To call them "debates" is generous. Neither side is willing to consider
the possibility that the other side might actually have a point. It's all
about yelling, screaming, throwing chairs and posturing.

That was evident when the AGW crowd rushed forth to claim that the
"debate" was over, and that people should be stripped of the
credentials, or put in jail, for questioning their point of view.

All you need to do is killfile anything posted to more than 3 newsgroups.
In slrn, it looks like this:

%BOS
% Crosspostings.
[*]
Score:: -9999
Newsgroups: .*,.*,.*
%EOS

I don't see any of the bovine scatology.

You watch too much TV. There are not two sides to a fact.
