Much as you'd like to think otherwise SC, nobody really cares if some rabid sceptic with mad haxxor skillz raided data from a private email account somewhere because it isn't part of the debate. In fact its just a lowlife crime. What is part of the debate, is the peer reviewed literature. It's a shame you don't talk about that much, but it does demonstrate that you've got nothing much to say other than trying to glorify a crime.
The two are connected in case it as slipped your mind, gosh you warmers really are blinkered. Peer reviewed literature isn't worth diddley squat, as those e-mails suggested!
I see you have lost another argument SC. You don't seem able to engage in discussing the facts, you merely fall back on tedious and over-used prejudices.
Let's try again. The emails were stolen, i.e. obtained illegally. They were stolen to order for a specific purpose. I can think of nothing that justifies that action and if you condone it in any way whatsoever then your judgement is suspect.
It speaks volumes for the desperation of the sceptic/denier lunatic fringe that this non-event in terms of adding value to the debate should be held in such high regard.
Let us know when (a) you have your moral compass re-tuned and (b) want to engage in discussion about the facts.

The worthwhile facts, related to this thread and under discussion are the contents of some emails. Ethics are a seperate issue, but Jeff puts that argument to bed, and still you will not discuss them
And you along with Devonian have time and time again recently in this thread, demonstrated your extreme prejudices and reiterated them - some say "bleated".
Below, I have posted the definition of a troll from Wiki:
a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response.
Do you fit the description with regard to your recent contributions here? .
