Hey, wait a minute, this is exactly what we Greeks argue about !!
The term Macedonian, thanks to ancient Macedonians that spread Greek
Language and Civilization to the World, had and has clear meaning: it
refers to a Greek from Macedonia.
It is proud label for all Greeks in Macedonia. It is our (tribal) local
identity. We won't share it with any non-Greek. They (SlavoSkopians) are
not Macedonians because they cannot be proud of ancient Macedonians because
they made the "mistake" ( as a SlavoSkopian propagandist told me) to spread
Greek Language and Civilization to the World.
They can use the term Macedonian ONLY in its geographic meaning, as you
Bulgarians do. But then they need an ethnic name.
