I'm getting awfully tired of watching environmentalists inject their junk science POV into articles. They palm off their own prejudices as scientific fact far too glibly for me to remain patient any longer.
Junk science? Global warming is a mainstream view. You can disagree with the science, but you can't call it junk.
We need to start cracking down on contributors who do this.
I'm talking about the dozens of places in which environmentalist contributors keep inserting their unattributed claim that there is a CONSENSUS that supports their POV.
There *is* an almost complete majority, but perhaps not a consensus. Your diffs make it seem like it's split evenly between people who acknoledge and don't acknoledge global warming.
I'm talking about PhD scientists like William Connolley who insert statemnts like "Singer is wrong" into articles instead of NAMING the scientists who disagree with Singer and saying WHY they disagree.
Well, he's just a poor author.
I've tried being cordial affable. I've tried patiently explaining NPOV. Nothing works. These advocates keep injecting their POV back into the articles, even using smear tactics against scientists who report findings which disagree with environmentalist POV.
Sounds like you're in an edit war. Maybe you should lay off the article for a while while non-involved parties fix the article.
I really see no POV in other people's revisions in the article, but your revisions seem to be somewhat against acknowledging global warming.
I can't stop three dozen other contributors from injecting bias into the scientific articles relating to the environment. Not by myself -- not by slowly and patiently undoing each mistake and explaining it. I'm outnumbered and outgunned.
Did you ever think for just a moment that you could be wrong?
I'm going to start issuing official warnings to NPOV violators. If that doesn't slow them down, I'm going to suspend them -- give them a temporary ban.
For that? You're out of your mind!
Jimbo keeps saying he's sorry to see me go and happy to see me back. Well, I call on him to back me up -- or fire me.

What's with you and banning people you disagree with? LDan
