Also regarding the church, the traditions of the Egejci have since been fading, as many follow the main process of the MOC from what I've heard. Not sure to the extent where this is true, but it also shows that many expect Egejci to conform to the traditions and customs of Macedonians from the Vardar region.
Brian, you cannot exclude emotions from this debate, it is something which affects all of us and cannot be ignored.
Now re-read the reply to the first quote.
Touching back on the business point, you think the owner of a well established business may be worried that altering an important aspect of their business may act as a catalyst to their downfall?
Brian, I think you need to brush up on your history regarding the Egejci. If you had half a clue what happened, then you might begin to understand that years upon years of emotional turmoil can break down an individual and make them believe things that go against the truth. Precisely why we have so many grkomani today.
Egej is still occupied by Greece, therefore the circumstances are entirely different, and a comparison is irrelevant to this debate. We may be away from our oppressors, but many of us still have relatives in the Aegean, so we aren't entirely free from our oppressors.
Stop being an ignorant clown and realise that this issue goes beyond your one-dimensional thinking.
