Sheep or shepherd?

Bishop Hill in Climate: Mann, Climate: other

I had an interesting exchange with Marshall Shepherd, President of the American Meteorological Society today. Marshall had tweeted as follows:

Marshall: learned n strange emails/blogs some disagree with my Talk, HockeyStick discredited (hasn't), & wx varies-gee "who knew"

In my usual polite way, I responded as follows:

Me: I attended a debate with a paleoclimate guy a few months ago. In q&a he was asked about hockey stick. He said "it's broken".

To which Marshall's response was this:

why don't you ask

and fyi, I generally don't debate anything that isn't published in the peer-review lit, best regards

Hardly a meeting of minds but it was all going rather well. Unfortunately at this point Mann himself joined in:

MichaelEMann @DrShepherd2013 Marshall, I don't engage disinformation-spewing trolls. It just encourages them...

Moments later, Shepherd blocked me.

Hmm.
