I like this board. I always enjoyed talking to JB when he was doing conventions. I read some threads and not others (I finally decided to read this one today). I don't read every board. For instance I don't read the Mr. Who board because I know nothing about him and haven't seen the movies.

Well said, Steve. Jehovah's Witnesses also believe Jesus
(a man, the earthly form of Michael) was crucified on a
stake. This ignores the widespread use of crucifixion by
the Roman's during the time. I believe Jesus carried his
cross beam, not his whole cross, and then he was crucified
with it on his stake or tree, which were already at
Golgotha and were known to be there where crucifixions
occurred.

And Greg, seriously, just ignore those other threads. Took
me a while myself, but I know why I'm here, and that's
where I go. I avoid the politics too, as much as I can,
but I think see your point, "Why are there so many
political, social debates on the John Byrne Forum?" The
short answer is there just are. The longer answer involves
more of what you're trying to avoid. Let it go and get
down to some serious discussion about Guardian's outfit.
It's still so frickin' cool.

The points Greg attempted to make was that JB contradicted himself by breaking his own rule (which JB didn't), and that the previous incarnations of this message board was such a nice place when there was little to no moderation (which is a psychedelic fantasy) . Also he's dredged up the notion that JB should keep his opinions to himself and stick to posting artwork, because the community (the "JBF") is just so much more precious. Again, another gibbering fantasy, that I thought we would outgrow. But the scenario that there would someday be senior and near-senior citizens raging at their computer screens about how Byrne ruined their online lives ... is today.

Little or no moderation in the old days? I came on board back in 2007 and never noticed. I guess I don't go out of my way to be offended by political statements (an old habit of my dad, and Greg, it seems).
I've taken up Ted's practice. If it looks like a bashfest, I steer clear of it. Conflict isn't my thing.

I believe Jesus carried his cross beam, not his whole cross, and then he was crucified with it on his stake or tree, which were already at Golgotha and were known to be there where crucifixions occurred.•• Only in John is Jesus portrayed as bearing the cross himself. In the other three Gospels, it is a man named Simon whom the Romans compel to do the heavy lifting. All four versions agree it was the entire cross that was carried. The notion that it was the cross beam alone is a much later invention, brought in when some folk took the time to calculate just how much the typical portrayal of the cross would weigh. Another of so many instances, here, where people believing themselves "devout" rewrite Holy Scripture to suit their modern perceptions -- which, of course, undermines the very basis of the Faith.

The Gospel of John is also the only book of the NT to mention nails regarding his crucifixion (and only in a post-resurrection episode). It's fascinating to read about his execution only focusing on one Gospel at a time and not syncretically.

Making accuracy further suspect is the fact that these stories were only
passed down through verbal telling for generations before being written
down. Think "I caught a fish this big" told to a group and then passed
on hundreds of times and suddenly "he fed a crowd of 5000 with 2 fish
and a loaf of bread" makes more sense.
