Hi There, this is Jaymez I have just posted the following at Jo Nova’s blog:
Well done people. I am please to say that you have all proved me right.
There are many hundreds of us who value the work Jo does on this blog and only need to be asked when she is short of funds to keep up her great work.
What you have done, and by what I hope others will continue to do, as there is no reason to stop just because my limit of matching contributions has been reached, is ensure Jo can work for the next few months without financial stress. You have confirmed my faith in human goodness and I know you have re-inspired Jo Nova.
Today I cheerfully transferred $5,000 to Jo Nova’s bank account. I only wish I could afford to give more.
I trust Jo’s loyal readers and contributors can keep building her chocolate fund, and will rise to any future calls when she is in need.
Congratulations!
The minute Anthony posted the call, contributions started coming from the US and Canada and other parts of the world. True Allies with the Aussies – well done!
When I saw Jo’s call, I posted a note to Anthony in “tips”. Whether it was mine of someone else’s notification is immaterial, but ..
….I would really like to thanks all the WUWT climate realists for getting behind Jo, and helping her keep her blog going.
Congrats to all. 🙂
James, it always makes sense to remove an entire blog post instead of the two racist off topic comments that were causing the problem.
My judgement is based on hypocritical claims of free speech while my comments were censored. You cannot claim the racist comments are free speech but mine criticizing these are not.
Well, Poptech, at least you’re more upset by those who would deny and/or abuse “The Holocaust” than the ADL is.
But, again, I implore you to give Jo a break on how she handled things.
Sometimes when you try to put a fire what you want to save gets wet.

After totally disrupting a thread, you leave a comment that is gibberish.
Well done.
u.k. I am not surprised you are unable to follow conversation. Maybe learning how to read would be a start.

Give me a link to a different forum, so that we might continue the discussion.
I have the feeling our time on this forum/thread is just about finished.
That’s not the way it went down. Further comments were stopped at the same time for all. You are just miffed that you didn’t have the last word. I don’t know what you are worried about, as far as I could tell there were no supporters for the view which so upset you. But you have upset a lot of people by having a go at Jo and suggesting she in some way supports anti Semitic views.
James, please don’t pretend to know what the problem was. Two Holocaust denier comments were allowed to remain and multiple of mine in response were censored. Instead of removing the two offensive comments the thread was initially locked and now the whole thread was removed, instead of just deleting the offensive comments. That makes no sense.
All I know is those comments were allowed to stay based on an idiotic free speech argument, which is hypocritical because many of my comments were censored. If you don’t support offense remarks you remove them from your site, not dance around a hypocritical free speech policy where the comments attacking the offensive remarks are the ones being censored.
REPLY: gawd, you’re never happy. It makes perfect sense; Jo is exhausted, and it was easier to delete the thread than wade through all the comments. As I told you she was exhausted to tears and she’s pretty well fed up with the entire issue. People that want to criticize how people like Jo and I run our blogs should walk a mile in our shoes and experience the abuse we get daily from all sides and the stress the toll takes on us when we have people that threaten to do nasty things to us if we don’t change something, do it a certain way, etc. I had years in broadcasting and media, so I have a thicker skin, but there are even days when I feel like the abuse is too much.
The issue is OVER, so no further comments on this will be posted. Good day sir.
– Anthony
