1 How does Tim know what is and isn’t mainstream science, if
2 he himself is not a scientist and teaches computer graphics and hasn’t published in his own field for around a decade.
If Tim has published in his own field during that time we would appreciate the links and other citations.
And has it escaped Tim the only reason it may have been published WAS because it was a competition entry and the piece may not have cut the editorial mustard otherwise. This exhibits narcissism in the most objectionable level.
<i>Graham Young, OLO chief editor, showed up in the discussion to abuse me and declare that OLO should not have published it because he disputed one of the points I made. I suspect that this has something to do with OLO's bias on climate science.</i>
No Tim, it has probably a lot to do with the fact that Young may have found your piece to be dissembling and possibly doesn’t like your bullying tactics at other sites (as well as your own). This after all isn’t the first time you have been accused. In fact people have created a word after your name- to lambert-, which is supposed mean to dissemble, dishonestly present a position and to bully.
<i>He continues in this vein in the current article, calling me a "bully" and a "tick" because I dare to express opinions he disagrees with.</i>
No, Tim, he describes you that way because you are.
<i>If you want to see the sort of thing that Young objects to, see my post on Aitkin's Ockham's razor piece:</i>
You should also point to post or a comment where you said that if one tosses a coin a 1,000 the likelihood is that close to 50% would be heads. You have a degree in mathematics. This is probability at it most basic.
And please stop referring to your blog as a science blog as that is completely dishonest. You are not a scientist and have no credentials in science. If you do, please present them.
