The "trigger"? An OP claiming

on an AcademicBiblcal a subReddit post about a British academic, Alan Garrow, claiming that the eruption of Vesuvius was the target, with VERY specific alleged terminus a quem/ad quo dates for the writing range of Revelation. Color me skeptical.

That's even more so since Alan Garrow also claims the first part of the Didache precedes even 1 Thessalonians. He gets there by saying this is the same as the "Jerusalem Council," which he claims actually happened and also claims that Acts 15 is paralleled by Galatians 2:1-10. Really? Pass.

I get the feeling that some Young Bucks at AcademicBiblical are looking for young bucks in biblical scholarship who have one foot, at least, halfway in the Sokol hoax camp. And, Garrow's Sokol hoax is a Didache fetish. Go to his website. Revelation? See the Didache. Paul in the two letters above? See the Didache.

By no means is everything there bad, though. There are several people in my general range of dating and editing ideas on both the New Testament and the Tanakh, which is to say, setting aside apologists, people who are in the left one-third of datings without being Dutch Radicals on the NT side or Copenhagians on the TNK side.

There are "apologists," or fundagelicals, there too. A few of them are goalpost shifters. A few others are karma whores. It is what it is.

Anyway, especially with doorknob knows what on the future of Twitter, it's a better alternative to Quora, though I haven't much hit political fora there yet; it's basically this and sports so far.
