“Get
a grip loser!”
More
on “Scientific
debate” on Facebook

There
has been a very interesting thread
on Facebook as a result of Guy McPherson's excellent interview on the
Big Picture.
As
usual, John Irving, Larry Lazar from GWFOTD and others have been on
the attack against Guy and accusing everyone except for themselves.
John
was upset with the fact that I had “once again” mangled the neme
of his beloved Facebook page – misnaming it Climate Change Fact of
the Day.
I
apologise for this unforgiveable error!
He
is also upset that I reproduced our Facebook 'coversation'
(unedited), despite the fact that the comments are open for any one
of 7 billion people to view – or would have, if the editor of the
Facebook page not done the sensitible thing and removed the comments,
which ended with my being told “
Says
John Irving: “That blog post should be taken down
immediately …...If that blog post is not taken down Robin I will
start by reporting it to Facebook. Start.”
Seeing
John is so upset I will fulfill his wishes and remove
the item from the blog.
He
is still adamant that he is being personally abused – perhaps not
agreeing with his definite point-of-view or insisting that he answer
question amounts to abuse.
And
what are we to make of comments like, “Get a grip loser”?
I'd
better check that I've quoted that correctly lest I be accused of
misquoting.
None
of this matters in the end – whatever any of us think about the
matter, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
However,
a bit of civility in the meantime might be nice.
In
the meantime I'm still left wondering what exactly IS it that so hits
a nerve in these people?
In
the meantime, why not look at two people who do make sense
.
