What should be done with the "Global Warming" thread?
[blue]Greetings Everyone,
There's been a lot of bickering in the "Global Warming: Fact, fad or just a lot of hot air?" thread in the past few days which leads me to post this question to the Membership:
[i]"Should the "Global Warming: Fact, fad or just a lot of hot air?" be deleted in it's entirety, or preserved for posterity?"[/i]

As always, I look forward to hearing your comments.

Erase everything not related to the climate change discussion
I think Jackson is aware of the fact that we are different people, And I am sure he has the data to prove it.
I would not consider it a flame, this TROLL made numerous derogatory remarks about another forum members family members. He was allowed to continue for an entire day, I would ban people for that type of behavior, but that's just me. I have never once seen this forums standards degraded to that level, I was actually amazed this loon went as far as he did.
I think the topic itself is a hard sell, the majority of punters on this website aren't trained scientists and therefore either have to fall back along political party lines and rhetoric or they have to use scientific studies from REAL scientists. I mean it is real easy to say Global Warming is bullshit, but it is alot harder to prove. The problem arises when some members adopt a theory as if it were their own and then once that theory is challanged and the punter isn't actually knowledgable about the actual topic he descends into elementary school tantrums.
It is very hard to have a discussion based on scientific fact and data on this forum, not impossible but once you equate trolls into the mix, you have problems. I don't think the thread would ever lead to any conclusion since no one is going to convince someone else to change their opinion as ONE member tried.
