[Laden] There is not, as you know, a valid denialist position. It isn't like there are some "good" denialists who legitimacy question the science. There are just people who are either crazy old men who want everybody off their lawn (again, see above) or people who are very strongly politically motivated, or who are being paid off to carry out harassment of people supporting the science (see above). Why did he not take the comment with the link off line and contact the police? Was he in on it? Did he take this as an opportunity to finish an (illegal) act that someone else started? Maybe. Did he do the right thing? No. If that link was to a set of instructions leading people to carry out a violent crime, rather than the endpoint of systematic harassment, he'd be culpable. I am not interested in excuses.
I think he's a criminal for being a climate denialist. Sue me.
