I think that one of the problems is that Golb used 80 false identities to defame and economically damage the other guy.

>>Common era? what in the world does that mean?<<
It means “after Christ’s death”. I like to think of it as “AD”. :)

Interesting. I will be seeing Professor Schiffman tomorrow evening. He has referred to some legal proceeding that he has been involved in, but I didn't really know what it was about before reading this.

Common era? what in the world does that mean?I'm afraid I don't get this controversy.
"Common era" refers to the commonly used calendar start point.
Christians are a minority of the world's total population. I think we should be proud the entire world uses the (approximate) date of Christ's birth as its "common era" regardless of what they call it. By doing so they implicitly recognize the overwhelming importance of this event in history.
AD stands for "anno domini," or "in the year of our Lord." It is not reasonable to expect those who do not recognize Christ as their Lord to use this term.
Nobody is stopping you from using AD if you choose.
To: yarddog
BTW, you can read CE as “Christian Era” if it makes you feel better.

"Hateful because the only possible reason to use it is so you will not use Christ."
EXACTLY.

BCE - so simple a cave man could do it.
To: Spirochete
Twist it back on the libs, and say CE="Christ Era", and BCE="Before Christ Era" Very nice. I'll be doing that from now on!

When I read the rest of the article, I believe that 80 different on-line identities were used to slander and make suspect Cargill’s thesis. Read is yourself and let me know if I misunderstood.
To: gleeaikin
You mean like an anonymous post such as gleeaikin
I am one of the very few people on the net that uses his real name. This is quite troublesome if people are being prosecuted for saying something incorrect using on-line identities.

First of all how do you know this isn’t my real name? Secondly I am not using this or 79 other identities to hide behind a slander campaign against someone.
To: SunkenCiv
It is a fascinating subject.

To: gleeaikin
The article states "errors" not slander.
This is most troublesome if we are held accounted for errors we make on the net.
