Hey Danny. I've got a larger post brewing about all the detail of this stuff, but just a quick point: you may recall, when you jokingly suggested Michael Mann should be beaten with his own hockey stick, I got pretty upset. You said I'd had a humour fail. I still have a humour fail when it comes to this subject. I didn't - and don't - think that even joking about using violence is tolerable in online discussions. Or rather, the internet's a broad church - but I don't want to take part in such discussions, and its certainly not a good way to discuss scientific issues. I've seen similar on other blogs - a recent example when someone linked to a Lindzen paper that claimed the only evidence for the greenhouse effect came from computer models. I can quite see why the commenter got exasperated, but that never justifies threatening people. Even if it's meant in jest, it can come across as bullying. So I'm not sure why you saw that and thought of me? Maybe I've done something similar in a fit of rage one time? Don't remember doing so, but do please correct me.

Right, I'll get back to my bovine soma-work in the Matrix then. It's good to know there's some clear-sighted Neos out there fighting the good fight.
