Ah. OK.

The origin of the whole thing was Steve's question regarding did "we" 
believe Jesus existed or not. To which John (I think) referenced MacDowell 
who had done research into the topic (and concluded that Jesus did exist).

I thought you were trying to discredit MacDowell's research by referring to 
that site, and then claiming it was accurate (honest) in your opinion.

But I think I understand now that you were just trying to provide an 
alternative, or critical, evaluation of MacDowell's work. I think that's 
always a good thing - it's good to look at critiques of any issue.

My only closing thought on this is the critiques themselves need to be 
evaluated with just as much skepticism and critical thought as the piece 
they are critiquing.
