Good take on Romm. He has been a great gift to skeptics for a long time.
Reasonable people see his anger and boorishness for what it is- the tactic of someone with a losing hand.
His treatment of Revkin and Curry, and now his Sir Robin impersonation, only underscores his role:
Hostile evidence of the validty of skeptics.

James,

Your last statement is in error. He does have supportable science. He just misuses it. His intelligent readers–the ones who understand this–agree with his ends, not his means. The question I keep asking myself: when will they begin to question if his means are working.

Joe Romm’s site is a good example of the kinds of websites that intelligent readers avoid. He points the reader to his own articles to support his statements. He refuses to post ideas that don’t support his beliefs while allowing his few trolls to post childish rants continuously.

If he had supportable science, he would not need to protect himself with censorship.

Tim, you told the Times that you spend 6 hours blogging a day, huh? How many peer-reviewed publications do you have? Google Scholar says about a half dozen in the past 10 years. That is almost one every 2 years!! Wow,that is good work if you can get it.

So Keith when are you going to call Lambert to account for defrauding the UNSW by spending all his time blogging and bullying?

So when are you going to call Pielke to account for his bullying behaviour? Oh right, never.

Marlowe,

What are you, Bill Maher, with the new rules? Look, obviously, I’m not just a casual observer here.

Sorry, he gets plenty of wet kisses from those that matter in the media. It matters not a whit what I write, in comparison. Sometimes, though, it’s the principle that matters.

Also, bullies need to be called on their behavior, if only to hold them accountable.

Romm badly overreached when he wrote a post on me chockful of obvious falshoods–so obvious he had no choice but to delete them. Then shortly after that he got hit with the McCarthy posts by TBI. I kinda felt like he was behaving himself for a while after that. Looks like he’s regressing lately.

Sorry if my posts on him alienate you and others. Perhaps you can just skip over them in the future. Can’t promise you when or how often I’ll scratch that persistent Romm itch.

I’m starting to think you’re more than a little obsessed with Joe….and the echo chamber between you, RPJr and the Breakthrough folks is starting to appear rather clique-ish. Two new rules: no linking to RPJr or BI and no discussion of he-who-shall-not-be named for the first 10 days of every month.

Steve Bloom’s tiresome ranting about Kloor is a broken record

You’ve asked that last question before and it’s been answered. Your tiresome ranting about Romm is a broken record, Keith.
