RealClimate og manipulering av kommentarfeltet

[Ryddegutt]

Det er ikke så ofte at personene som står bak en klimablogg rett ut sier at de har til hensikt å styre kommentarfeltet slik at diskusjonene alltid går den "riktige" veien. Men RealClimate, bloggen som bl.a vår hjemmlige klovn Benestad var med å starte, hadde/har altså dette som rutine:

guys, I see that Science has already gone online w/ the new issue, so we put up the RC post. By now, you've probably read that nasty McIntyre thing. Apparently, he violated the embargo on his website (I don't go there personally, but so I'm informed).

Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that you're free to use RC in any way you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through, and we'll be very careful to answer any questions that come up to any extent we can. On the other hand, you might want to visit the thread and post replies yourself. We can hold comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you'd like us to include.

You're also welcome to do a followup guest post, etc. think of RC as a resource that is at your disposal to combat any disinformation put forward by the McIntyres of the world. Just let us know. We'll use our best discretion to make sure the skeptics dont'get to use the RC comments as a megaphone...

Men det viktigste man kan lese her er at bedragerne i RC på forhånd viste at de ikke kunne vinne med faglig argumentasjon hvis de slemme skeptikerne ikke ble sensurert.

Ryddegutt,
takk for at du legger ut denne sørgelige saken.
Et større vrengebilde av hvordan vitenskap skal utføres er det vel ikke mulig å finne.
Vi får tydeliggjort til det tragiske hvilken uetisk verden disse agitatorene befinner seg i.
