On Monday, I wrote a very personal piece that describes my personal trials and tribulations over the last 18 months. It was very well received and I had hundreds of comments of support. I sincerely thank everyone who left a comment of support and understanding. Out of 428 comments, almost every comment was this way, almost, save one. Even the normally irascible “Eli Rabbet” provided a thoughtful comment of support.
That one comment (which was never published due to multiple policy violations) is presented below for your amusement, along with a follow up comment.
Of course, the person writing it was a coward, hiding behind a fake name, a fake email, and an IP address on a proxy server. But the m.o. and the content is a dead giveaway, because who else writes high pressure craziness like this hoping to convince somebody you are right by hurling insults? There’s only one person I know of.
I recall Einsteins definition of insanity:
So here is the comment I got on the personal thread Monday:

Quick, Magic Gais Watts, what’s the name of the law of thermodynamics for solving temperature, and how long was it before your dumb ass discovered ”Green House Gas Effect” is nothing but the compression warming removed from standard gas equations?
LoL Watt a f***g HicK.
I guess if you can steer an entire scientific movement into the trash with the likes of that thermo-billy Eschenbach, you can wreck a woman’s life.
GO FIGURE.
You’re a fraud.
You’re a fake atmospheric chemist.
You’re not even skeptical about a story so simple it involves leaving compression out of the mathematics of atmospheric temperature then claiming MAGIC makes the sky hot.
You’re a f***n’ bum. You never thought or cared about anything
but your self. – and the way you’ve acted, you deserve all the dismissal by those who know you WELL, you get.
You’re a f****g HaCK.
You’re the back door man
for a pseudo science movement so stupid it has you claiming that immersion of a fire warmed rock into frigid fluids,
makes it warmer than when there WAS no bath of frigid fluids,
and the full light of that fire assured maximum surface energy density for the distance.
Your fans and friends are pretty much the K-Mart of Signts and you’re as disgusting as you feel. When you know you’ve been being bad, you can always get ”your public” to run it’s tongue up and down the crack of your sweaty, stupid a*&, and get yourself some kook-kiks.
Typically you’re another Repugnican, and somewhere is a woman who spent years watching you over-eat and act like a vindictive little dilettante.
You’ve been at the HELM – the PUBLIC HELM of the BIGGEST MOWING DOWN of SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY in COMMUNICATIONS in the RECENT HISTORY.
Too STUPID to know MAGIC GAS EFFECT is nothing more than REMOVAL of COMPRESSION from ATMOSPHERIC MECHANICS
Oh, but wait, there’s more!

If WATTS HADN’T TRIED TO TELL THE WORLD THERE IS A GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECT HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO HAVE
OTHER FAILED PHYSICISTS
APOLOGIZING FOR HIS/THEIR IGNORANT, ANTI-SCIENTIFIC DRIVEL
AND THEIR BOOKS WOULD SELL.
A BUNCH of F*KG HICKS.
ANTI SCIENTIFIC f*kng HICKS who CAN’T PROPERLY READ & WRITE
the LAW of THERMODYNAMICS
that SOLVES FOR TEMPERATURE of GAS.
*THAT SOLVES TEMPERATURE of GAS*
THAT solves TEMPERATURE of the SIMPLEST PHASE of f*kng MATTER known to MAN.
WATTS IS THE ANTI SCIENCE HICK WHO SET THAT THERMO-BILLY ESCHENBACH ONTO THE WORLD’S SCIENTIFIC SCENE TO LIBEL, INSULT and LIE to REAL SCIENTISTS who TOLD YOU ALL
who TOLD YOU ALL –
THERE IS NO SUCH THING as a GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECT WARMING.
GREEN HOUSE GASES are the COOLING FLUIDS of the PLANETARY SYSTEM.
YOU can not WARM a ROCK with a FIRE in VACUUM
then WARM it through IMMERSION in a SHALLOW FIELD of FRIGID FLUIDS you HICK – that’s YOU
WATTS.
That’s YOU STEELE.
YOU CAN NOT RAISE SURFACE ENERGY DENSITY you IGNORANT HICKS,
THROUGH IMMERSION of a LIGHT WARMED OBJECT
into a LIGHT BLOCKING FRIGID BATH of TURBULENT FLUIDS
and YOUR LEGACY
is BRANDED WITH THE FACT YOU CLAIMED YOU THINK THAT CAN HAPPEN.
GREEN HOUSE GAS
GARBAGE
is NOTHING BUT
THE STRIPPING OF COMPRESSION MATHEMATICS
from STANDARD GAS EQUATIONS

Gosh, I didn’t realize I’m in the same league with Mann, Hansen, and Trenberth. With my elevated status, it seems critical mass has been reached again.

Let me take a guess here.
Some form of paranoid schizophrenia?
It may be easier to laugh at this kind of stuff now, but it must be pretty awful to see when it first comes in over the transom.
My best wishes to Anthony, and I hope your world continues to brighten up.
This site and Axthony are amazing. Reading the diatribe, I can only assume the writer is calling out for help. Perhaps I am being overly considerate, but while I have a few rants hidden away in my drafts folders, I was taught a long time ago to put them aside for a day or two before sending. Most never leave the drafts folder although one or two have when my meds were off. Maybe that is what happened here – benefit of the doubt. One bad post can taint a life. But I do believe we have seen this person posting his ideas before without the vitriol.
This person must be very hurt and angry … and inconsiderate given the difficult time A has gone through.
Maybe publishing this will help this individual deal with his isolation and think about pausing before hitting send – not that we all haven’t done it.
Not being an apologist, just sad that this kind of thing has to happen as it hurts everyone and the discussion.
Good wishes and good health to all.
To music:
I was gonna remember thermodynamics, until I got High,
I was gonna throw some insults, then I got High.
Can’t even type coherently and I know why,
Because I got High,
Because I got High,
Because I got High
definitely the same person in both e-mails.
Syntax is similar
Word hybridization is similar
Asterisking style of profanity is similar (Once heard that “the person that needs to use profanity most is the person with the least quality education”)
Insult verbiage is identical (probably a lexicographer with a 3 page tome)
Both contained apparent Half Formed Sentences indicating a highly scattered thought process is inherent and coherent thoughts almost impossible.
Tis likely that he was just wound so tight that the Rubber Band between his ears simply snapped and he is trying to make sense of the complex reverberation resonating inside his vacuous cranium. He is fortunate though that the snapping of the latex in that confined space didn’t totally destroy his brain cell.
Best cussing I ever heard was from “The Brother’s O’Toole”. John Astin spent 3 or 4 minutes ripping the good people of Molybdenum up one side and down the other. Without a single word needing to be bleeped.
Gotta find out if it is on Netflix, I need to watch it again.
Is this the scene?
Michael O’Toole: I have, in my time, visited three political conventions, four sessions of congress, and two homes for the criminally insane. I have known army generals, steam doctors, vegetarians, prohibitionists, and a female suffragette. But never, even in an Orangeman’s Day parade, have I seen such pure and stainless brainlessness as I now behold in you. The Almighty, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, has given the worm enough sense to turn with, and the barnacle can grasp whatever happens to be standing by. But you are equipped with a mental capacity smaller than you were born with. Here we are, benighted in the middle of a nowhere named Molly-Be-Damn – a dreary little rookery, Timothy, a squalid sty, a festering pustule on the face of the western slope. Bless the town and bless the people! Look at them – the rabble of this cantankerous community! Knaves and fools, louts and lardheads, the least of all God’s creatures, without enough push to pick the fleas off each other, abiding in putrefaction and inertia, curled up comfy in it like hogs in a mud hole! And while I, of all people, fret and sweat for a way to pull these Simple Simons out of the bog, you stand around making flatulent noises for the titillation of the vulgar mob. And while he’s bubbling himself, what are you doing, you pusillanimous pack of popcorn pickers? You clattered clutch of clucks? The town dilapidating around you, coasting downhill in a handcart to Hell while you stand about gaping for flies and going patty-cake with your hands!
Mayor: There now! Now just one minute you!
Michael O’Toole: All right, all right, all right! Fine! Keep it, and treasure it the way it is! For when all this trash has collapsed into one pile, and the howling wilderness has claimed its own again, I want you hicks to be happy, belching and spitting, laughing and singing, swinging from tree to tree, with your friend Soapy Sam here, the Uriah Heep of the hookworm belt, standing around below waiting to steal anything that falls to the ground. If a nut should drop and fall – leave it lying there. It’s probably my little brother Timothy.
Being a Dublin North guy, almost every sentence contains expletives 😀

No; this seems to be evidence of psychosis, as was mentioned in the comment above concerning paranoid schizophrenia. I’d say that at least a welfare check on this individual would be prudent.
Only if the ‘welfare check’ included an attitude adjustment. Mr. Cotton needs to get a clue, with an ugly stick, about proper conversational deportment… Then his meds need to be adjusted.
Actually I don’t think it’s Doug Cotton, but a thought clone of his viewpoint.
I think I know who this is,but can’t remember the name he use. He is a member of the “Slaying the Sky dragon” school of thought?
4 marks
As much as I detest what that sick person posted to Anthony, what I am seeing here is nearly as bad.
Disgusted all around.
Pamela, you do not get to dole out points. Your hubris is appalling.
Like schoolchildren.
Old dough lol, again reminds me of that one discus poster, was going at both sides, alarmist and objective, with the same thermoNonsense
It is clear that he/she needs an adjustment in their medication type and dosage. Hope their doctor is on top of this.
It’s interesting. Blank out the tell-tale elements and you can alter the rants into CAGW rants with very small changes in content. One could conclude that what might seem to be holders of extremely opposed views have a great deal in common psychologically – or maybe “diagnostically.”
This guy (I am pretty sure of who it is, but won’t give him even a bit of promotion) is rather pathetic. This is a new point in his downward spiral. Fortunately if it who I think it is, he is far, far away. I hope he receives the mental health treatments he desperately needs.
Anthony,
Keep up your journey. Thanks for the humorous interlude.
If brain eating amoebas could talk, it would sound a little something like…
[snip – a bit over the top -mod]
Apologies…I’ll try to tome it down a little
tome it down a little, oxymoron alert :p
Way longer-but more polite?
I like that “tome it down a little” 😀
Wow, this guy’s got some seriously unresolved childhood issues!
and way too much time on his hands
I come to this site to be educated/enlightened, if at any time I need a “safe space” away from the scary grown up world of ideas presented here, all I need to do is click my mouse.
I mean, who blames the director of a horror movie for their nightmares ?
Grow up.
About the best that I was able to glean from that chaff, was the acknowledgement that Anthony and Willis (as well as other contributors) have, through their own efforts through this website – shattered the illusions of the integrity of the CAGW cabal! (Yes, that was a Rush/Neil Peart quotation I used right there…)
As for the rest of the content of those two posts? Straight jacket, anyone???? Ranting lunatic, much?
regards,
MCR
It’s odd isn’t it.
A decent vocabulary but can’t string a coherent sentence together.
Oh I know EXACTLY who this is. None of the guesses upthread are correct, not even close.
He’s a nasty piece of work who manages to slide cleverly disguised comments into threads with links to his many baloney claims. The mods get the vast majority of them, but every once in a while he sneaks one through. I take a certain amount of pleasure in notifying the mods by posting the guy’s initials with the word “Alert” after them. Post usually gone shortly after that.
I’ve debated this guy on other blogs and he’s worse than the alarmists when it comes to discussing science and GHE. Sad as his rant is, his frustration and anger clearly show through. He truly believes his own drivel, and simply cannot fathom why no one from either side of the debate thinks he is anything but a complete cook.
Kooks?
Bobby Flay never wrote anything like that.
“… cook. ” = kook?
yeah, kook.
still on heavy duty pain meds from surgery, sorry. I kept looking at it knowing that it was wrong and couldn’t figure out why. Back to bed for me….
Those who know the history of the word know it was originally spelled “cook.” Pronounced “kook.” Still works.
Probably confused by the other kook … Cook .
My mum sure was a helluva kook!
While it isn’t John Cook; some of the stuff Cook has written gives a interesting light to your phrase “a complete cook”
Cooking the books ?
An accountant doing that would be in serious trouble.
Thanks for a laugh. Of course, this cook is no Cook or Cokton.
davidmhoffer —
A complete cook? One guesses “complete cook” means the same as “totally fried”. I did see this phrase used somewhere long long ago — used about an electronics device that was burned out — beyond repair. It was a “complete cook”. You are referencing our man’s brain — his brain is a complete cook.
Eugene WR Gallun
How could you possibly debate this guy? You can’t reason with crazy!
I’m a bit confused after reading this thread. Is there a greenhouse effect or not? Maybe I’m confusing what I read here about CO2 not warming anything and the greenhouse effect. Can somebody straighten me out?
Thank ya!
There is most definitely a GHE. The ranter is a nutty sky dragon. But because of uncertainties in feedbacks (especially water vapor and clouds), the GHE magnitude is uncertain. All the recent observational energy budget studies say the effective sensitivity is about 1.5-1.8, about half of what the IPCC and the CMIP5 climate models say. In which case there is nothing to be alarmed about.
Thanks ristvan, that helps.
[Homer voice] Mmmmmmm… nutty sky dragon….
“K-Mart of Signts” – don’t know why but that’s great! Is it an insult? Who cares.
“Signals Intelligence” according to this:
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/SIGNT
For some reason, I don’t think that’s what he means…
I thought that was SIGINT. No?
[SIGINT in milspeak is Signals Intelligence. Whether SIGINT is intercepted properly, interpreted properly, and analyzed properly and in a intelligent and timely manner is always open to debate. .mod]
Honestly the posters reveal a rather juvenile mind set. When I used to moderate a website the most venomous posters usually fell between the ages of 10 to 17. Thats the age range when they still believe that shock value trumps actual conversation and information exchange. Usually it comes as a cry for attention… look at me look at me. Now you can choose to reward this behavior and reply or you can ignore it. The latter works better. If you do choose to reply keep in mind you may just be battling a child. Even if they aren’t a child, when they act like one treat them accordingly.
…by any chance is this person allergic to MSG? (Monosodium glutamate)
A google search on “Magic gas effect” (with quotes) is enlightening.
Ah, your good friend Douglas J. Cotton. The title says it all ! 🙂
When I read the first few lines, I thought it would be your personal stalker, Hot Sue from Down Under, but no, it’s the inventor of the “heat creep process”. Speaking of “creeps”, this one really belongs in the Looney bin.
What I continually wonder is: how do some people obtain, or retain, the resources that let them do what they do? (given the apparent/obvious limitations that they are burdened with).
Johan, until your comment, I was beginning to wonder if anyone reads titles anymore.
I dismissed the idea of it being sou immediately. It’s not her style. I would not have thought it was Doug Cottons either. He rants but I have never heard him rant like this
Tonyb
Actually I don’t think it’s Doug Cotton, but a thought clone of his viewpoint.
Richard Vara? Or is that just a sock puppet for someone else?
Very similar language and style in this post…
http://www.drroyspencer.com/2013/09/the-global-warming-they-fear-is-not-based-upon-physical-first-principles/#comment-90075
Yep that’s him (under another fake name).
And what appears to be the same person under a different name…
https://climateofsophistry.com/2013/06/16/another-greenhouse-idiot/#comment-2674
Yep, that’s him.
Good find Gregory! It does fit in with his disjointed style of writing I have read before.
Paging Dr Tourette. Your patient has arrived in reception
+10
Anthony, I agree with EternalOptimist here. My initial thought was bipolar but I think Tourette fits better.
This person has a serious disorder.
Poorly controlled anger, incoherent rambling, loss of focus, no recognition of obvious facts, loss of connection with reality. Everyday Warmist!
D. C.
Just your basic kook.
Joe Mendiola would take =============> him in 3.
These types of outbursts (for which there is a name: “Intermittent Explosive Disorder”) used to bother me some but anymore I consider them humorous (in a dark way) because they are obviously from a person that has a seriously malfunctioning neurological system and deserve pity without any return action. So unless they are physically nearby, in which case it is best to quickly leave the area if possible, the correct action is to unemotionally ignore what is obviously an unimportant psychological rant that has no basis for rational discussion.
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/intermittent-explosive-disorder/basics/definition/con-20024309
Anthony, sometimes it’s more important to know who your friends are NOT!
Wow . Reminds me of a eKo neighbor who when I spoke at our local Intermountain Rural Electric Association annual meeting here lauding the virtues of CO2 and pointing out that all the woodlands around us giving us the name Woodland Park are mainly made of CO2 married to H2O in equal molar amounts . He challenged me to meet him by the nearby Red Rocks formation to teach me science with his fists .
The guy’s as inarticulate as a suicide bomber .
It’s the gap between the computation of radiative balance for a sphere for any arbitrary spectra plus the constraint imposed by the divergence theorem , and planetary surface temperatures which drives me to conclude that gravity is the force which must be included in the balance but somehow is excluded from the nearly universal paradigm . Equations exist for gravity ; none so far as I have ever seen for a spectral GHG explanation .
The gravity on Venus is a bit less than that on Earth. Venus is much hotter because its atmosphere is much denser. Here’s an explanation. You can’t ignore gravity but it’s only one thing.
There have been equations but most physicists ignored them because there were serious theoretical objections. It wasn’t until the advent of computer modeling that CO2 as an important GHG really took off. link
I scrolled down the whole https://www.aip.org/history/climate/co2.htm and didn’t see an equation anywhere .
WRT : Heller’s piece , I think the effect of gravity is often discussed as “lapse rate” or similar measures . But the elementary force in which the equations must be written is gravity .
I have put off working thru the equations I have seen presented until I can express them in my 4th.CoSy ( Finally available : CoSy on a stick )
Anybody in the nbd , ie : along the Front Range , make it to this year’s CoSy Midsummer Party for some interesting conversation :
http://cosy.com/y16/CoSyMSMM2016printInvite.jpg
It’s true. There are no equations but they are referred to. Here’s an example.
For the equations Callendar used see “Joel O’Bryan says: November 14, 2014 at 7:00 am” at this post.
So, equations exist … for what they are worth.
Oh man, that’s fantastic. Thanks for sharing Anthony. Can’t imagine having to deal with crap like that on a recurring basis. Sheesh!
rip
thread winner!
way too many pain meds, that was meant for down thread.
That’s why I give guys like Anthony props for having the courage to be out front and take all those slings and arrows.
