Another nest of ‘scientific’ haters goes dark

You may remember “ScienceBlogs’ The official party line (according to Wikipedia) was:

ScienceBlogs was an invitation-only blog network and virtual community. It was created by Seed Media Group in 2006 to enhance the public understanding of science.…

As a result of the free rein given to bloggers... bloggers on the network sometimes got into arguments with each other over a series of posts.

He routinely deviated from science topics into attack mode...I decided some years back it was time to ignore him after this poll was conducted: Reader poll – should I sue the pants off Greg Laden?

My decision then was to ignore him, and the decision was a good one. His blog died in the vacuum that followed. Nobody cared anymore what he had to say.

Another blog at ScienceBlogs, “Deltoid”, run by Tim Lambert, met a similar fate, but much earlier on. It seems Tim crossed the line one day on a climate opinion, and smeared a respectable journalist, and that journalist decided to fight back, hard. I had some behind-the-scenes involvement in that..

Last but not least, let us not forget “science blogger” William Connolley, the copious ever-present Wikipedia climate bully-editor, who ~~got himself suspended from Wikipedia for multiple violations.~~ continues as a respected Wiki syndic despites intensive WikiTrolling by Watts; fanboys.

It seems this post was prescient:

Yep, his “science blog” is dead and as far as I know, nobody attended the funeral.

So much for “Taking science by the throat“.

Moral of this story: hate isn’t marketable.

WHICH COULD EXPLAIN HEARTLAND'S DIFFICULTY IN RAISING FUNDS TO SUBSIDIZE WATT'S AND HIS IRONY-CHALLENGED COHORT
