The BAJRFed threat on BritArch seems to have descended into name calling and (bizarly) an argument about fuses (no joke!). It would be laughable if it wasn't quite so tragic......
ps.
for those wondering how they came to arguee about fuses, it went something like this.
1) someone says archaeologists should have professional qualifications....
2) response of "what about us amateurs? This is just like electricians taking fuses out of B and Q because those are for professionals" (NO! i am not making this up)
3) someone argues that archaeolgy is more important than fuses
4) Cue several sarcastic responses of "oh archaeology is more important than possible deadly electricution!"
5) Riposts of "no-one dies of changing a fuse... comnpared to people being crushed in collapsing trenches...."
carry on.... id adfinitum
....attempting to control and dominate british archaeology since 1984...
