Proto-Germanic language

There's an editor on Proto-Germanic language, originally an IP, who so angry with me he's actually threatened to 'get you and your IP banned'. I thought since you edit that page and he's not enraged with you, you could weigh in on the issue of adding a hard date of 2500 BCE to the article. Personally I think it's a serious reach to add it and that his own cite disagrees with him, but maybe different eyes will see different things. Ogress 22:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
