Statement of the dispute

This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections should not edit here.

Description

This anonymous user has tried numerous times to edit the article Pontius Pilate to claim that a mob of Jews ordered and carried out the execution of Jesus. As I've explained to the user, this theory, while popular with the neo-Nazi crowd, goes against gospel accounts and historians' current beliefs. This user has also vandalized the article, talk pages, and user pages several times, and been blocked. His latest edits were not vandalism so it would be inappropriate for me to block him again. He is still wrong, though.

Response

This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete.

Hello, I'd like to say that Rhobite and Wetman have been very hostile towards me on this website. I am not trying to harm anyone or anthing like that. Just want the truth on the Pilate page. Also, I am not the only one who uses this IP. I live in a large community. Just thought I should throw that out there. Finally, I would like to know what the point of this RFC thing is. What happens? I don't understand.

I agree with this, I have read the discussion and "Rhobite" and "Wetman" have been hostile and unfair. ~~~~

I stumbled upon the Pontius Pilate entry having had my curiousity piqued by reading of The Passion of The Christ. I am an atheist and my knowledge of the Bible is limited, so I really don't know who was responsible for the execution of Christ. It would seem to me that the anonymous user continually reverting the disputed entry has behaved irresponsibly. No matter how much he / she disagrees with the other users' views on the matter, there is no reason to introduce actual abusive language, which makes me question the authors maturity: Questions over the faith of the authors should be irrelevant, as discussion of the facts of Pontius Pilate's culpability in Jesus' death should be backed up by reference to sources be they for or against, not speculation on a users' faith. Apparently there is a question mark over who is responsible for Jesus' death. I think it is reasonable for this to be covered in the article as it is fundamental to PP's place in history. However since there is a dispute, it should be made clear that there are different accounts in the body of the article, and certainly no solid markers of responsibility should be made in the introductory paragraph of the article. ~~~~
