Opinion Poll

Who is right and who is wrong in the exchange of criticism (and insults) between Bulgaria's Diaspora Minister Bozhidar Dimitrov and leading archaeologists after the discovery of the alleged relics of St. John the Baptist?


The archaeologists are right because Dimitrov went ahead too quickly with announcing that the relics for sure belonged to St. John.
 
 36 votes.
 
The Minister is right because there is convincing evidence about the authenticity of the relics, and the criticism of the discovery does seem to confirm his claims that the other archaeologists are envious of the find.
 
 5 votes.
 
Both opposing sides have shown tremendous disrespect of one another and have essentially marred an otherwise important archaeological discovery with their insults and arguments.

The whole "conflict" between Dimitrov and the archaeologists has been blown out of proportion; it is really no big deal, and has not affected the importances of the find.
