With respect: we don't. We have FReepers who put up graphs and who discuss the science. AGW on FR is not remotely a good example of the Delphi technique in action.
If you want examples of bad, deceitful debate technique on FR consider the following snippets that I often see used to shut down and diminish contrary opinion:
"3... 2... 1 ... until (the people who oppose my viewpoint) arrive on the thread". "Birthers"
"Yawn"
"Free Traitors"
This might be an appropriate thread for other FReepers to post their own examples of dishonest debate technique.

Just a note that is important, focusing on this can also work against you, causing undue paranoia and divisions as people try to root out 'agent provocateurs'. Agere's post reminded me of this with the comment on 3...2...1.. (not saying this was intentional, it only triggered the thought..) Sometimes the seed of paranoia about the Delphi Technique can create as many divisions.. imagine if everyone suddenly went on a mission looking for it and calling anyone out on it who didn't fall in lock step with the OP. Oh, you are just an agent provocateur using the Delphi Technique.. you troll..zot...
