Presumably rjt & g hall are the ‘silly’ fielders – silly-mid-off & silly point. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

& thanks for confirming my doubt Kernow.

As an expert in cricket I'm sure Clippo knows that it takes courage, knowledge and skill to field in these positions - thank you for the compliment and for confirming that we are right and you are wrong

Have you researched the anti MMGW side ?

BonnieDundee, (or anybody)

I suggest you carefully examine g hall's responses and some other posters in this thread even and several others in this E & E sub forum. When they can't reply with fact or even wit they descend into ad hominem attacks & 'troll' accusations.

It would appear that it is he who has behaviour patterns likened to an internet troll according to his wiki link.

The simple facts that he can't get over are that :-

a) The science of GW is overwhelmingly in favour of AGW

b) He has been 'conned' by the Exxon led disinformation campaign and, like them, can't raise a serious scientific objection to AGW. (actually Exxon & co do now accept AGW but g hall hasn't caught up yet).

c) I won't mention a past misdemeanor of his.

So how about posting some 'facts' g hall ????

PS I deliberately left off comments like silly mid off etc. from my first post to see if g hall & others would sieze upon them but they're were obviously too thick to take advantage of that.

Not really, he is generally civil and reasoned. Someone like Cassie is a troll, Clippo is not really.

I certainly have researched and it I simply think the evidence proves them wrong. What is more they so often seem to have political agenda it simply robs them of alot of worth in my opinion.

.

I don't mind g hall at all, but I have noticed that this is the general pattern in this sections, even after Matt Davies left, and that the arguments even just in this forum are very much lacking for the anti-side.

No, & I never expect(ed) to. However, I was also aware of this quote ( by Brain Johnston ? and did it include Dilley as well ? - help us out Kernow please) but I honestly left a lot of any such quips out for all of you to have a little fun. (Goodness knows there's a huge lack of it here).
........
Thank you for your general support BonnieDundee. The quality of debate from the AGW deniers has never been great here (or other forums I visit) - presumably due to the fact that the 'evidence' is now so wholly one-sided in favour of AGW.
Since those contrarian thinkers have had all their arguments thoroughly debunked, the only place to go for them is ad hominem attacks.

Have you researched anti-MMGW g hall? Please post some reliable data to support your conclusions if you have.

Failing that it would be a good idea to not post pointless drivel.

Ah the exxon conspiracies which you denied and if you bothered to read my posts there might be something of interest there for you

In this thread alone Clippo has called me
post 7 "silly"
post 13 "thick"

other threads are just as bad but unlike others I don't go running to the mods because I've been called names
