Someone called "Anonymous" has just left a comment to my entry here which for some reason I can't get the LJ software to unscreen. Here is the comment in full:

Having read CORRUPTED SCIENCE, and in the light of the exposure of global warming as a HOAX, I want to know if you will be publishing a CORRUPTED SCIENCE II to expose the real corruption. This is the most agregious case of scientific corruption in human history.

And here is my mild-as-milquetoast voice-of-sweet-reason reply:

Only someone of extraordinary stupidity and complete scientific illiteracy would think that global warming has been shown to be "a HOAX" -- someone of stupidity, illiteracy, and an infantile desire to choose to listen only to what you regard as the more comforting of the stories coming your way. Does it ever cross your excessively tiny mind to wonder who's responsible for the lies you're so eager to believe?

You are very wise to remain anonymous. Because of the activities of halfwitted or corrupt AGW deniers such as yourself, there's a very good chance there won't be very much of the human species in just a few decades' time. Frankly, I don't give a monkey's fuck if your life is cut short by this disaster, but I do very much care about my daughter's future well-being. Anyone who threatens it has a very angry me to contend with. Got that?

Now go crawl back into your pit of ignorance, you idiotic little turd.

Oh, and learn to spell "egregious" while you're about it.

When Thog lose patience, patience know it been lost . . .

Glad ya told 'im. He deserved it, posting anonymously, astroturfer that he is. He was hoping (why do I automatically see this poster as male?) that his comment would provoke some of your friends to stop thinking and join him, doubtless, gormless coward that 'e is.

Love, c.

I don't know, but my automatic assumption was exactly the same -- and it's been worrying me that this should be so.
