Actually, Curval, I didn't see Laz comment on Eagl's links at all. I saw him restate various predictions he has made on weather/global warming and ask how he's doing so far.
(Note: the issue of manmade vs other cause global warming has not been raised in this thread, just global warming in general. I think that's an important distinction as I don't think anyone on the BBS has disputed that temperatures have risen. The debate has been over the cause of the rise. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Funny Toad...you have commented alot in the past about how you think I am smarter than what I show here because I get involved in *debates* with lazs on futile topics such as GW.

I think that is an incorrect statement. I think you're smarter than what you show here because you usually don't state your own strongly held views here and then defend them. I think you could; I think you are plenty smart. What I see mostly though is the old drive-by style posts that really have little content.
Much like the first one you made in this thread.
The reason I don't see a need to criticize Laz as a protagonist is that he almost always states his position and then defends it in those threads. He's not a continual drive-by sniper.
Can he be offensive? Yes, absolutely. No, I don't publicly call him on it. This is a style not content issue.
I would prefer a more civil style from a lot of folks on this board. Rather than be a scold, I do the best I can to be civil myself and hope that others will do so as well.
