ANOTHER GREAT MOMENT IN SCIENCE

Big headed -- literally and figuratively -- science guy Tim Lambert reckons Steve McIntyre's discovery of an error in the temperature record is no big deal. When commenter oconnellc refuses to follow the script Lambert bans him. Another contrarian commenter looking to be banned chimes in:

Tim Lambert: Your "banning for dishonesty" is very Steve McIntyrian. It's bullshit. Ban me for joking and cursing and farting. Don't ban someone who argues a point with you. (Even if he's wrong.) The reason is that maybe he isn't wrong.

Gee, Lambert usually calls commenters trolls before banning them.
