Waiting for Chris to delete the post below since it is about climate change denial

To which I can only respond: Gad bless you a'! consider now, Ye're unco muckle dautit; But ere the course o' life be through, It may be bitter sautit: An' I hae seen their coggie fou, That yet hae tarrow't at it. But or the day was done, I trow, The laggen they hae clautit Fu' clean that day.

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:

Explain how I'm being partisan, and you're not being a Troll?
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'. :)

You are still trying to have a rock fight with someone while he stands on the ground next to the well you are standing at the bottom of. It's his site, and his forum. He may attempt to be fair, he may be fair in his lights and not in yours, or he may be totally biased against guys who live in France, but whether he is fair or not, he calls the shots. Y'know I basically agree with much, most, of what you say about GW, but complaining about what he does with his private property is a waste of your time. A message board is not a democracy. Of course, my thoughts are worth every penny you paid for them.

And here I had just begun to hope you'd promised to go bother someone else. :sigh:

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.

I was afraid I was the only one.

Authority must be constantly tested. After all, this is why the US came into existance, no? :)

Not really. I also mentioned the gulf war, but clearly, since I am obsessed with AGW it attracted my attention. :) BTW I did read the article, and as I stated its nothing new to me. Let me leave you with one thought. If AGW alarmists have nothing to hide why did they try to keep their data, methods and code hidden?

Nope the U.S. came into existence because we wanted the "rights of an Englishman."

Depending on the relative power held by authority and tester the existence of the tester can be quite short and is determined totally by the forbearance of the authority. You (and I) have no rights, no privileges, except those granted by Chris, and what is granted can be taken away for a reason or on a whim. Anyone who doesn't like the way Chris runs CP can, of course, do exactly what the 13 colonies did and start up their own competing organization. Indeed, that's how CP came about, isn't it?

OK, I concede, it sounded more forceful than I'd intended.
