Perhaps we have different ideas of what constitutes "worthy", but in my
book, showing that what someone claims as "certain" is anything but, and
that it seems to be grounded in questionable assumptions, is a vital
contribution to a discussion. And so far as I can see, no one else has
pointed out that at least one scholar has noted that the (kind) of whip
that John says Jesus used was one that would not inflict pain or damage,
even if used on merchants. So I also have to challenge the validity of
your present claim that I have brought nothing new to this thread.

Despise?? No. Just asking why you apparently think it is necessary to
post the way you do (My PS was a question, after all.), especially in
the light of the fact that the way you post is generally considered
(and has been noted on more than one occasion on B-Greek as)
unacceptable on e-mail lists. Indeed, for many lists, it would be a
violation of protocols.
Besides that, how you know what the Johannine Jesus' intentions toward
the animals were is beyond me. "Certainly" the text doesn't say, does it?
