    There comes a point where the adult way of doing things is just to let it go and move on with your life. Is this really worth obsessing over?

        The post below is not about climate change. It uses Climate Change, as well as many other topics, to discuss the thesis, and is not about Climate change per se. You know the difference so please don't be cute about it.

          Bullshit Chris, and you know it. If you are going to be partisan at least have the balls to admit it. If you dont, I will feel justified in posting anything, anywhere, provided it contains a blend of GW and any other topic and doesnt directly discuss the effects of CO2, but the intent of the lying scientists behind it. :)

            Explain how I'm being partisan, and you're not being a Troll? Actually don't. Please don't. I can't believe I just asked a troll to have an argument. Please just find a more appropriate site to flog that particular horse on. Let me help you: Google: Global+Climate+Skeptic[^]. There are tons of places to have some fun and try and sway the unwashed masses. Do not grind your axe on this site.

              So if I am a Troll you are alowed to be Partisan? Come on Chris, since when was the truth an eye for an eye? As for Partisan, in the US GW is generally split along Democrat Republican lines. If you are to allow the slandering of GW sceptics as in the post below, likening them to alien reincarnationalists, then I can only assume that this kind of very obvious pro AGW stance of yours is due to bias. Hence the use of the term Partisan. Of course its entirely possible you arent being Partisan, and that your bias is due to another reason. Perhaps even due to to agreeing with AGW. I would also like to point out that given the rules of this forum, "The SoapBox is not for flame wars, personal vendettas, or endless debate about climate change, religion and US politics. Anything inappropriate for this forum will be deleted immediately." then pretty much all of the posts in this thread, being a personal vendetta / flame war between Ravel and Oakman should also be deleted. Waiting for you to enforce your laws with an even hand... In fact, if I dont debate GW, just rant about it. ie, I post something but dont respond to any respondees, then I am entitled to post here? SInce this seems to fit with the above stated riles in that it would not be 'an endless debate about GW'. :)

                  It is. There's nothing complicated about it. Just ask yourself if somebody else's opinion of you affects who you are.

                    It doesn't. It's just that Oakman is a petty tyrant and I feel compelled to expose him. ;P

                      You've just entered a battle of he said, she said though. And neither side is coming out particularly well right now. As a neutral bystander, I'm asking you if it's worth pursuing a petty vendetta, or actually being able to take the moral high ground here. The view's a hell of a lot better there.

                        Oh, I dunno. Some of the conversation still exists in a tangible, examinable form, assuming that one hasn't yet attracted the arbitrary and pious condemnation of Oakman.

                            This is about as far as it goes... A few more posts, and they'll be indented so little that you won't be able to tell which posts reply to which.

                            Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                                  No, but: While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow Till the mountains crumble into the plain Oh yes, we'll keep on trying Add one more line Oh, we'll keep on trying Yeah Just passing our time

                                    No, but: While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow Till the mountains crumble into the plain Oh yes, we'll keep on trying Add one more line Oh, we'll keep on trying Yeah Just passing our time

                                      Bullshit Chris, and you know it. If you are going to be partisan at least have the balls to admit it. If you dont, I will feel justified in posting anything, anywhere, provided it contains a blend of GW and any other topic and doesnt directly discuss the effects of CO2, but the intent of the lying scientists behind it. :)

                                      Anyone else see the humor in someone declaring an article about people not listening to facts if they don't fit their preferred set of facts, is about his preferred set of facts? I'd have to guess if you could find similar articles where sociological/psychological/pretty much any actual science, which then uses climate change as one of many examples of detailing what appears to happen, no one would care. Unlike the vast majority of what you've posted this was actually somewhat interesting, and I plan on bludgeoning a few people I know with it so they'll stop acting like pricks just because they've declared themselves right and believe have the duty to educate the ignorant masses. Worst part is I generally agree with their views, but they're just such dicks about it I've watched them actively turn people off of their own views. They remind me of you. If you haven't, read the article, it's interesting and you may benefit from their discussion of the people discussing the whole Sadam was behind 9/11 bit.

                                          So whenever you have nothing to say, you quote Rabbie Burns? How clever! I bet many folks are impressed by your knowledge of second-rank poets. :rolleyes:
