His, and his acolytes, hounding of Mann for his defamation actions compared to his support for Monckton is just so 2 faced.! <br />One moment Monkton says he is big enough to hold his own in a slanging match, and then he starts threatening any blogger who mentions his stupid graph with costly court cases.<br />A few years back I too was accused of defamation (with about 30 other contributors to a blog). Demands of £16,000 for damages from me were made. A number paid up to £6000 to prevent court appearance. A few of us decided to go to court, and to keep costs down represented ourselves. We won despite the claimant hiring one of the best Queens councillors. The judge was particularly interested in over compensation, and if there was any damage to reputation actually done. I think Monkton will find it difficult winning as such cases have to show yhey are "worth the candle" of going through costly court trials (costly to the UK and to participants). Its a very scary business however! thefordprefecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210786222021457913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249983551893842827.post-44763382232037980222014-07-04T20:34:48.350+01:002014-07-04T20:34:48.350+01:00Ford,

In doing this Watts is lining up with Monckton against "our resident solar expert" as Watts described Svalgaard not long ago. <br /><br />This is weird even by Monckton standards. The Noble Viscount has decided to take it upon himself to threaten with litigation anybody who he deems to be insulting this David Evans character, who is, so he assures us, about to unveil a theory that climate change is all due to changes in the sun - nothing to do with the Greenhouse Effect. In other words he's a "dragon-slayer" - just the sort that Watts inveighed against a little while ago for giving"skepticism" a bad name. This is one strange volte-face by Watts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
