Your comment policy are silly.All you are doing is to invite an increase in the abuses in the comment section.I have seen forums DIE from such moderating neglect.

Since you have no desire to clean up the messes that some pathetic posers (yes posers)leave behind.The threads are a mess.With multiple names being used by certain people.Cluttering up the discussions.With ugly name calling and mind games that goes on.

That I will no longer bother to read them or comment again.If fact I plan to delete the link to your blog.Since you are being unprofessional about it all.Meaning that no more will I post some of your blog entries at my forum.No more will I read anymore of your blog entries.No more having to put up with the crap that goes on here.

Good bye.

Instead of having users register (they can always register under various aliases), you could do what they do at ace.mu.nu: include an alphanumeric string that is the result of a hash of the person's IP address. Sockpuppets always have the same hash, so you can detect them quite easily.

However, I don't know what software or plug-in does that for Ace, but hey, it's worth a look.

I have set up my own blog for debating global warming. The address is brazil84.wordpress.com Feel free to debate me there. Even “scientist” is welcome if he follows the rules.

Actually, ElamBend, it doesn’t show that you are not a kook. It only shows that you are not the only kook.

Warren,
A little OT, but your site and its links to sources is a great help to me to show my friends and and associates that I'm not some kook in my skepticism of the 'accepted' theories of global warming.
thanks

“Isn’t it a shame that the apathetic ‘comment policy’ allows and encourage such a primary-school atmosphere”

Let’s be clear, it the behavior of a few individuals that’s the problem. Many sites moderate comments before posting and don’t allow personal attacks or obscenities.

Check out the Policy page at Watt’s Up with That: http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/policy/. This requires a moderator of course, and I understand how time constraints may not allow that for this blog.

Stevo,

"acolytes"......"sycophantically"? Do you really talk like this?

Im sure were all impressed, feel good about yourself now?

What a pompous dork you are.

It’s childish and obfuscating. It confuses the mind. Perhaps that’s the rationale behind some posters here.

I encourage everyone who agrees with me to remain civil, rational, open-minded, and professional in the comments - do you think that people who post here can be conveniently divided into either "agree with you" or "don't agree with you"? Do you imagine that you have a bunch of acolytes who sycophantically lap up every word you say and accept it all as unimpeachable truth?

I rather like the challenge of trying to tell the imposters from the "real" posters. Maybe someone will now pretend to be me. I think I'll be able to tell it's not really me, but who knows.

Certainly such childish people have the attention span of children and will quickly tire of the charade and go play with their little toys.
