Ad homina homina homina

in honor of commenters at DeSmog Blog: http://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-payments-university-victoria-professor-susan-crockford-probed



I guess what I didn't realize about DeSmog Blog is the extent to which the entire blog's emphasis seems to be on personal attacks and ad hominem questioning of people's motives, character, funding, rather than examination of people's actual arguments on the merits. One look at the entries in their "denier database" makes this pretty clear: http://www.desmogblog.com/global-warming-denier-database .

Rather feel as if I misjudged DeSmog Blog--I had originally the impression of more of a fair forum, akin to Keith Kloor's site . . . but this sadly does not seem to be the case.
