You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
I couldn't get the link to open. I assume it is a climate scientist presenting their ideas in a scientific journal?
ReplyDeleteClose :-) I can send you a copy if you want; it is a newspaper article and invokes the Nazis - I'm not sure you need any more than that.

It opened this time. Whew! You are correct; the historian/author drifted into eugenics and Nazi's. I wonder who would change their mind after reading the article. Perhaps this article is one step above Martin's postings on evolution.
ReplyDeleteThe comparison to eugenics in Germany (no specific mention of Nazis, however) is in the context of a remark about scientists rushing to judgment concerning things about which they don't have sufficient evidence.
ReplyDeleteI'll mark you all down as being in favor of science rushing to judgment.
Keep that careful analysis and critical thinking coming boys!

ReplyDeleteCome on, admit it, Mr Cothran, you're just playing the straight man (except when it comes to homosexuals) (unintentional pun)
MC's link: "In fact, when the Nazis"
MC: is the problem of simple reading comprehension becoming a sort of theme
