I’m really bad at proof reading my own comments: In case anyone didn’t know what I meant here it is again:
I had similar responses to both this blog and Romm’s–I read a few articles and decided neither was worth reading. I’m back only because of the Stoat post. All of this just convinces me that my original response was the correct choice.
Romm is full of counter productive vitriol. His attacks and miss-reading of plain English is inexcusable.
This blog has different problems–some of the arguments you made in the few posts I read struck me as so wrong headed that I had no reason to ever look again. Your ridiculous defense of someone so unethical and harmful as Morano comes to mind first (does Limbaugh add to the political debate?) but there were others.
Now half of what you are focusing on insignificant garbage. Your defense would have much stronger if it was a quarter as long. Check your ego before you write.
Also I do agree with WC, that in this case you do come out looking much better then Romm–but I’m still only going to read your blog very rarely.

Keith-

I’ve set up a thread to allow a focused approach to my debunking;-)

Let’s see if Romm et al. can put up when challenged to discuss ideas and arguments.

Connolly took the sharp scalpel to Romm’s comment at stoat. Too many people excuse Romm’s excesses because they appreciate his passion.

Kloor, when you pick a fight don’t whine when you get one.
