global warming again

However a denier is one that denys - therefore if you deny something is happening then you are a denier, QED

if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and leaves duck poo everwhere, then its a duck ! and there is no point in calling it a beautiful swan to avoid hurting its feelings because at the end of the day it is still a duck.

Seems to me that if people can't have a civilized discussion about this sort of thing there is no hope of taking things any further.

Just an observation

Chris that is certainly the truest comment in this whole thread.

Cheers

Why are my posts being deleted when the original post I objected to is just changed to a milder insult?

 

[Kalimna]

Hmmm, something similar happened to my posts, and as far as I could see, they werent inflammatory. Perhaps a little off topic, but still, and no explanation...

Adam, the Mod removed all mention/reference of an inflammatory term, hence the reason mine was removed too.

Cheers

Which, by happy circumstance, reminds me of the celebrated Dr Boli's noninflammatory article on 'The Duck.'

Mike - thanks for the explanation. I can understand perhaps why that decision was taken, but I think it's a bit of a shame, as it means an intelligent, educated discussion is extremely difficult.

There is a considerable difference between an inflammatory term and a term used in an inflammatory way. Given the reason for post removal, it would necessarily be impossible to discuss such things as Schindlers List or mid 20thcentury european politics. However, I shall not grumble.

Cheers,

Hi! First poster!

Check out this article for some very important reading!

That's SHOCKING!

According to the stolen information:

* mathematicians use mathematical tricks

* some climate researchers believe in climate change, and argue their case

* not all data points the same way (but there is a massive preponderance)

If that's the best the skeptics could do with 10 years of nicked email to cherry pick, it's a little thin.

Sorry folks, it's padlock time. One person repeatedly keeps referring to a term that was made clear earlier was not welcome here, especially out of context. That particular term was deleted / edited which for most is satisfactory, but obviously for some it's not enough.
