People send me stuff…
Readers may recall back on May 13th of this year I posted about a change in policy related to hate mail and hateful comments that get sent our way in:
Hump day hilarity: WUWT’s new policy on hate mail – your hate mail will be published
Since then, it seems the hate mail has dialed back a bit, probably because the sort of people that hurl this dreck are cowards who don’t put their name behind their words, sort of like “Sou” at “hotwhopper”, (aka Miriam O’Brien) who prefers daily denigration from the comfort of her imagined anonymity. This person is no different, but at least he/she says it’s a fake name.
Name: Shol Vadi
Email: shol.vadi@gmail.com
Message: Do you know what astounds me the most about this world?? The fact that there is a dedicated and extremely sophisticated group of people which is out there just to obfuscate science. They are full time into it! And they are even successful in misleading people. How do you sleep at night knowing that you are abetting in such a farce crime?
Anyways, I don’t have much about denier mentality. Do you get sleep at night?
But who cares. Deniers are loosing heavily. For decades you have succeeded, but the downfall was inevitable.
Leave the science to the scientist, will you?
Faux Name

It seems this “faux” person is from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. It seems English isn’t their primary language, or they are simply poorly educated. It is hard to tell from the broken writing.
You know what astounds me in this world? That there are people with so little moral character that they have to hurl insults about scientific integrity from behind faux names.
As usual not one example of “obfuscated science” how very lefty of them.
You conspiracy theorist you! * wink*
I am no psychologist but I think that Shol Vadi is sending this to Anthony not so much as to shame Anthony but rather to be able to show the email to his/her True Believer fellow travelers so as to establish his/her credentials as a believer and activist in the “cause”.
It seems similar to a personalized Colorado license plate that I saw that read “IHTFC”. Most people personalize their plates with some meaningful message that is understandable to the viewer. This incomprehensible plate must give the owner some satisfaction, but what? His friends would certainly ask what it means. I surmised that it is a hate message in plain sight directed at law enforcement, which his friends would likely applaud. if that is not the case, if asked by a police officer what it means, he had better have ready a reasonable alternate meaning.
It seems that many hate messages are mainly self gratification for the sender. If “Shol Vadi” persists, he/she simply becomes a stalker.
Donation made. Sorry, but on US$30, that’s all I can afford right now. Keep up the good work Anthony.
Is this really “hate mail”.
It is whining, complaining and pathetic; but hateful?
Being old, closing in on 65, and cynical, I no longer care about hate mail or avoiding politically incorrect
statements to maintain harmony in the workplace. I don’t go out of my way to be rude, or to hurt peoples’ feelings, but my attitude is, if others could risk their lives to defend our country, I should have at least the courage to post my own name and stand up for my beliefs.
Really frothing, isn’t s/he?
There are many people out there who have “gotten religion” about false environmental claims who make wild assertions that they have no clue about.
