Mann sees himself as David to McIntyre's Goliath?

Amazon Kindle: A Highlight and Note by Tom Nelson from The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines
The David in the scenario (McIntyre) had the backing of the most powerful industry on Earth,5 while the Goliath (me) was a lowly assistant professor at a small public university
Flashback: Email 1811, July 2003, AGU's Public Information Manager brags about unleashing the AGU "publicity machine" to push Mann et al's climate hoax propaganda
We issued the press release at 3:40 p.m. EDT Monday, July 7. It was sent to 900 science writers worldwide on our distribution list and posted on EurekAlert!, the AAAS web site for science press releases.
Almost immediately, we received requests for the full article from The New York Times, USA Today, National Public Radio, Toronto Star, San Jose Mercury News, Cox Newspapers, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and four freelancers.

All someone needs to do is to look at the budgets of Steve McIntyre and Michael Mann and it will be clear to see who is David and who is Goliath. Of course, I have complete faith in Dr. Mann's capabilities that given the right statistical tools, he would distort the view to make it appear to be anything he wants it to be.
