"Take another look at what I said hot shot......" You said (repeatedly) any suggestion that such event ever took place is laughable. Then you said you had researched it, which was a bold faced lie. Now you have realized how your ignorant chortling is exposed but rather than drop the phony braggadocio and have a decent discussion, you will pretend to have taken coup with spell check and inane challenges to data. "I said I spent many hours in and about the Coliseum (not the Temple) and am incredulous of the 50,000 number given for capacity....some accounts had it over 100,000. I think its a stretch to give it 25,000." Right. Apparently you used the inapplicable measure of a Coliseum and ball parks because you weren't paying attention to the facts, which was just ignorant since you had been given proper information. Now you are disputing the 30k figure by saying that 50K is incredulous but you might except 25k ... You pulled the 50k number out of your butt (your research center). The actual number of dead could have been exaggerated by the historian or he could have over looked some. The possibility of 30K plus or minus a few thousand is reasonable. The ability of Jews to track life, death, and lineage of members has always been remarkable so I figure there were not many who were missed. You do seem, however, to realize you've been in the wrong all along and have dropped one ignorant rant, only to move on to another. Perhaps fewer hours spent drunk under the hot sun at ball parks would help ... probably not, seems more like a character thing to me. Ok
