I'm going to break this down for you. I'll try to use small words. That's hard for me.
The entirety of Daldolma's argument is that I am not qualified to discuss ancient texts because I lack credentials. I was making a joke about the qualifications necessary for posting on an EverQuest emulator forum.
Daldolma's demands are ridiculous. No threads about anything could exist on this forum if people are restricted to discussing topics in which they hold advanced degrees. This thread, for example, would be restricted to members who hold a PhD in political science. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that is a group of... no one.
You found Daldolma's requirements of those requirements to be "profound." That's why I made that little joke at your expense. The proposition is absurd. This is America. We can bloviate on most any topic we wish with few limits. Furthermore, this is the rants and flames section of a game forum. Requirements to post are limited to the ability to figuring out how to type in the box and press Submit Reply.
When I was a kid, we used to play a drinking game called Borderline Mongoloid. I'm a lot like you after I have about twenty drinks.

Excuse me, that's a mischaracterization. You're entitled to whatever ignorant opinion you choose to align with. You're entitled to discuss that opinion at length in RnF with your utter lack of credentials. But you're not entitled to overrule credentialed scholars. Alawen says there's no evidence of historical Jesus. The general consensus of biblical scholars say there is. They're not equivalent viewpoints, no matter how enthusiastic your irrelevant analysis may be.
But Borderline Mongoloid, what a charming game. You seem like a real sweetheart.
