I say the entire matter should be revisited by
qualified experts. I am totally dissatisfied with
all attempts by scholars to review Dr. Thiering's
scholarly work for the past quarter century.

Dr. Thiering herself had a notice on her official
website inviting other scholars to examine her
evidence but it has been taken down -

Pesher of Christ
http://www.pesherofchrist.infinitesoulutions.com/

BTW the relevance of my usenet posts to
sci.archaeology is that the Thiering Reconstruction
invites examination of all relevant archaeological
evidence at Qumran and its outposts to see if
there is any conflict.

So what? No one cares what you say.

So what? No one cares what you think. Not even Barbara Thiering.

Likely because she knows no one of any repute accepts her theories.

So what? All you give is a massive outpouring
of bunk.

Prove it, if you can. Personally, I think you are
incompetent.

I see the comedy writers of the Crunchy Comedy Hour are trying out a
new catch phrase, "Grow up, kid." I don't think it will ever be as
funny as past catch phrase "Bogus, get lost," or the classic "Cheap
bigot," but it does give Carl a compulsive phrase to use as a retort
when he knows he has nothing to say. It's another way for Carl to
simultaneously sustain his gibbering and demonstrate that he has lost
a debate.

Sucks to be you, Carl!

And it takes two to debate.
The crunchy thing doesn't debate.
It pretends to be the arbiter of truth.

Bogus bunk here by George.

Further, let's have a REAL DEBATE over

"Bogus" and "bunk", two Crunchy catch words for the price of none!

No. Nobody wants to have a debate. Not even you. All you want is to
ride your hobbyhorse, telling everyone to read some useless crap and
explain it to you. Sucks to be you

> Let the games begin.

More proof that Carl DOES ride his hobbyhorse. As for "the games," you
lost long ago. Sucks to be you.
