Not to offend, honestly, but how can an oil industry related blog not discuss the allegations and ramifications of global climate change in its proper context and inside the appropriate forum? Yes it's contentious but most important things are. Are we being told we're not sophisticated enough to understand and comment? I understand that the list owner "owns" the site and can do anything they want but I would think that while you provide the ven-ue, the posters here (especially those like Shannow) provide the val-ue.
