Hi David
You are of course at liberty to choose to read my stuff in any which way you like.
But , though you may dislike my mode of expression, I don’t think that I overstepped any of Judith’s guidelines in any of my post.
This is a place where robust expression of a variety of viewpoints is allowed. Some are very pro-alarmist, some extremely sceptical, some just plugging their own ideas. Others here just to disrupt and derail the conversations. It is a noisy and rambunctious place.
It is emphatically not the cloistered calm of the Senior Common Room or the University Lecture Hall. You are judged on the contribution you make here, not on whatever success – or none – you may have achieved elsewhere. There is no special respect sought or given to academic status. But those who can make a case well and defend it soundly gain respect. While those who find the heat of debate too much usually fade away.
It is, I think pretty much unique among all the climate blogs for the amount of many to man as well as one to one and one to many interactions that it generates No other IMO is able to do quite so much of all three.
You may have to hold your nose or close your eyes occasionally, but in general this is a grand and lively place to be.
