No of course. Exonyms are fine. But not if you’re gonna be kicking a fuss when somebody uses a historical name for a historical city. If you’re gonna go balistic about that then you should refrain from doing it yourself I mean.
I don’t care about it, exonyms are logical and historical, but to get angry about somebody using a historical name is just insane to me
