18. Not what I was told
Mon Sep 9, 2013, 01:27 PM
Sep 2013

I was told by XemaSab in a mail message: "You were banned for posting denier talking points."

Now, I certainly can be pugnacious from time to time, perhaps even most of the time. However, common sense should have told you that if being pugnacious was grounds for banning, there would be far fewer people in EE than there are today. It's not exactly as if I had a monopoly on that attribute...

Perhaps an argument could be made that it was the combination of my attitude and my beliefs that got me banned, but I doubt it. I still skim EE from time to time and see no one left that holds the lukewarmer position. Is global warming happening and is it caused in part by humans? Of course it is. However, after 15 years of statistically flat temperatures, how anyone can still believe global warming will be 'worse than predicted' is bewildering. There is simply no objective, empirical evidence for the position.
