If I thought for one minute the “above-par” were capable of making consistent, rational policy decisions, I would instantly become an elitist. But I shudder in horror to imagine how the so-called “intellectual elite” would have decided basic policy since, say 1960. Lord save us from such a horror show scenario!

“but you even lack enough feel for your own level of what you don’t know.”

That’s a very awkward phrase. I believe it says volumes about the poster.

REPLY: And yet you persist visiting here, tossing insults, and contributing nothing other than phantom originated snark. Try contributing something to “elevate” the level instead of your incessant complaining about how sub-par everyone else is. Is it any wonder you keep being banned at blogs?

We may not be perfect. we may not be geniuses, but at least we are honest and open, and we keep trying, and we keep learning.

Like it or not, perfect or not, in your view or of any others, we will continue.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933)

They’re rewriting history yet again.

REPLY: That’s not rewriting history by any definition. It’s simply spell check.

I thought you get a chuckle out of that. I’m a bird watcher, and I still cracked up when I read it. And now that you mention it, humor is the one thing (well, other than the truth of course) that’s sorely missing from most Alarmist sites.

Funny, Steve! ROFL!

What a hoot! I can only imagine how many learned a bit about an “off topic” matter just because of a salacious headline! It’s nice to also have a sense of humor on this blog.

Jack, you must have missed this post a while back at WCR.

Not only don’t worry about that sort, Rev, but consider it a mark of distinction. There is nothing more honorable than being “named” by a self-proclaimed foe or detractor, Nothing! It steals their thunder and saps their powers. Undercuts and exposes their false moral high ground. Reveals them for what they are: the true deniers.

Deniers of their data and methods, and therefore of their very discipline. Deniers of their very identities. This is the mark of fear. Fear of open and honest review. Fear of replication of method. Fear of Science, itself. Fear of the light of day.

It is no accident that you stand as tall as you stand today.

REPLY: Thanks Evan, but I’m only 5’11″ :-D

I’ve been around this planet a few times, but for the life of me I don’t think I’ve ever seen any SCIENTITS.

And I started out on the agw wagon also. The first time I really heard about it was with Rush Limbaugh, around 1992. I thought he was an Idiot then (and on some things concerning the environment, I still do). But he nailed it on agw, and because of listening to him I began to learn things on my own.

Things that the agw crowd avoid discussing at all cost.

I visit your site at least 6 times a day :P At least I get to see intelligent postings here, whereas at places like t*****o, all I see are denigration, demonization…. but I digress.

Keep up the great work!
