in good faith here.

Nothing about how I was just treated involves "good faith". But fuck it. I'm done. I've had enough. The last thing I needed was to be reminded my academic dreams are more or less dead.

No one was shutting down your academic dreams. Stephen feels strongly about his work and has received a lot of pushback on it. You were unaware of that, so okay, but I think this is largely a problem of miscommunication and tone.
