Do you find the global warming deniers that block others to be particularly stupid and dishonest?
I guess if they were honest and knew anything at all about science they wouldn't block.

Davie Bwoi, I'm not rude to people that tell the truth and give intelligent answers.

Some people claim that I call people "dishonest" because they disagree with me or with the ideas of global warming That is not the case: I call people dishonest when they have been caught telling blatant lies. As the saying goes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts.

"Anonymous" down there is a good example. I don't block him, because I am confident enough that what I say is correct that I don't need to block others who might attempt to poke holes in it. Anonymous knows that what he says can't be defended, so he only allows his comrades to answer his questions.

Yes, I do think there is a correlation between tendency to block (and/or be anonymous) and being dishonest. As others have pointed out, the correlation might not be limited to just deniers. It might be observed by those who support AGW, and probably more broadly in other topics (e.g. the Politics category) as well, although I don't visit those topics enough to say for sure.

How often did you get on Hey Dook for his methods???
Edit:
" I'm not rude to people that tell the truth and give intelligent answers."
You mean your version of the truth and intelligent by your determination. Think that might be a biased application that may rightfully anger some people?
I can only really speak for myself, but I do quite enjoy discussing science with other people. I especially enjoy discussing science with the general public, and learn quite a lot doing so. However, I’m not a politician, or a public servant, or a salesperson, so I don’t have to put up with people who can’t bother even trying to be civil.
