Yup. He has told us he has no qualifications in the matter. Not going to stop him hurling insults willy-nilly.
He opens the majority (not all) of his posts with a direct insult. This is a merely a rhetorical tactic to sieze the higher ground.
Truth be told, he has no more expertise that any John/Jane Doe in the street. IanS, even though we disagree, is far more credible, for example. I would quite happily have a civil discussion with him on the topic. This is not possible with the current most vociferous poster. He apparently simply wants an ugly scrap. And that interests me none.
ETA: You may wonder why I do not report the insults. That is because I do not want them to stop. They are hilarious.
Obviously dejudge has a writing style which people find irritating and annoying. And even many years ago when I first encountered his posts on this subject, I found that he'd often reply against even sceptics who were agreeing with things that he'd said, but he'd still do that in a style which rebuked them for even slightest thing they may have said that did not quite fit with his own posts.
But I eventually learned to get over that. And for several reasons. First of all, English is clearly not his main language - his writing in English has got much better, but it was far more basic and error-prone when I first encountered him. So to some extent, I had already by then become used to giving him a bit of a "pass" on the way he was responding in what was not his first language.
But when you say he starts most of his posts with a direct insult - I don't really see that in what he posts. Because, for one thing, he's mostly replying to people who have already been far more insulting and abusive to him! So, if some blame is to be apportioned there, then I think you definitely need to look at the sort of posts he's replying to and see what they already said to him, and about him ... it's almost all personalised insults against him.
Is he an "expert" on this stuff? We'll he's probably the most expert person here when it comes to knowing what all sorts of non-biblical writers had said about various Jesus beliefs ... and if we are honest, most people in these threads, and in all the previous HJ threads going back at least 12 years, had probably never even heard of most of the named non-biblical writers that he's quoted at length (with references). So he is probably the best, and most accurate source for what was actually written about Jesus both in the biblical sources and in non-biblical sources.
At lot of what dejudge has posted recently has been to say that Paul was not a real person and that the letters were written late in the 2nd century and not around 50-60 AD as all biblical scholars believe (and as all HJ posters here also say).
But as far as I'm concerned the date of Paul's letters is irrelevant. Because the content of the letters makes very clear that Paul had never known any human Jesus. Instead it's very clear from the letters that Paul says he got his Jesus beliefs entirely from what he thought was a divine revelation which explained to him the true meaning of messiah prophecy in ancient OT scriptures. And as far as all the other people he names in those letters, such as James and Peter (often called Cephas) and John, he only ever says that those people also knew Jesus through claiming similar divine visions.
So really, although Pauls' letters are probably far more more important than gospels for those who are trying to make a case for a real HJ, in fact those letters are really pretty strong evidence
against anyone ever knowing a HJ … from those letters it's far more obvious that all of them knew Jesus only as a spiritual belief in divine revelation. So the letters really do not help the case for a HJ at all.
And for all the non-biblical sources that dejudge quotes – none of those could be considered remotely credible as evidence of a HJ, simply because in their only known “extant” form, they are afaik mostly around 1000 years after the time of Jesus (and that is waaaay too late to be credible as evidence at all).
