Professor under attack

I see that Sinclair Davidson noted in his Open Forum yesterday that people have complained to his tertiary institution about various things:


That makes the complaints sound very ill founded, yet in the bigger picture, he deserves to be pilloried at every opportunity for running a blog full of offensive swill. 

Update:  typical example - from today, aviation expert "Tom":
Boeing’s mistake is selling its aeroplanes to Third World airlines employing Third World trash as pilots 
 Stand proud, Sinclair.  Stand proud.

It may not be that hard for someone to have Davidson in serious trouble. At present I suspect complainants are focused on specific instances but if someone bothered to collate a number comments it could create a serious problem for him.

I don't like it and I don't want to see Davidson lose his job over comments on a blog but he needs to remember that the law is an ass and some asshole out there might decide to seriously go after him.

If you wish I might put that to the test. After all you have forever banned me and revenge is sweet. :)

Yeah, Sinclair - you're not your brother's keeper, you're just their facilitator.

You basically run the joint like Facebook for dimwits who want to make comments too offensive to be published on any "legit" Right wing forum - how many times have I read them complaining that they won't bother commenting at Bolt's or The Australian because moderation hasn't let their comments through?

But sexism, misogyny, racism and intense anti-Muslim sentiment get virtually free rein from you, with a shrug of your shoulders. Yeah, a real service you're providing there.

Incidentally, why don't you personally post about climate change anymore? You outsource denialism and renewable catastrophism to others now, because your own little stats test approach of encouraging denialism hasn't worked for a number of years now?

Pretty cowardly, if you ask me.

"because your own little stats test approach"

Two points - not my test. Phil Jones invented the test - I replicated his test. The specific data set that he used got discontinued.
