Just a friendly question from a near founder member. What exactly is this
Dawlish thing about? Could someone spell it out for me because I seemed to
have missed it and it's getting on my nerves. Yes he does write long posts,
possibly he can be a bit arrogant and maybe I don't agree with everything he
says. But, he's not alone is he over the years and he seems to attract some
kind of collective abuse.
As I say, he must have done something really bad down the line that I
missed. The good thing and strength of this group, in my opinion, is that we
do get a few whacky people, or we all say something that is considered
controversial by someone, but they are either ignored or confronted but in
most cases forgiven.

Yes, we get wacky ones such as Lawrie Jenkins and Weatherlawyer
who are both a bit barmy at times but are no problem. But rude,
overbearing bullies who try to convince you they know a good deal more
than they do are more of a problem and I'm surprised and saddened that
the difference is not immediately apparent to you.

I must say I have admired his efforts against the screaming cacophony
of anti-AGW voices, especially the foul-mouthed abusive ones that seem
to pop up whenever Christainsen posts - it's difficult (for me,
anyway) not to respond to them in kind. About other matters I'd prefer
to forget the past, as I pushed my own luck too far.

No need to be saddened Tudor, I can perceive the differences, as you should
have noticed over the years. Glad you and "Lawrie" have made up ;-)

I've never actually met Lawrence Jenkins but we have a mutual
friend who always refers to him as Lawrie and says he is "all right"
i.e. a bit nutty but agreeable, something that cannot be said of
certain people here.

As far as I can see, there is ample abuse flowing from both sides.
