So everyone’s favorite doofus, Robert, has taken a break from his travails at “The Idiot Tracker”, Robert’s loser-blog that no one reads, and gone on one of his usual tears through this blog (hey, Robert!–thanks for the spam-link to your loser blog that no one reads in your opening comment).
And, as we’ve come to expect from Mr. Screw-Up, himself, Robert’s blunder-buss pot-shot at electrical engineers inadvertently ended up nailing two of his buddies–WebHub and tempterrain. Which then prompted an indignant tempterrain (temp’s always at his best when in an indignant snit) to reveal the critical, “meta-expertise” criterion by which the worth of electrical engineers can be judged–the good ‘uns don’t “froth at the mouth when Al Gore’s name is mentioned.” (St. Al’s B. A. was in Government Studies, incidentally, for you “meta-expertise” mavens, out there.)
And to give the flavor of Robert’s loser blog, that no one reads, one may profitably consider the title of the somewhat disturbing post which Robert linked to in his initial comment on this thread. Robert’s blog post, of which he is the author, is entitled, “Frank Lemke Mathturbates in Public–Judith Curry Watches”. Quite the snappy title! And that (heh-heh) image of Judith Curry watching Frank “mathurbate” publically–well, that’s the sort of edgy snark that thrills Robert’s greenshirt comrades (while leaving the rest of us wondering just where the lefties dug-up this very strange Robert idiot). And that, in turn, allows one to reflect on the salient feature of the “meta-expertise” of CAGW advocates–they are almost all really, really weird, creepy people. Like Robert.
