Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Do you think what drove The Yahoo Joker/Clown Crusher the most crazy about me was that I played by the rules and he didn't?
He had dozens of accounts, I didn't. He blocked people from answering his questions, I never did. He hid his personal information, but I always shared mine. I gave science-based answers and he never did. I think it really drove him crazy that I didn't cheat the way he did.
Clown: It's too bad that you never could bring yourself to have an actual dialogue--maybe we both would have learned something. Your ridiculous assertion that everyone was me was just a broken record, and hopefully you realize by now that you were completely wrong. With just a week or so left you'd think you try something different--stop lying, stop blocking, etc. What do you have to lose?
Anonymous: yes, I think projection was part of the reason that The Yahoo Joker/Clown Crusher behaved the way he did. He has lots of accounts and lies a lot, so he believes that others do the same thing.
FSM: Yes, I think that's a pretty astute analysis. I just keep making the mistake that I think at some point people HAVE to come back to reality, but if I've learned anything from Yahoo Answers it's that a lot of people simply can't accept reality and will reject all evidence that's in conflict with their world view.
Daro--yes, I deny ever having sock puppets. I know Clown Crusher has multiple accounts, I know FSM does, Koshka has two or three accounts.I think Solar Wind has several. Me? No. After I closed the Dirac account I had zero, until I created this one when I saw that YA was closing. As for you cartoon graph, I already mentioned that the time scales of the plots are completely different, as are the errors associated with the measurements. That graph is zoomed out so far that you can't see...
...the current rate of warming is perhaps the most rapid on record. If you HAD shown a zoomed in plot (I think you're scared to), you would have seen a recent past with fairly stable temperatures, then extremely rapid warming over the past 50 years--the very "hockey stick" that you deny.
Jim2: honestly, the trolls don't get me down, they're so incompetent at rational arguments. Incidentally, I belong to an organization of geophysicists who have your father's saying as a motto--at least the "fake Latin" version of it: Illegitimi non carborundum.
Troll with stupid snake flag: Oh really, it was me that was driven crazy? How do you explain that I posted nothing in here for 3 months and you still kept thinking every question and answer was from me, lol? You are SO disconnected from reality.

As both you and I well know, we are NOT the same person. But we do have one thing in common. We let things get under our skin too much. My dad had a saying: 'Don't let the bastards grind you down. '

FSM and Jim2 account are obviously Dirac. But I guess this mental case doesn't care at this point.
The most important thing was his fragile reputation, which is actually now more shattered that we he started.

You have always played by the rules, even called others like me out when I didn't.
But you are not dealing with reasonable people. Conspiracy nutters will never admit that they live in a fantasy world and nothing you say will convince them that they are following a conspiracy theory. The only result of providing facts is that they get angry, You just have to keep it really simple, as simple as you would explain things to a 6 year old and keep repeating that until they come up with intelligent questions.
Sagebrush who kept using "quotes" taken out of context by politicians, reporters, economists etc, needed to be confronted with his own "quotes"
Kano needed to be assured he wasn't at fault because he worked in coal plants (which are unionized and thus socialist in the mind of JimZ.)
JimZ was fighting a war against communism and he associated the green movement with communism, (there is no reason why it should be)
Solar wind believes that it is solar activity, even the fact that solar active declined while temperatures continued to rise, didn't get him to stop and think.
Cyclops I never figured out, I liked his name a synonym for "one eyed monster" (my site name used to be "Prico") but other than that he just seems an angry old man.
Lib(ido)Crusher is an attention seeking troll and that is the only thing he succeeded in. But even without him YA was doomed. It is one of the worst question and answer sites I have come across. Thanks to the pseudoscience spouted by all of the deniers who seem to believe they know more about the subject then climate scientists...
I started of in the religion section, but even though I am an atheist, but the atheist there were just too mean towards the people who ask genuine questions about religion. If Sagebrush had spend any time in there even I would have felt sorry for him. (Or maybe not)
No one drove Lib(ido)Crusher crazy, he was crazy before he joined YA like all the other 4chan cult members with him. The fact that you didn't get upset bugged him though. He and his ilk in the politics section are forever asking questions how liberals feel, if they are upset, etc... It is quite funny actually as they don't seem to realize that any liberal who comes to YA would by definition have to have a very thick skin indeed.

Bah, let it go if you can. There is nothing you can say or do to make him change his mind about AGW and about you being everyone that disagrees with him. He blocked me, I blocked many of his trolling accounts, just to make him work a little harder.
You did play by the rules, your only mistake was to shut down your initial account, this gave the clown reasons to attack you here. Also, and I'm guilty of that too, you and many of us gave him attention. I do feel sorry for him sometimes though, so, take it with a grain of salt, he's just a troll!
I was telling MrZ in one of my questions that I wish everyone well, I might laugh at the clown but I certainly don't wish anyone harm. Less than 8 days to go!

It was a sad, humiliating end for him, all that time and effort and all he did was make the rapidly diminishing denier movement look dumb and desperate

No, he was already fully crazy before he came here. So must have been someone else that did it, years ago.

Good for you. Be comforted that these idiots will soon have one less venue to spread their verbal diahhrea on.
