https://theroyalstagproperties.com/our-place/ James Lee<\/a>, the demented guy who was killed after taking hostages at the Discovery channel headquarters, is turning into quite an illuminating inkblot in the blogosphere. Exhibit A is this headline<\/a> from Anthony Watts:<\/p>\n

When warmistas attack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exhibit B would be the majority sentiment that flows from that post’s comment thread, of which this one<\/a> was among the first few out of the box:<\/p>\n

https://raceflowdevelopment.com/tech/ Are you surprised? All of the unbalanced minds are on the Alarmist side. Now watch for the reaction of Romm and Hansen and all of the other spittle-flecked lunatics. Will they have the guts to embrace his actions?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://rgprincipal.com/home/ Joe Romm, for his part, rightly criticizes<\/a> the warped nature of Watts’ headline (as well as the equally cringe-inducing first line from that post) and the offensive tenor of many of the commenters in that thread.<\/p>\n

On the central figure in the tragic event,\u00a0 Romm also correctly observes:<\/p>\n

I don’t think you can tell much about this guy from his actions and writing other than the fact that he was crazy every which way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://dinoeliadis.com/recommended-reading/ Then Romm, being Romm, couldn’t leave well enough alone. In the next breath, he forfeits the high ground when he writes:<\/p>\n

Order Tramadol Online But you can tell a lot about the anti-science, pro-pollution blogosphere by how they react to this and whether or not they denounce Anthony Watts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://dentalprovidence.com/traditional-braces/ Really? Does that also apply to the (presumably pro-science, anti-pollution) liberal blogosphere, a representation of which Anthony Watts (oblivious to the odious comments from his own readers in the thread of his post), gleefully points out in the thread<\/a> of this Think Progress post<\/a>?<\/p>\n

This is the thing that puzzles me about Romm. He could have simply let the Watts post speak for itself. It was a gift staring him in the face. Instead, he had to overreach and demagogue it.<\/p>\n

https://andiroberts.com/webresources/ So I guess we can tell a lot about Romm and Watts, too, based on how they treat this sorry episode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
