It is fair to say, that you are often difficult to understand and sometimes downright obscure. That is an unfortunate characteristic, given that the subject matter (BC&H) is often inherently 'difficult to understand and downright obscure'. Might I suggest that you attempt to phrase your thoughts in simpler language. That way you will likely express yourself more accurately and we shall understand more clearly. As time goes on ... |

I do not think Littlejohn's posts are too difficult to read.
As long as you are doing your best to express yourself clearly, I don't think the moderators will "take action. Maybe the translation software works best if you use short sentences. Cheers! |

Unfortunately, this is due to the need to protect my intellectual property about what I write and place in the forum. In the italian forums not raised this issue, because the people writing in are not very interested in "plagiarism", but simply to challenge what "post" one. More or less here is also the same thing, but at this aspect also joins a genuine commercial interest and I do not know well how your legislation tends to protect the authors posting material in the forums.

Actually, littlejohn, your English is quite charming, and most of what you write is understandable. But some of your longer posts get difficult to understand, and I suspect that a lot of people here are not reading them. I decided you were using machine translation when I found various Italian words untranslated, which is what the machine translations do.
There are no legal problems with posting here, and youngalexander only meant that he did not think the mods would allow a continual rewriting of your posts. But I don't think that we have reached that point yet. |

But I am guessing about some of this. Quote:
In your frenzy to prove your thesis that everything was invented by Constantine, you have trampled everything and suggested a theory that for me (but not me alone!) is totally illogical, because it requires absolutely improbable theories, which are also difficult to prove, such as the alleged 'invention' of gnostic literature and Apocrypha, to establish that Christianity the invention of Constantine (according to your thesis) ... Sorry, I can't join you in this. "....as a despot like Musolini" Hard to say which of the two was the worst! |

This was exactly what I was looking for and that I asked from the outset. I will conserve a copy of this message so that it be easily recallable from desktop, so I can it readily see when I somehow doubt! Thanks you very much! All my best Littlejohn PS: for "occurrence" we Italians mean every time a certain word, a specific phrase or a particular event one meet in the text under consideration. . |
