This is just another tact in your incessant, unsubstantiated and contradictory climate change crusade. The only thing of interest here is the observation that you do not care a rats ass that the majority of us wish you would stop posting your nonsense on climate change. Unlike you, the rest of us make a point of not using the Soapbox like a cat uses a sand box. And yes, you can finally and correctly consider this last statement as an attack, long overdue because you refuse to be considerate of other CP members who use this forum.

Correct me if I am wrong, but according to you, does that not constitute as an attack on a CP member - something you have recently been prone to complaining about?

Unless you can demonstrate otherwise, there is link to report and there is no support for your claim. Moreover, until you can demonstrate otherwise, it seems clear you know very little about science and the little you do reveal is no tantamount to phrenology.

I have repeatedly asked you to support your claims and each time you have been unable to do so. Here is another such case. Based on what little information you provided, there is no apparent relationship between the small growth in the economy and global warming. So where are the facts that support global warming is good for growth? Why do you persist is making unsubstantiated claims? This begs the question, what is your purpose here? To me, your behavior here is the very definition of trolling?

If that is your assessment of our exchange then you have completely missed the point of it.

Why would I write an add-in that automatically types random letters after spending decades perfecting that coding style? I feel no compulsion to make myself more redundant than I already am.

Many sharks are on the endangered specifies list because parts of them are considered a delicacy by a certain other species. If I recall correctly, the large majority of sharks populations have suffered significant declines. So permit me to take a wee bit of liberty to make a few small changes to your post: Do humans complain about Monday? NO. They're up early, biting stuff, chasing sh*t, and being scary - reminding every thing they're a f*cking human.

It all depends on what one is fishing for. Given John subsequently said he is not fishing, we must ponder further as to the meaning and significance of such bravado.

I may be wrong but it sounds like John is fishing.

Intellisense is getting so good at anticipating what I need that I feel so ... predictable! So while my productivity has increased, my ego is taking a dive.

Yes, and here is such an example.

Now you need to support (i.e. offer an explanation) of why you considered my posts are an attack. Do not leave it to the readers imagination to deduce what and how you think, otherwise there is the real possibility of backfire and you will come across as the person doing the actual attacking.

So you are attempting to make light of sexually abused children by the church for the sole purpose of getting a few votes! Give your moral compass a good shake.

Yesterday, you claimed I was attacking members of this group. So when I asked you to provide examples, they were supposed to be examples of me from the past, not you in the present.

Come on Matt. Use some common sense! What is the value in posting this article in the SB? The SB does not need filler and we are all aware you read the DM. Why don't you choose topics where you can start with a thoughtful and informative post and then prompt us to respond in kind. I had to look carefully at today's DM (it is such a rag of a news source) but finally found one article that is worthy of our discussion: Assange's 'life is in "serious danger" if not allowed to leave embassy | Daily Mail Online[^] How about commenting on a person we owe so much to and yet who is forced to endure a travesty of justice? Now that would make for meaningful contribution and discussion in the SB!

If you explain how and show that I have personally attacked you then I will apologize and not make that mistake again. Now then, the context of our current email exchange is as follows. Over the past 8-10 months, you have made quite a few contentious, yet largely unsubstantiated, claims on various topics. When I have challenged you, you cannot support your claims. For example, you have the dubious reputation of being the only CP member to regularly post about global warming to the point where I very recently explained (and cited examples of what you do to illustrate my point) that that your behavior in this matter constitutes trolling and grinding an axe. Subsequently, but not coincidentally, you have begun to claim that I am trolling. Then, to up the ante, you also claim I have done nothing but attack members of this group. As I have regularly said to you, if you are going to claim something then be prepared to support that claim. Here is an excellent opportunity for you. You claim that trolling is "a person who starts a quarrel". You also wrote I have done nothing but attack members of this group. Please review any of my email exchanges and show where I routinely engage in such behavior. Bare in mind your own 'colorful' behavior and history at CP so as to avoid being the 'pot that calls the kettle black'. Finally, you started this thread with the following statement:

There is no other way to interpret this other than you are making a sweeping generalization which necessarily cannot be true, which reflects nothing more than a mean spirited opinion, and which, in my opinion, violates the spirit of the SB. As I suggested earlier in this thread, perhaps you should be less critical of others and take care of you own house first.

I'll respond to this later today...

Now it is your turn. What am I doing that constitutes trolling, especially light of the subject topic you chose to post about?

Some would argue that the picture you paint of yourself and which leads others to refer to you as 'fatboy' suggests you should be less critical of others and take care of you own house first. As for trolling, that would only be true if you were telling the truth and I was telling a lie. Moreover, if you are going to be (unfairly) critical of others then why should you expect anything less in return?
