Can you even name a single module I've submitted? I've asked you for specifics before and you've not provided them - as God is my witness. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">False claims of copyright infringement are the method by which you bully others away, and justify your questionable conduct. The thing about false witness is eventually you need to either provide evidence or expose yourself as false. So I don't need to dress anything up in pious language. Your hostility and brutish behavior towards me is evident to all. </div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>The last two times I've contacted this list:</div><div><br></div><div>1. I asked an honest question about an error message. You responded with hostility.</div><div>2. I asked about the versification implications of a whiteboard idea. You responded with hostility.</div><div><br></div><div>Has there been even a single response from you towards me that was not hostile? Given that this effort is suppose to be a community effort, it's odd that it's always you trying to drive willing contributors away.</div><div>I agree, our mailing list is not open to distribution of modules which are not bona fide. So show me one that convicts me or stop your bullying. When discussion isn't even about modules, but about error messages, or whiteboard ideas, how about you exhibit the character Christ calls you to exhibit? <br></div><div><div><br></div><div>To try to move this forward and beyond this recurring silliness lets agree to let the past be the past. I would sincerely like the opportunity to contribute to this project without your constant hostility. Whatever wrongs you believe I've committed do as Christ commands - Matt 18:21-22. With charity give me the benefit of the doubt and let others see your faith in action. </div><div><br></div><div>P.S. For those who have stumbled on this exchange, the list is public, and from the archive you can see that Peter's hostile claims are false; and my response to his hostility has always been charitable. More than anything else when a prominent contributor to a so-called Christian project acts in a way that clearly contradicts the tenets of the faith it calls into question the faith.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Sep 8, 2018 at 8:56 AM <a href="mailto:refdoc@gmx.net">refdoc@gmx.net</a> <<a href="mailto:refdoc@gmx.net">refdoc@gmx.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think you are mixing up disapproval/dislike of you as a person with disapproval of your work and disagreement on distribution of the same via our channels.<br><br>You have been publishing and announcing on far too many occasions modules which we believe to be illegally distributed.

For example, I’ve compared the English translation of say the Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q2 Genesis found here:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="http://dssenglishbible.com/genesis%201.htm" target="_blank">http://dssenglishbible.com/genesis%201.htm</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">With the LEB translation (v2.7 contained in the Sword project) or found here:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+1%3A1-2&version=LEB" target="_blank">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+1%3A1-2&version=LEB</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">I’ve found similar enough translation style and word choice between the two that a case could be made they are complimentary. In terms of completeness the DSS are fragmentary compared to Masoretic text (MT). Yet more than 20% of the scrolls found at Qumran are copies of books found in the Hebrew bible (published largely in Discoveries in the Judean Desert (DJD)); show us what scripture looked like in the century preceding Christ; disclose ancient writing styles and spellings; and reveal the formation of biblical canon (exhibiting source elements of, Masoretic text, LXX and Samaritan Pentateuch.

<verse osisID="DSS:Gen.1.1">And God said, “Let the waters underneath the heavens be gathered together in once place, and let dr[y land] appear.” And it was so.

Consider, for example, a case where parallel versions contain practically the same versification except the latter includes Psalm 151. Does a whole new versification then need to be introduced? Or how about two versions with completely different versifications, or non-standard versifications. (My DSS module mostly agrees with the LXX versification save for a handful of exceptions, I think Ps.151 being one).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So my question: has development on any of this been advanced?
