Curt, I can't believe the nonsense you are spouting, and I furthermore cannot imagine why you would be so presumptuous as to entrain me into an exchange with these charlatans. What ib [sic] earth are you thinking? ...You are speaking from ignorance here, and you must further know how your statements are going to be used. You could have sought some feedback from others who would have told you that you are speaking out of your depth on this. By instead simply blurting all of this nonsense out in an email to these sorts charlatans you've done some irreversible damage. shame on you for such irresponsible behavior!
The "Curt" who got so ingloriously bitch-slapped here is Dr. Curt Covey of the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Heaven forbid he express a thought before clearing it with the keepers of the sacred word.
Actually it is worse then that. This isn't merely an exchange between two people, but Mann took it upon himself to send a copy of his response to Covey to a host of other people including Jim Hansen and Gavin Schmidt. I guess they also enjoy a good bitch-slap.
And, of course, it helps them all to add another name to the "suspect" list.
ADDING:
In a weird way I'm enjoying going through these things piecemeal, but for those who might want a quick overview of the juicy bits there is a good run down at Bishop Hill. Included are:
Reaction to McIntyre's 2005 paper in GRL. Mann has challenged GRL editor-in-chief over the publication. Mann is concerned about the connections of the paper's editor James Saiers with U Virginia [does he mean Pat Michaels?]. Tom Wigley says that if Saiers is a sceptic they should go through official GRL channels to get him ousted. (1106322460) [Note to readers - Saiers was subsequently ousted]
Later on Mann refers to the leak at GRL being plugged.(1132094873)
Classy as always.
