By my "approach", I assume you mean civilized, rational debate based on facts? I can see that you disagree with that approach, which is exactly part of the problem! Your approach, on the other hand, is to blow up in a fit of hysteria when challenged and begin firing juvenile insults and personal attacks at your opponent and finally to advocate banning them when your worldview becomes threatened.

Hardly spurious, dude! In your little way, your psychology of narcissistic self-delusion has a remarkable resemblance to your average petty dictator, as bizarre as that might seem!

Okay, your point is that ecoterrorism is not as bad as anti-abortion terrorists because all they do is burn property and threaten people, even though the article cites "four-and-a-half years of arson, vandalism, violence and destruction claimed to have been executed on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front or Earth Liberation Front, extremist movements known to support acts of domestic terrorism" and the "FBI says ecoterrorism is the most widespread and damaging form of domestic terrorism." I'm not so sure I buy into your argument that some terrorists are not as bad as others. From where I stand, they're all terrorists, who have the potential to destroy lives, property, etc. You're making an artificial distinction.

Okay, so
now you're saying that "global warming" terrorists are less terrible than your average ecoterrorists because all they do is "tire-slashing"--I'm not so sure I buy into that argument either. First of all, I'm not so sure that "global warming" terrorists limit their activity to "tire-slashing" and secondly, I'm not so sure that you can honestly draw a distinction between "global warming" terrorists and other ecoterrorists!

You were over-generalising and making inane and innacurate comparisons. Again.
I don't think so! You have no hard scientific data. Whatever "evidence" you have supplied amounts to nothing more than journalists and politicians with an agenda supposedly quoting scientific speculation and calling it "science". Hardly convincing!

This applies to much of your behaviour too
Oh, so
your position and behavior are very sensible, I take it? Which is why you resort to hysterical name-calling and advocating the banning of your opponents when you lose arguments to them? Wow! I'm amazed at your rhetorical skills!
