Pretty much nobody is pure as the wind-driven snow. That is another tactic in their bag of tricks... anyone who questions their findings gets an anal exam and they'll come up with something to "prove" he's conspiring with those wascally oil companies. As if merely being "on the side" of an oil company automatically makes you a worthless liar. If that's the case, then pretty much every poll or piece of grant-funded research must be equally suspect, if we're being fair, because all of those things are also funded by someone with an agenda. Are we truly questioning facts, or just taking an easy opportunity to dismiss someone who disagrees? Yeah, I can agree that motives can be suspect sometimes.

I think I need to do a better job of being respectful even if I don't agree with things. You had a really good point with the intentions bit! Pretty frustrating, I’ll agree.
