Within their world, they are doing a pretty good job. Which, by the way, is part of the reason why dissenters need to be shouted down. Consider, for example **Gigobuster** who is obviously a bad combination of arrogance and stupidity. How else could he get to spew irrelevant nonsense and get patted on the back for it? ---

I suspect the fucktards who agree with him are actually just his puppet accounts. Did you notice how they all stopped posting at exactly the same time? Then all started up again at the same time. And they never actually converse with each other. It’s odd enough I noticed. ---

That’s why we have to take your keyboard away next. Can’t have you contacting the experts in the field to reveal your secret knowledge (Minus the 2-3% on Exxon’s payroll) and explaining to them they’ve just been dupes. I could just see each researcher [dying](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_from_laughter) shortly after your big reveal. ---

But no need to squabble and fight, I’ll let you both be equally wrong. Better? Cool. > [@brazil84](#): > > I suspect a lot of it is that deep down the warmists don’t seriously believe the nonsense they are spouting. _Their main goal is to appear intellectually and morally superior_. Goal met. A shame it’s not much of a rush feeling superior to two putzes who’d have difficulty keeping pace with a slime worm. But I suppose one shouldn’t expect great returns for the small effort expended. ---

> [@brazil84](#): > > I disagree, since the fucktard crew is noticeably more articulate than **Gigobuster**. I’m going to have to give up on irony on the internet. I figured the very thought of whoever is behind GIGOgalloper also being able to run a couple of sock accounts, with perfect English, was too unbelievable for anyone to think I was serious.

I see where the misunderstanding occurs. You’ve been using ironic smiley when you should have been using the," Too clueless to give a FX" smiley. But it’s okay sweetie, you can still laugh at your own jokes while everyone else laughs _at you_. This [article](http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/09/17/climate_change_denial_speak_up_speak_out.html?wpisrc=flyouts) does a good job underscoring why that’s important… Enjoy! 😉 ---

Besides which, there have been posts which seemed sock-puppet-esque . . .[this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16651318&postcount=352) and [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16653345&postcount=370) come to mind. ---

I sympathize Brazzers. I think the main stumbling block is FX’s attempt to repackage stupidity as irony, making it “hard to detect” what isn’t there. But keep trying… ---

I bet it’ll be a lot colder in the next few months over at least half of the globe. Thus invalidating global warming yet again. ---

> [@brazil84](#): > > Agree, if any response at all is forthcoming, it will most likely be comprised of one or more of the following: > > (4) evasive non-responses. That seems to be the case with the evidence based scientific posts, there is simply no response. It’s not a surprise, as this behavior is a constant with true believers, and some actual scientists as well. This evasion and refusal to even look at any evidence that challenges their beliefs, it’s not scientific. ---

That’s sarcasm, but far too obvious to be funny. I’m glad real scientists and people who study our planet are spending their time (and often our money) actually finding pout what is happening. Pretty much everything I know about climate is because of dedicated people who do the work. That being said, having the data collected means anyone, expert or half baked amateur, can engage in the other side of science, which is research. ---
