Are you serious? Surely not. You jump into the thread after maybe taking 5-10 mins to read a handfull of comments by me and mis-interpret that as being everything about me. I have no idea who you are or anything about your history or views on anything and yet you start off by making all manner of ludicrously false claims and assumptions about me, about what I think, how I think, what I know don't know, and why I think it. That's really a very silly thing to do.
Yikes. Persecution complex much?
This may come as a huge disappointment to you.... but I didn't read one comment by you, let alone a "handful". Like I said before, I have no idea how you've got it in your head that what I've written has been directed at you. In fact, it's a bit creepy that you seem convinced this has all revolved around you. Let me make this absolutely clear, it hasn't.
You say: a "guy who nevertheless simply internalizes pre-packaged, dominant narratives that appeal to his assumptions." That's simply a ridiculous uninformed judgment to make about me. I know it is, you do not.
Let me say it again.... that isn't about YOU. Sheesh! Does the expression 'narcissism' mean anything to you? This was about Rick Archer. You know... the guy featured on this podcast? Why on earth would you think it's about you?

"I also have a perfect right to state categorically you are wrong about things you claim and assert about myself."
IT WASN'T ABOUT YOU!!!!!!
I have no interest in proving or supporting that assertion of mine to you. Do you understand that? Your assertions about me have no value to begin with. I suggest you stop it.
THEY'RE NOT ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I don't debate AGW/CC. This is a "discussion forum" and I am discussing the current topic on this thread. My way of approaching the topic is to share useful information with others, and allow them the space and the right to make of it what they will. I don;t debate it. I don;t try and prove anything.
Why? What is the use of making random,unsubstantiated assertions? Any infant can do that. All narcissists think their limited perspective is "useful".
I say what I think and what I know.
No. You say what you think you know. It's not the same thing. Unless you make some effort to substantiate your assertions it is the same thing as just making things up.
Why would I want to argue with someone who simply makes things up and insists his subjective impressions are "useful"?You wanna argue with me? Not going to happen. :)
By the way - what's with all the little happy faces all over the place?
