They will defend it by going after the messenger, you watch...

"University officials confirmed the data breach, which involves more
than 1,000 e-mails and 3,000 documents, but said they could not say how
many of the stolen items were authentic."

This is priceless!

If you weren't a skeptic before you should be now.

BTW, I've been banned from Mikey Mann's Blog.

Welcome to the club. *:)

Then again, I wouldn't be a member of any club who would have me as a
member.

Tom, I've been kicked out of some clubs I started... so, don't feel
alone.

Mann and Jones behavior in all of this has been really sleazy. Just
about any real scientist (even us commercial scientists) welcome
criticism of our work because then we can make it better. We try to
keep away from personal attacks and realize that sometimes our critics
are simply correct. Yeah, we all have egos but if you try to cover up
questionable stuff, it just spirals out of control and you really end
up looking foolish. Yes, I sometimes think my professional critics
are being jerks but you have to keep up the pretense of civility,
otherwise you end up looking stupid.
You NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put things into e-mail that you would be
ashamed to be published. You do not say such things on the phone
either. Save it for times when you can be absolutely sure you are
alone with someone else and even then be professional about it,
otherwise it'll come back to bite you. Sometimes I hear my employees
say nasty things about some company that has done us wrong and I tell
em to watch what they say.
There are people who have really done me wrong but whenever I see them
at conferences, I always greet them in a friendly manner (but watch
what I say to them) because this impresses people. When I hear
something bad has happed to them, I make sure I make it known they
have my best wishes although in reality I may wish for em to die. It
is just good PR.
I am almost astonished at the foolishness of these guys in the e-
mails. It is either a case of arrogantly thinking they are immune to
blowback or simple foolishness to such an extent that I would doubt
their judgement on anything.
