Perhaps you have forgotten this thread was originally (provocatively) titled "Global Warming", and somehow (still don't know how) it got changed. That is why the first few posts up top ("flak jackets", "no good can come of this", etc.) are the way they are. So originally, this thread was about global warming in the Lakes Region.
Plus, I have received PM's saying things like "get out of town". I still find it hard to believe anyone thinks there is any controversy in Global Warming. Its even more amazing that IF there was disagreement about whether it exists, we wouldn't collectively say "let's not exacerbate the problem until we are sure human activity doesn't cause global warming". Instead, the sentiment seems to be "don't even raise questions if we are causing our own extinction because I don't want to have to change my lifestyle". That seems to me to be the crux of the denial of global warming.
I will agree with ITD to exit the thread. As to the suggestion
I am trolling - you should see my first comment on this thread ("...A whole bunch of trolls") which acknowledges this thread was originally started as a put-down of global warming (coming off the windmills thread)- the first few posts (after the first) are by people who saw where it was going...
perhaps we can do what was finally imposed on the Speed Limit thread and everyone could make one final statement and then no more. The above is my final statement on this thread. Hopefully no trolls will bring this to another thread.....
