The squabbles here: they have to cease

I'm rather lenient when it comes to people I like, in my Media- Watch pose (at Facebook), personal life, and at this blog (and a few others).

That is, I cut "friends" a lot of slack, about a lot of things, but....

DrDee and long-time pal Zoam Chomsky have got to curb their incendiary bouts here.

Several visitors have expressed distaste of the spats, mostly because they are vile and also because they thwart mindful commentary here.

I'm tempted to delete many already online and not allow those yet to come, and they will come because you boys can't help yourselves.

I'm all for argumentation, but arguing only for arguing's sake will be verboten.

So forewarned is forearmed, no?

Weather phenomena, not UFOs or Editorial cartooning?

Copyright 2019, InterAmerica, Inc.
Bryan Sentes writes that this isn't a representation of UFO warfare and does not represent an editorial-oriented drawing about the Reformation/Counter-Reformation weltanschauung  that I contend it represents.

Bryan leans toward the explanation that the broadsheet is showing, along with the Basel broadsheet, a representation of unusual weather phenomena seen by the population for the dates indicated in the text.

(And he has support, of course for his position, as usual, some from Jerome Clark in his 1998 UFO book.)

But what is this (in the Nuremberg broadsheet, shown above):
Is that a fire from a lightning hit, a meteor hitting the ground, or a new kind of meteorological thingie?

It's the wrath of God, afflicting either Luther's heresy or the Church's vivid rebuttal, depending upon the "cartoonist's" -- he's no artist -- predilection.

And what's this:
A spear? Or some kind of Germanic weather icon, pre-Nazi?

I'm sorry, but Bryan's weather thesis, along with the UFO speculation, is poppycock.

The depiction, along with the Basel broadsheet, are both opinionated drawings, not unlike Bosch's Ship of Fools in the time-frame.
