Happy holidays folks and I hope that those that find this time of year difficult have healthy means of coping.
Once it gets really bad/hurtful it does get easier just due to being stubborn about not letting it get to you.
(I stopped being bothered after my 3rd year coping plan got stopped in its tracks by a multi-day power outage that caused my water line and my heating line pig-tail running into the house to freeze up. No joke but my house got robbed/plundered a few days in. I decided that I needed to go with the flow after that - might as well as all of my plans were not enough.)
Cheers!

Looks like Judith Curry has been excluded from the climate science tribe:
Some consider her a heretic. According to Professor Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, a vociferous advocate of extreme measures to prevent a climatic Armageddon, she is ‘anti-science’. Curry isn’t fazed by the slur.
‘It’s unfortunate, but he calls anyone who doesn’t agree with him a denier,’ she tells me. ‘Inside the climate community there are a lot of people who don’t like what I’m doing. On the other hand, there is also a large, silent group who do like it. But the debate has become hard — especially in the US, because it’s become so polarised.’
There's one good side to what the speaker saw at the high school he visited: the boys are witnessing the groupthink and collectivist viciousness of the girls they go to school with.
Now, that's education!
After the girls go off to university -- and discover the guys don't seem to want to date them, and don't seem to want to marry them -- these little witches will be gathering in their covens to discuss what's wrong with men... and what institutional steps need to be taken to beat the crap out of them so they become willing to enter life-relationships in which they can be victimized and exploited by women.
Servant of god.

Amy, this article gives me hope: http://heterodoxacademy.org/2015/11/24/the-yale-problem-begins-in-high-school The comments therein do not.
Over a decade ago I coined the acronym "PVS" to describe "Permanent Victim Syndrome". I never dreamed it would become so deep-rooted and widespread.

Being a victim is now a way to unearned power over others.
