Hump day hilarity: WUWT’s new policy on hate mail – your hate mail will be published

There comes a time when you just have to decide not take the abuse silently anymore, but instead, to laugh at it.

As many of you know, this is the world’s most read website about climate – by both sides. As a result, my email is like a firehose. I get a lot of legitimate email, but I also get a lot of abuse from people that think I’m not allowed to have a different opinion on all things climate; some people think I shouldn’t even be allowed to have a website or a voice. You know who you are, since WUWT is read equally by both sides daily.

Typically though, I just delete hate mail like this. Today, given a few other elements that made me laugh, and since this person is obviously ignorant, misinformed, and filled with hate, I’ve decided to publish it. It’s not like the person wasn’t warned, our WUWT contact page has this statement:

Nicely done Anthony. Out the haters and "true believers". The inference about the Koch brothers is laughable. Seems like nobody has any concerns about georgee boy "I'll help load the box cars" soros and all his interference. There's plenty of IPOS/LPOS/SPOS/UPOS to go around.

The problem with publishing those emails, it turns the conversation away from informed debate into name calling.

John Ransom, of Townhall.com does a great job responding to his hate mail as well.
