Interestingly, many of the same posters are very quick to ridicule IPCC / WSR / GRR. Attempts to counter that have been met with warnings, threats and bans even though the naysayers seem free to cast aspersions on the judgement and integrity of anyone who does support IPCC / WSR / GRR.
So, WCRugger, while I agree with you about the virtual middle finger there are very good reasons why that isn't the only appropriate response.
