And if you do that for 5 years, you’ll be so damn tough and articulate and able to communicate and withstand pressure that you won’t even recognize yourself, and then you’ll be a force to contend with.” And then if you listen to them, you’ll be just that much less like that the next time you say something. It’ll shape you because people will respond and object and tell you why your a fool and a biased moron, and why you’re ignorant. So, if you’re going to stand up for something, stand up for your truth. You get to choose which poison you’re going to take. You don’t get to choose to not pay a price.

You’re going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and every thing you don’t do. Now you might have to pay a price for that, but that’s fine. The idea is that, nothing brings a better world into being than the stated truth. Now, the reason you think that, that’s an element of faith. You have to think, alright, I’m going to say what I think, stupid as I am, biased as I am, ignorant as I am, I’m going to state what I think as clearly as I can and I’m going to live with the consequences, no matter what they are.

Now in order to speak what you might regard as the truth, you have to let go of the outcome. Or, there’s my favorite statement from Dr. it’s best to just ignore the denizens of the “anonyverse” who want to tear you down, without having the integrity to put their own name to their childish taunts. So, besides giving that standard response, once. It’s a great way to get the message across without lowering yourself to their level of lexiconic skill. When somebody spews irrational climate-fueled hate, just reply: “ See Arkell v. In fact, that’s probably the best way to respond to such things. While there are occasions where anonymity is required, such as whistleblowers, criminal informers, and people whose livelihoods are at risk if they speak out, the garden variety anonymous Twitter and blog taunters deserve the Arkell v. At least he uses his real name, which may be why he’s incapable of ever admitting to error in his comments. Today, having paid his penance, I’m taking him off to see if he behaves. Recently, with a comment where he smeared somebody, he earned being put on moderation (he’s earned several time-outs). While he is often maddeningly obtuse (he once got me so irritated I suggested it may be time for him to STFU – my bad, with apology) and mis-directive in the form of “Look! A squirrel!” he is almost always polite.

Sometimes (more often than not) we have to resort to banning such people as they escalate their anger and eventually run afoul of our blog comment policy. But, there are those who can post disagreement without being mean or abusive. Skeptics rarely get the same courtesy on Alarmist sites.Īnd Alarmism is wrapped heavily in identity politics, so any rebuttal, no matter how politely expressed, will likely be claimed a personal attack.Īnd using passive-aggressive, pseudo-polite language to attract hostility, then complain about people being mean, is a common ploy of the more insidious trolls. That Alarmist comments appear at all puts the site far ahead of the curve. Truly, such taunters comprise an army of social justice warriors insignificant anonymous cowards.Īs for WUWT’s role in this, I think it is summed up very well by this comment by drednicolson posted today:

The Internet has created an easy and safe way for people to hurl insults, ugliness, slander, libel, and taunts without having to endure the consequences of their actions or the social shaming that would come if such things were said in polite company. Since I’m a regular target of hate mail, hate Tweets, and hate blog essays, for daring to express a consensus-contradictory opinion on Climate, I’ll add a thought of my own: Online, anonymity breeds contempt. The message is that they can do it, too.” ― Andrew Breitbart But if you keep going, you’re sending a message to people who are rooting for you, who are agreeing with you. All those things are said against you because they want to stop you in your tracks. For those who are childish purveyors of ugliness conducted from the shadows of anonymity (you know who you are, Slashdot labels them as ‘anonymous cowards’), this quote serves well as my guide for the future: Just before I wrote And, I’m back the other day, I came across this quote that inspired me to press on against the ugliness, the abuse, and the taunting that climate skeptics endure every day, with yours truly in particular being the brunt of many of those.
