I don't know whether it's relevant, but I noticed this thread quoted in another section of the forum in that interval.
Strictly speaking, Jack did not acknowledge either the viciousness in the thread title and his claim that "the EPA needs adult supervision. It would appear the EPA itself is more life-threatening to many Alaskans than are most natural phenomena," nor the dishonesty in maintaining those claims for ten pages in the face of all evidence. Only that he was 'wrong.'
But that's still better than nothing, where many others would have simply let the thread rest in peace
