Comments on A Great Paper to End 2007

"Y'all" was hardly in your vocabulary while I was eavesdropping in on A conversation YOU WERE HAVING at the SLOG bar get-together A FEW WEEKS AGO.

i GUESS THAT'S YOUR LITTLE HOAX cowboy

You scientists are a fucking riot. What a great scam. Yes, this will help everyone take this issue seriously. Thanks.

You may be smart but you have no sense. Let's see they accuse you of making up stuff to support your agenda, so you make up stuff to support your agenda, brilliant.

@2: It was a web designer, not a scientist, who put together this hoax.

Anyone can fall for fraud, but this was a pretty obvious one--basic math errors, misclassification of species and all.

@1. It's true. I don't exist.

I tend to agree with 2. Creationists are still quoting known paleontological hoaxes as fact.

@2:
Right wing blogs used it. Left wing blogs didn't.

Thus: controlled experiment.
Essence of scientific method.

Y'all.

unPC are you being ironic?

Is this a left right issue?

So a left wing blogger or wag of some sort makes this up and a "several (three, thirty?) "anti-global warming web sites (what does that mean, I am anti global warming)" post links and then they take down the links when the hoax was revealed.

So someone that doesn't believe in global warming being primarily caused by GHGs made by man links to something that supports their point of view and these non-scientist web site guys don't vet the story first, BFD.

Does the slog vet every story they post?

I seem to remember the right was quite pleased about the Sokal Affair, at the time.

Being a Sun Devil, I pretty much knew it was a hoax when I saw that the U of A was involved.
