Hmmmm....

That Pluvia/Westergaard bounty issue has certainly
reached the highest levels of 'Kookdom'...

To bring everybody up to date:

Pluvia exposed truthful cases where the CEO was
providing false information. Westergaard, a paid
promoter for PLSIA, the company in question, issued
a bounty for Pluvia. Then, Westergaard explains that
Pluvia didn't say anything false but that he
just didn't like the way it was slanted. Hence, a
bounty was issued.

The vast majority of the thread has responded that the
tactics and logic are rather 'nazi'-like which led to
a spoofed rendition of the Westergaard newsletter:

Thankfully, Westergaard has supplied an interesting rendition
of history:

Who said the internet isn't an interesting source of entertainment?
Hope this isn't offensive to anyone -- the key issue is the bounty.
The bounty is completely abhorrent particularly in light of the
fact that Pluvia's statements are acknowledged as factual by the
perpetrator of the bounty. Anyway, that's my view, apologies in
advance.
