My little scrum with an accomplished denier
Why would I waste my time tussling with people who’s motivations will always outlast reason or logic?
I was on vacation and figured what the hell.
This all started in the Comments section at an OpEd written by Christopher Horner, the lawyer taking PR point for ATI and CEI (which receive energy industry $). He was beating the drum about FOIA requests harassing Mann.
I figured that an onslaught of hive ignorance would turn me back after a few days but figured I’d be the fly in the mayonnaise anyway. Instead I caught a moderately smallish big fish, an actual Denier listed on Sourcewatch and DeSmogBlog.
The irony is he’s offended about me being so hard on Christopher Horner, a fast talking lawyer who has no problems in front of a camera. No sympathy for Mann, the object of Horner’s ire.
But let’s just see how this hashes out now that I’ve asked him if he’s the real Richard S Courtney listed on Sourcewatch and DeSmogBlog.
