OCOTILLO WIND TURBINE THROWS OFF MULTI-TON BLADE, PROMPTING WORLD-WIDE SHUT DOWN OF SIMILAR TURBINES

[winter is coming]

137. Wow, there's so many straw men there, I don't know where to start.

For starters, I wouldn't classify most of the other people also questioning Nadin's behavior as "my friends". No offense to them, but I don't really know them. It's common for the "stop bullying so-and-so" posters to assume that the skeptics are BFFs planning a coordinated attack, but that's usually not the case. When a broad number of people are laughing at someone else's posts, it usually means the posts are laughable, not that there's a vast conspiracy to suppress Poster A.

It's common for Poster A and the "stop bullying" crowd to claim that there's an attempt to intimidate/silence Poster A. Nope. Don't confuse an unwillingness to accept bullshit at face value with intimidation. When you see multiple posts asking Poster A to substantiate his claims, it's because Poster A is dodging the requests, not because someone's trying to intimidate him.

It doesn't particularly bother me that Poster A will never stop, nor do I feel it's my responsibility to make anyone stop. Over the years, I've sometimes chosen to rebut the bullshit and on other occasions have decided I'm tired of even looking at Poster A's crap and moved on to something else. Nor do I care how many other people agree/disagree with me when I choose to engage Poster A.

As for ridiculing Poster A, I don't have much respect for someone who isn't debating on the level and see no virtue in pretending I do.
