Clearly, even the Guardian comments, where the most blatant double standards applied (anyone could delete anything sceptic … but no one could delete anything pro … and it was filled with lurking trolls who worked as teams to provoke the sceptic into getting banned) even the Guardian is now so filled with sceptics that they’ve had to ban comment or risk having their junk journalism continuously shown up for its hypocrisy and economy of truth.
