Seems to be an odd coincidence?
I've noticed that Sagebrush and Maxx have been absent today.
I've also noticed that none of the "skeptics" answers have been TD's as much.
Am I crazy in thinking that he/she/they might be behind the whole TD thing in some effort to make skeptics look oppressed?
Or am I crazy for trying to attribute any level of cleverness to them?

I noticed the same thing, well except I didn't notice the missing Maxx and Sagebrush. I was trying to figure out which alarmists wasn't here but I didn't figure out any suspects. Your theory is interesting if not bizarre. hmmmm, Maxx and Sage are suicide thumbsdowners. It seems like a longshot theory to me.

Yes, it is a coincidence.
Probably not odd.
Probably Labor Day weekend.
Not crazy but surely mistaken in "trying to attribute any level of cleverness to them."

Shhhhhhhhhhh! Sagemaxx might be listening and show up.
Ooops! Too late! It looks like Sagemaxx has a new sock; Freedom and Liberty.

They are certainly determined, recalcitrant, and dedicated - but if they were clever they would at least be more interesting and entertaining.

Freedom and Liberty --
<<The leading AGW alarmists have lied to the world and crushed and discredited any scientist who speaks out against the falsehood of the UN IPCC "consensus". <<
Please explain the system and mechanism by which such intellectual suppression occurs. And also please provide any examples where climategate scientists supported AGW prior to the mid- / late-1990s.
In fact, even the anti-Christ himself, Michael Mann, was cautionary in his opinion on AGW prior to that time, see:

I appreciate your sense of humor. I did not previously associate cleverness with FAS.

I was here as late as 6 PM EDT. I am so glad you missed me. We will have to jack up Maxx for falling down on the job.
Yes I will agree that Maxx and I have the greatest amount of Touch Down answers. (I am much better than him though. don't you think?)
EDIT: You can always tell when you are telling the truth. Evil people hate you and give you thumbs down.
Really, and I am serious about this, I think it is quite an honor to be held on an equal basis with Maxx. Thank you so much.
EDIT (Speaking for new alter ego Freedom and Liberty) Regarding Gary F: <Please explain the system and mechanism by which such intellectual suppression occurs.>
Example: Quote by Will Harper, Princeton University physicist, former Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy: “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism....I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect....Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science. The earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past.”
There are many more.

lol. Not sure 'cleverness' would be the term I'd use for anyone wasting their time to hand out extra thumbs down.
Nor is there any meaningful benefit to a 'sympathy' reaction.

When someone loses an argument and feels threatened, they shout and they shoot. They insult the person, not the subject at hand. They will go to all extents to silence opposition.
The leading AGW alarmists have lied to the world and crushed and discredited any scientist who speaks out against the falsehood of the UN IPCC "consensus". Good people have been swept into the lies of AGW and they do the work of the Marxist terrorists unknowing the true extent and damage that what they propagate will unleash.
The liars behind AGW will eventually be brought to justice, it could be ten years from now or one hundred, but they will face justice.
