I don't think daestrom is a "propagandist" in any way. Every post I've
seen from him has been professional, informed, and non-political. I
personally respect his opinion and read his posts very carefully, as I
usually learn a lot from them. From my observation, he has a careful,
analytic approach to issues, and is presently open minded on the subject
of AGW, which is where I started out. I asked for his opinion on the
paper, and he took the time to read it and make polite, detailed comments.
That deserves respect, not rude, childish insults.
