THE REPORT OF DEAD STOATS IS SOMEWHAT EXAGGERATED

CHICO CALIFORNIA'S GREATEST LIVING IRONIST  OUTDOES HIMSELF YET AGAIN

Another nest of ‘scientific’ haters goes dark


You may remember “ScienceBlogs’ The official party line (according to Wikipedia) was:
ScienceBlogs was an invitation-only blog network and virtual community. It was created by Seed Media Group in 2006 to enhance the public understanding of science.
As a result of the free rein given to bloggers... bloggers on the network sometimes got into arguments with each other over a series of posts.
.
 He routinely deviated from science topics into attack mode...I decided some years back it was time to ignore him after this poll was conducted: Reader poll – should I sue the pants off Greg Laden?
My decision then was to ignore him, and the decision was a good one. His blog died in the vacuum that followed. Nobody cared anymore what he had to say.
Another blog at ScienceBlogs, “Deltoid”, run by Tim Lambert, met a similar fate, but much earlier on. It seems Tim crossed the line one day on a climate opinion, and smeared a respectable journalist, and that journalist decided to fight back, hard. I had some behind-the-scenes involvement in that..
Last but not least, let us not forget “science blogger” William Connolley, the copious ever-present Wikipedia climate bully-editor, who got himself suspended from Wikipedia for multiple violations.  continues as a respected Wiki syndic despites intensive WikiTrolling by  Watts; fanboys.

 It seems this post was prescient:
Yep, his “science blog” is dead and as far as I know, nobody attended the funeral.
[  WRONG AS USUAL --  STOAT  REMAINS ALIVE AND WELL , BACK  AT  ITS  ORIGINAL  WEB  ADDRESS: http://mustelid.blogspot.co.uk  ]

So much for “Taking science by the throat“.
Moral of this story: hate isn’t marketable.
