   Why would you accuse Lucia of censorship when you post a comment on her blog that is totally irrelevant to the thread?

   If you want people to comment at your own blog, don’t act bizarre when posting at other blogs. Stick to the issues of the given thread, Steve, and save the censorship accusations for the actual instances.

   [Reply : Are you joking? My post was about Arctic ice. The thread was named “hot-pepper-haiku-nh-ice-open-thread” and there were quite a few posts on that thread trashing my forecasts.]

   Here are a few of the earlier posts on that thread :

   as world gets cooler and cooler, my advice would be for a goulash. red hot peppers are one of the few things, that can give it the right taste. (i personally don t like too many onions in it)

   anyone who can take the heat, should as always take a look at WuWt and the latest of Steven Goddard’s false claims about the sea ice.

   “to stick to the sea ice facts:
   .
   The latest value : 5,552,188 km2 (August 24, 2010)
   .
   let us see, when and by how much it beats Steve and whether it beats 2009…”
   Would you care to prognosticate on Senator John Kerry’s July 2010 prediction that the arctic will be ice free in 5 to 10 years?
   http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/69845
   Big money is riding on the prediction…billions will need to be spent to expand northern sea ports and billions more will need to be invested in container ships suitable for the ‘ice free arctic sea route’. If its’ only 5 years away then the decisions need to be taken now.
   I want to invest my retirement savings…who should I believe…the powerful Senator John Kerry, who by virtue of his position has access to the worlds top experts on arctic sea ice or Steve Goddard, blogger?

   Read the article: The expert Muyin Wang tells us Kerry’s estimate is the extreme case scenario and seems to suggest outcomes between what the blogger Goddard suggests and what Kerry suggests.
   Kerry, a politician, may have access to experts. That doesn’t mean he a) really consults them, b) listens to what they say, c) avoids spin or d) knows much about what he says in speeches.
   For many, may reasons– including the tendency to spin — powerful people occupying elected often are often very poor sources of scientific information, particularly those involving predictions.
   Anyway, if you think Kerry is a good source because he is powerful political figure who, “by virtue of his position has access to the worlds top experts on arctic sea”, what of Inhofe?

   Should be written “Steven Goddard” as its apparently not his real name, or so the rumour goes.
   I suspect that “Carrot Eater” is not a person’s real name either.

   sea ice dropped below the 2005 minimum yesterday.
   .
   The latest value : 5,301,406 km2 (September 2, 2010)
   .
   third lowest sea ice extent on record. (and area looks even worse)
   .
   here are the important numbers again:
   .
   1) The extent will fall below Steve’s 5.5 million sq. km. forecast.
   2) The extent will fall below Sept. 22, 2005?s low of 5,315, 156 sq. km.
   3) The extent will fall below Sept. 13, 2009?s low of 5,249,844 sq. km.
   .
   but facts do not stop Steven Goddard. he is spreading the same misinformation on his own blog now.

   My June Arctic ice forecast continues to be right on track.
   .

   if you read Lucia you would know about the automated system used to stick comments in moderation. You would have followed the discussions she has with her readers about the automated tools she uses and the way you score good karma points and bad karma points. But you refuse to educate yourself.

   She is not wobbling. She has established a set of tools and rules that are based on the content of the comment ( links/no links too many links. prohibited words etc) and based on your personal commenting history. So, you attributed motives to her having no possession of the facts.

     Weird that all those cheap shots against me got through, including yours.
