I keep checking youtube hoping your presentation gets there soon because I am also a Roman history buff in addition to a Bible scholar (amateur at each). I did enjoy your panel participation!Rob Krafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787233472482944767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959219.post-31609139612882596722010-11-27T18:18:34.373-08:002010-11-27T18:18:34.373-08:00Dr. Carrier, never heard of you before I went to S...Dr. Carrier, never heard of you before I went to Skepticon 3 - now I can't wait to read all your books. You signed my copy of Sense and Goodness after you lecture and I did not detect any jerkiness. You didn't pull any punches in your lecture, but I am a cut to the chase kind of person anyway so I appreciated your approach. I'm loving the book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881448945878229212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959219.post-50762917545058398342010-11-17T07:45:46.647-08:002010-11-17T07:45:46.647-08:00Well, in all fairness, I am something of a jerk, t...Well, in all fairness, I <i>am</i> something of a jerk, to people who deserve it. But those willing to have sane, rational, honest conversations, like Mike, don't.<br /><br />But it's also exaggerated by the flat affect of written text.

Of course he can be very aggressive in on-line conversation, but if one can't handle tough to-and-fro dialogue one shouldn't be on the web.<br /><br />I have not met him (I live an ocean away) but he certainly isn't a jerk as far as I Pikemann Urgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587558012877707537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959219.post-75816398372736312082010-11-14T21:17:31.981-08:002010-11-14T21:17:31.981-08:00This is off topic but I did want to drop by and sa...This is off topic but I did want to drop by and say I recently listened to your debate with Mike Licona. In some of the posts here on the blog, and in other writings of your's, I've come away with the impression that you are a bit of a jerk. But I got a completely different impression in your debate with Mike. You seemed to be very patient, personable, genuine, and kind.
