Uummmmm. What does this person think exactly how crucifixion was carried out? When someone goes to the Electric Chair, one does not have to say how he was strapped in and the dome put on his head and the wires were hooked up. The words "electric chair" says it all.
Actually cricifixion took many forms, and victims were about as often tied up as they were nailed. Sometimes they were completely impaled. In other words, “crucifixion” does not necessarily mean nails, but I think the biblical record is quite explicit that Christ was nailed to the cross.

Did you not read the article? If Jesus was nailed, why were the thieves hung? The Bible says they were all crucified, but then it says the thieves were hung.
Envision the poetry of a carpenter having nails turned against him to suffer- thus creating the exact opposite feeling once in heaven.
