Treating their comments as worthy of discussion is a huge waste of time, and no one should fall into the trap of their (by now getting old) tactic of 'shutting off discussion' or 'destroying legitimate argument' or some such cr*p.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>DDanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709762632849004871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-49352334978007216782007-06-25T14:32:00.000-04:002007-06-25T14:32:00.000-04:00It sounds like projection to me, and a variant of ...It sounds like projection to me, and a variant of the Dano argument where he sez something like: <BR/><BR/>where is the evidence, papers, models, hypothesis, article, conversation, scribble on a napkin that CO2 won't raise temps?<BR/><BR/>The denialists and noise machine have just turned it around to their side, is all.

Once a denialist claim has been made and answered no further discussion. they will never run out of paid propaganda points to spam, especially since they simply repeat them no matter what you say.<BR/><BR/>It's very inefficient - denialists get much more slack than sincere people asking sincere questions get asking programming questions. Say, this was asked - search for it.<BR/><BR/>Some one has to come right out and say that there is a radical right war on science now, the denialist commenters are, by and large, not truth seekers but trolls, and if they aren't, they won't mind searching.<BR/><BR/>So I think that's a great post - when a person or group spends all their time projecting, if you read between the lines, what you are getting is a good look inside their minds.Marion Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493068399042656060noreply@blogger.com
