   Nope, you STILL haven't identified a single fact you want to claim isn't   
   a fact!   
      
   You just mindlessly -- your mental disorder in play -- throw out a   
   blanket rejection!  You really think I invented NASA? You honestly   
   truly think NOAA subscribes to "Bolide Forcing" with the Younger Dryas   
   cooling?   
      
   Are these the things your idiotic excuse for a mind are claiming?   
      
   If not, specify. Identify precisely WHAT you want to challenge, WHAT   
   you want to pretend isn't established.   
      
   You're a faker.   
      
   You cower behind some fake "Dawn" sock puppet so you can pretend you're   
   not really a stupid retard. But you are. You don't even dare try!
