Alex Lockwood, mentioned earlier, has put up another post. In this he classifies my earlier posting, about his demands for suppression of free speech in order to preserve the global warming dogma, as a 'personal attack'.

He also thus classifies remarks made by Bishop Hill and Longrider.

I am obliged to Mr. Lockwood for the introduction; I have added these two gentlemen to my RSS thingie, and shall read their stuff henceforth.

As to 'personal attacks', I imagine that Mr. Lockwood is perhaps half my age, and would therefore be of the generation that habitually regards the receipt of a potentially offensive SMS message as adequate justification for calling the police.

I must be more careful in future. In fact I might even be polite.

Build on the flanks of Etna where the sullen smoke-puffs float—
Or bathe in tropic waters where the lean fin dogs the boat—
Cock the gun that is not loaded, cook the frozen dynamite—
But oh, beware my Country, when my Country grows polite!
