Immortal, I am not calling anyone names. I simply stated that his opening post was inflamatory at best, and that his presumptions on the origin of the name were unfounded and innacurate.
Furthermore, since diseases are often named for the person who was first diagnosed with the disease or the doctor/scientist that discovered the disease, the assertion that the city could have been named after a disease is pure folly. At the very least, it would have been named after a person.
And, as I have already stated, this was not the case. I know this, because I am the one who chose this name.
