Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 117 of 174 | ANN.lu |
Posted by smithy on 03-Jan-2002 15:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 107 (THE Believer): >Are we also agreed that Ceaser created/converted the modern calender.
Caesar was a pagan (like the whole Roman empire was at that time), why would they base a calendar on another religion?
The Emperor Constantine converted the Empire to what we now call Christianity by blending elements of the then Pagan religion and the then Christian religion to come up with modern Christianity. For example, Christian angels actually came from Paganism, all those thousands of years ago.
As for the calendar system, I don't think anybody started keeping time until the year 500. And rather interestingly, by our modern calendar system, King Herod (from the Christmas story) wasn't born until the year 30AD!
All I am saying is that the modern calendar system can only be moderately accuracte for 1500 years at the most, before that they didn't even have timekeeping devices, Issac Newton (1500ish) used his own heartbeat when he discovered the laws of motion! |
