You might like to know that I have had a spat with a number of 'esteemed' historians, some of who were on the 'Jesus Project'. These so-called academics then proceeded to hide behind censorship, so that their stupidity could not be challenged. Apparently this is par for the course for this particular historian.

And then his colleagues became rather abusive, which again is becoming a standard trait of academia:

However, a couple of more enlightened individuals have now opened their blogs up to my comments, so that I at last have a right of reply. These blogs are:

As I hope you can see from these long discussions, academics are full of bluster and vitriol rather than knowledge, and so the history of 1st century Judaea is far from settled.

Right, Ellis... Clearly it is your superior wit and intellect that has caused others to ignore your posts; it couldn't be that you've been stalking and harassing me on the internet since I wrote some critical and negative comments about your online content. Tell us again how Jesus was also King Arthur and Paul was really Josephus?

For those interesting, a roundup of Mr. Ellis' tactics can be found here: http://tomverenna.wordpress.com/2013...y-ralph-ellis/

And right on cue here he is, the phony reviewer with phony credentials.

Verenna, since you have reviewed my books and criticised them, surely it is you who should be telling us how I linked Jesus with King Arthur and Paul with Josephus. That is how reviewing works, is it not? You read a book and then criticise or praise the various claims the author has made.

Oh, I forgot, that is not how it works in the wonderful world of Verenna. In Varenna-land (a close neighbour of La-la-land) you decide to denigrate an author or a viewpoint, and then you trawl the internet for a few quotes, and then you totally misunderstand those quotes, and then you write a so-called 'review' that bears absolutely no relationship to the book whatsoever. indeed, you invent whole chapters that are not even in the book, and then criticise them. Brilliant, eh?

Oh, and then when you get found out, and the author complains, you delete all correspondence from your blog and hide behind censorship, like a latter-day Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot.

And yet despite this, still Verenna appears to have colleagues that back him up. Although since Verenna has admitted having 'secret' websites under pseudonyms, it is entirely possible - even probable - that all these supporters are Verenna himself.


So this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what academia has descended to. Cabals of foul-mouthed louts who prove their academic worth by deceitful reviews and gutter-snipe name-calling. Doesn't it make you feel proud, that your taxes are being spent so wisely....


An academic author review - that your taxes pay for...
