    I think it's pretty wild to run a column on Columbus by someone who has given "just asking questions" support for "the new chronology" theory which holds that Columbus lived only about 3 centuries after Christ. https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/newchronology.html …https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1447372877595033604 …

        Jesus was a Russian Emperor who lived circa 1150 CE. Very popular theory in some Russian circles.

        Character attacks are not refutations.

        Is there anyone whose views you wouldn't trust because of the crazy other things they buy into? Is everyone's opinion worth engaging? If you were an editor, are there any people you would just say, "Nope, not running an op-ed by them!" because of their character or batshit views?

        The Wikipedia page is instructive. Basically all of history before 1600 is a fraud created by various nefarious forces to cover up existence of vast Russian empire:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_chronology_(Fomenko) …

        Roughly when do you think the historical Jesus lived?

        Do you ever comment on the actual content of pieces or do you just always get personally upset about something the writer previously said

        Ok, almost everyone who knew Christopher Columbus thought he was a jerk, and said so, wrote so, and had him arrested for it. There is no need to judge him "by our standards" because even by the standards of the time people thought he sucked.
