:::::::This would be an good policy to clarify, not only for my benefit but for future potential editors. In this specific case, I've presented a line of reasoning that tight correlation between the gospels is not a good test for inclusion since that would require many quotes to be removed across all four of them. I've also pointed out, as others have, that removing this statement would remove clear evidence of Jesus' actions fulfilling a specific Old Testament prophesy - how can we not require airtight, unambiguous proof that this was vandalism before deliberately diminishing Jesus' role in fulfilling prophesy? Saying that something "doesn't sound like what Jesus would say" or "sounds liberal" is too subjective to justify this.

:::::::I've been open-minded in offering constructive comments regarding this project rather than knee-jerk criticism, which would benefit nobody. Hopefully some good will come from this discussion. Thanks. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 13:22, 23 December 2009 (EST)

::::::::You haven't been openminded; you've been opinionated. Now, alternate opinions are fine but try not to pretend you have a grasp on the "real truth" and you'll get along here. Better to say, "I'd like to offer another way of looking at that" and then move on.
::::::::This is what I always try to do, and it's worked rather well for me here, even though I have quite a number of sharp disagreements with senior staff here. I go along to get along, and if you do what I do you'll get the same results. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:20, 23 December 2009 (EST)
