While hacking through my news feeds tonight, I came upon the following comment on the blog Rabett Run, in the post Rabett Run: A simple puzzler:
Monckton has now posted at WUWT asking for people to flood Abraham’s university with calls for disciplinary action. As a consequence, I have posted this:
We the undersigned offer unreserved support for John Abraham and St. Thomas University in the matter of complaints made to them by Christopher Monckton. Professor Abraham provided an important public service by showing in detail Monckton’s misrepresentation of the science of climate, and we applaud him for that effort, and St. Thomas University for making his presentation available to the world.
If you support Abraham, please visit Hot Topic and leave a comment in support.
Thinking that surely this must be a joke, I checked WUWT (a site I almost never read, as you might imagine), only to find the following Monckton in the post Abraham climbs down:
May I ask your kind readers once more for their help? Would as many of you as possible do what some of you have already been good enough to do? Please contact Father Dennis J. Dease, President of St. Thomas University, djdease@stthomas.edu, and invite him – even at this eleventh hour – to take down Abraham’s talk altogether from the University’s servers, and to instigate a disciplinary inquiry into the Professor’s unprofessional conduct, particularly in the matter of his lies to third parties about what I had said in my talk at Bethel University eight months ago? That would be a real help.
I can only imagine the level of stress that the mail server at St. Thomas University must be enduring.
If you’ve been following this situation and want to support John Abraham, please go to the post at Hot Topic linked above and leave a message to that effect. I honestly don’t know if a note to Father Dease would be helpful, but I plan to send one anyway.
Please note that because my connectivity will be very limited over the next few days, I am shutting off comments for this post.
