Off topic, Lawrence.

I thought the general consensus was that as long as it was prefixed
people were happy?

Read the charter

Okay AGW Off Topic for UK sci.weather but on topic for UKMO. I see .

I would also add its impossible to discuss AGW without the politics .

You are quite wrong. The charter encourages discussion of
climate topics *"from a scientific standpoint and not a political (or
environmental-activist) one." What's difficult about that?

But he has added 'OT' and 'AGW' so that those who wish
to do so may filter them out. This is accepted practice on
other groups and seems like a fair compromise.

That's what I thought Col, *I could carry on as usual but I've now got the
big guns against me and if I don't toe the line I'll become the pariah of
the NG. *It's not in my nature to be selective or measured with this topic
so I'll guess I'll have to go elsewhere.

I will say in my defence, that I've pulled a few legs , taken the mickey,
made umpteen spelling mistakes, talked rubbish, set out to make some points
and hopefully with a sense of fun and self deprecation. I've never
consciously *set out to hurt any ones feelings and have only given a bit of
stick back after some had been thrown my way.

I do believe in climate change but not to the extent of the moaning minnies
who hate everything that humans have achieved and naively think there was
another choice.

Weather has been politicised and UKMO is the definitive proof of that as its
services have extended further into gobbledygook.

I can't cover up my irritation, anger and disbelief so to stay here would
just make it unpleasant. So after ten years its goodnight from me.- Hide quoted text -

Completely riduculous. Sorry, but it is. I've met these faux threats
to elicit sympathy before and their implicit attempt to tar someone as
a bad guy. If you don't like the response, don't post the political
stuff, or post it elsewhere. If you have a thick enough skin to keep
doing it, despite a little criticism (and that's all you've had), then
more power to your elbow. I've got far more respect for someone who
sticks to their guns and backs what they say with good argument than
someone who wheedles for sympathy like that.

I give you a day sulking before you return, or maybe a week, or maybe
a month, or not. The quicker you get over it and post again, the
easier it will be for you and the better for the rest of us.
