Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe

So I must be passive-aggressively trying to imply that he's a right wing shill, eh?

My agressiveness was not aimed at your information but rather the way that you put it. You "took the high road" by saying you "could" mention everything that you did, as if it was beneath you, and then mentioned it not mentioning it. So in essence you took the high road by not taking the high road at all. That was a passive-agressive response and is what drew my ire.

Also, the fact that you are doing research and continuing the debate is good, and was my whole point. Gore and his friends are attempting to squelch debate and critical thinking and believe that they can create fact through simply repeating their theory... THEORY... and their evidence over and over again. Then when a response to their claims is made, they simply dismiss it because its not what they think. This is not good for our country or for science.

And I'll swing my bat at anyone I please!!!
