Did. Now, once again...in what way does JB not know what he's talking about in regards to Shakespeare?

I don't know enough about Shakey to know what is right or wrong. I've read the poems and plays, I've even read a few bios of him but, I just never collected enough info to take sides in a debate.

But I do know people who read one book and think they know every thing. In that case, I should know lots. But I don't. I know that his poems are really math like in precision. Beyond that I am Sgt Schultz and know nothing. Nothing.

DeVere the bad poet was really the brilliant writer Shakespeare. I am sure he mentioned it in the thread. Did you see that?

I've stepped away from the Byrne board for the last few days. I'm not really a particularly religious guy but I've found his recent religion-bashing very distasteful and outright offensive. It's religious racism. I suspect he's probably on the level when it comes to his militant atheism and not necessarily troll-baiting but regardless of why he does it, if he takes to standing on street corners screaming "nigger," I'm walking away from him.

I imagine I'll eventually check back in to see how he's kicking around his fans, but for right now, his farts have stunk up the room.

Yup. Is it absolutely & categorically an impossibility?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxfordian_theory The DeVere theory is opposed by many, but you might need, in the beginning to have an iron in the fire to have an opinion. The fact that Shakespeare was known to history and can be found in public records and even paintings, suggests that he was who he was said he was, despite modern questions and arguments about authorship.

But people can still wonder, there are tons of reasons to wonder, for example if he didn't also love men, if you read his poems without simile or metaphor. You can wonder how someone with a likely limited education could have found so much information and knowledge of court life, when reading his plays. These are all valid. However likely it was that Shakespeare was the author of the works in question.

Ah, ah, ah, Mr Ness. Byrne frowns upon Wikipedia:

Happy Fourth!!

With the vast number of users, shithead edits are likely. But there are editors who over see it all. I used Wiki as a tool, since people are required to source their comments, you can go into the sourcing and use that alone if nothing else.

I have gas.

Unless DeVere was a Klingon which would seriously tip the argument in his favour, it's impossible.

In some parts of the world Klingons is another word for hemorrhoids, and I bet DeVere had them. Most people do...
