I don't know if you ever re-read what is written, but I do. What is written speaks for itself. If you and raveneye see deceit, I have no problem with what you see. I just give my point of view and I saw no deceit.

My responses are meant as much or more for others to see as they are to engage in a dialogue with you. You can choose to ignore them or not.

I am usually more interested in reading the point of view of those who disagree with me than reading the views of those who do agree with me. I have tried to avoid throw-away comments directed at specific individuals that do not move the dialog forward. You don't. You waste time, energy and effort. You saying I am closed minded, is not going to change me, and others have formed their own opinions. Your comment added no value to anything.

I dont particularly care either either way, but I will continue to call you out

It is unfortunate that you are usually wrong. Like in this case, I ask a question about a chart in your post, and you then say I am trying to frame the discussion in an inappropriate manner. I am sure you don't see the flaw in your logic, but it is a pretty big one.

I may be too direct for you (or others) and you may not like what I post, but I play by the rules here and if I dont, the mods will let me know.
If you take my posts as a personal insult and a pissing contest...thats your issue, not mine.

This exchange clearly defines the problem when a conservative tries to take a reasoned approach in discussing an issue with pompous, pseudo-intellectual liberals. Let's ignore the topic and the questions on the table and divert the discussion to some trivial bullshit that has no bearing on anything of value. You have succeeded. I have no more interest in discussing the topic of global warming here.
