This is such stunning nonsense I hardly know how to respond.
In a post that was already too long, I omitted from a quotation
what I did not consider relevant to the specific point under
discussion. I disclosed in the quotation through the use of
three-dot notation that I was excerpting, and then after the
quotation I specifically disclosed the nature of what was omitted,
and gave the full bibliographic reference. (I also never said anything
about "fortresses", and have no idea what SG is talking about
when attacking me for use of this term I never used. My consistent
term was "Hasmonean state enterprise".)

Of course I have done no such thing to Bar-Adon's publications.
Failing to respond to any of the substantive issues raised by
Bar-Adon, SG responds with ad hominem and raving.
