So I started posting over at www.hugg.com.  A neat Digg like site for environmental stuff.  Well I've come to realize that many environmentalists are complete freaks and conspiracy nut jobs.  No wonder why environmentalists are thought of in a bad light.  Well generally speaking.  Take this post on Hugg... http://www.hugg.com/story/Chemtrails-Climate-Control-Conspiracy/ WTF?  contrails are now chemtrails?  I suppose that is somewhat right.  It does have some CO2 and NOx in it plus particulates.  But I don't think that's what they mean.  I think they are saying someone is dropping something from high altitudes down on us.  Which to me doesn't make much sense.  But I'm no atmospheric scientist.  Seems like that would stay airborne and thinned out before it reached the ground, if ever.  There are plenty of posts over there too that mention other conspiracy theories.  Anything from the oil companies to the auto companies.  And the government always seems to be in the middle.  So I guess I hate crazy conspiracy theory environmentalists.  That fits my hate for any extremism I suppose.

I also started posting at some Christian forum run by young people.  It's about equally frustrating.  Especially when trying to debate.  I'll admit I don't debate well, but I at least have something to back up my opinion or will go find it.  Not so here.  It's a far cry from the Ars forums.  Actually makes me miss that a bit.

UPDATE:
I think it is mostly this guy that gets me.  Look at his website.  http://scalarparty.livejournal.com/  How can you take that seriously?  You can't even read it.  And if you read any of his comments towards me on Hugg you'll see a real troll.  He does has some interesting things to say, but it is really hard to get to.  Ah well.  Hugg is a cool site.  They just need to fix the buggs and add some features.
