Summary/Abstract: It may seem odd, but my first reaction to the response by professors Ingrao and Emmert was deep gratitude—gratitude for probably the greatest professional compliment I have ever received. Ingrao and Emmert seem to find it difficult to believe that “the views and encyclopedic knowledge” expressed in my review essay could be truly and only the work of a “single, junior scholar.” I have decided to take those comments of the two senior scholars as compliments, even though they are obviously ad hominem attacks on my personal and academic integrity. After studying Balkan politics for so long, Ingrao and Emmert can be excused for refusing to believe that young men from that region can think independently.
