I noticed the same sort of thing a couple of years ago, after the first set of data and emails was released, after it was sorted out that they were real emails, not some huge joke.
Rather than discuss the emails, the “conversations” were mostly acrimony and insults from the “alarmists”, directed at the “deniers”, with no middle ground allowed. From another topic here:
I admit I was a bit shocked to discover that when simple scientific questions were brought up, predicated by real problems in research, rather than educate and inform, the “warmists” spewed forth invective and made everything personal. It really seemed like a religion, and one that didn’t like having it’s secret documents spread around the internet.
Much like this topic, where the last thing being discussed is the actual pilfered documents and emails.
