Tallbloke to take to torts

For those who do not wish to boost Greg Laden’s already impressive ego by looking at his blog, here are what seem to be his final words on the matter (for now).
The substance of his rant appears to be that Tallbloke is a Brit and Laden doesn’t like us Brits very much. I have summoned every sinew of my stiff upper lip, and am pleased to report that I have endured the great sadness of his poor opinion without too much trauma.

If Tattersall knowingly received stolen goods, and it seems he did (essentially) and rather than reporting that to the authorities, passed those goods on, he would be a criminal in US law. I consider him, therefore, to have likely committed a crime. Others are more than welcome to disagree. We are awaiting news of charges being filed.
Since this happened in Britain, where apparently all the laws are the exact opposite of what we have in the US, perhaps he is a hero there. Perhaps that is why we had a Revolution and kicked Limey butt over two centuries ago, and perhaps it is why we’ve had to bail the British out of trouble in major wars twice.
Or, perhaps the sociopathic hoards of rat-people currently leaving the sinking ship of climate change denialism are not representative of the rest of the British people. Anyone out there from the UK who is not an insane felon-sympathizing upstanding science-respecting citizen want to chime in and defend your people?
It says something about Global Warming Denialists that the only response they can muster to me expressing this opinion … that Tattersall did something very very wrong and that it was the end point of a series of crimes committed by outside hackers (we do essentially know this to be true) … is to a) threaten to sue me b) tell me about all the other people who are going to sue me c) tell me about all the lawyers they are talking to who say I can easily be sued d) send me obnoxious and harassing notes every ten minutes around the clock as comments on my blog or as emails and e) send the occasional threat of physical harm, then we know something about them. And the picture this paints is not pretty.
The people who are doing this are also criminals, or at least, bullies, who have nothing useful to contribute to the problems we as a civilization have to deal with. Harassment and threats of physical violence are not OK.
I blame the press for giving enough credibility to these miscreants and misfits that they maintain the belief that they have even an iota of legitimacy. They don’t.
There is an upside, however. Every several minutes I get anywhere form 50 to about 500 words of invective yammering from one or another internet bully, and I consider every one of them to be a criminal in their own sick little way, which I put in a holding bin where they will never be seen on my blog. That’s a lot of “man” hours being spent by global warming denialists, criminals … against the environment and against humanity and against the next generation of people .. every one in my view, for nothing.
And you know exactly who you are, because you are the ones writing the emails and the blog comments.
Keep it coming. The more of this you do, the more distracted you will be, and the less damage you can do in your other activities, which I assume include a certain amount of other criminal, felonious acts of unspecified nature as well.

Gettum Tallbloke.

On the topic of who actually leaked the information, … speculation of course !
NB: If you consider the normal security standards that most organisations of this size would deploy
To copy all the emails, you would need access to the actual file server where the mail archives are stored, or the backup server. This file server would usually only be accessible by the IT staff at administrator level, so you would need appropriate permissions. Further, to FTP the data off to an external server/PC via the net would not be possible since there would be firewall rules in place to prevent FTP, except to allowed internal destinations for backup purpose, etc. Also, to copy directly off via the net would require much time due to the physical size of the information (We are probably talking 100’s Gigabytes +). You would therefore risk being caught having a session open for many days and leave an easy trail for police.
What seems more logical would be that someone within the university with access copied the data to a tape or other backup medium and simply walked away.
Whilst this is my pure speculation, I cannot imagine how you could do this any other way and get away with it.
So why would they raid Tallbloke ?
Of course, they figured the real culprit possibly had direct contact with him, which means they have no IP address or other info from server logs, further implying an inside job.
So my point here is that if you have any common sense and think about the situation just a tad, then you know that Tallbloke is not likely the thief.

Contribution sent. Good luck, Roger.

If enough of us donate, and use the excess funds plus the pro bono work I think we should expand the Law suits to get to the real truth about climate/commies Government collusion. Maybe the publicity will get some attention about the climate fraud.
