Waiting for an answer to what, o nameless one?

This question?

Had you read the full thread, you would have found:

Seán's contention appears to be that "Lochlainn" meant Scotland, or
part thereof. He quotes O'Corráin, without any other argument, as his
proof. This alone, I disputed, because Donnchadh is postulating, not
proving, a theory.
In any case, it's of little consequence since the general purpose of
the poster in question is not to partake in discussion but rather to
seek to generate slur and insult. A trait, thankfully, displayed here
by few. Even when he's ignored he still won't go away.
Your comment;

flatters both of us, although I do find it strange that you formed an
opinion without reading the text in question.
