A doom claimant every year of their adult life need not ever be right in their lifetime to be a doomer. Of course, others have a different name for someone so....touched....

No., I have an objection over someone reversing his arguments from one post to the next.  You can't have it both ways.  You argue like Trumpolini with Iran from one post on Truth Social to the next.  First he says he  won the war, then he says we gotta keep bombing them.  First he says Hormuz should be open, then he blockades it himself.  First you say you charge, then you say you give it away.  Same stupid methodology.  It just demonstrates your hypocrisy.

Oh please. You might specialize in knowing this topic from personal interest, but I have explained what and why I do what I do, and why the long time doomers are of professional interest.

I educate, I tease, I test. I get banned for daring to question herdthink among the faithful. <shrug>

You wanted to get paid for pitching doom on a website similar to how some others seemed to have accomplished, as you've mentioned on that wordpress site of yours. A tangible result of your interest in doom. I get paid for knowing things in my niche, and when the internet came along that ended up including all the half baked arguments, misrepresentations, presumptions from a position of ignorance, ill-conceived nonsense that touched topics in my area of expertise.

I see no confusion here as to why I hang out on the internet for entertainment, joke material (while attempting to seperate the serious from the un-serious so as to know who to focus on) to weave into a professionals tale of how hydrocarbon resource depletion plays out, when, where and how.

I don't do boring academic presentations. I've got one scheduled in 2 weeks, working on it now. You once wanted a tangible result of your personal interest. I acquired it almost by accident. I credit the difference to mostly perspective. Yours is that of an educated enthusiast, mine is that of a professional scientist. No incongruity between why I do what I do online, and how I use it professionally.

Depends on wht you beleive "it" is.

This is completely accurate, regardless of whether or not you like the statement. I lectured for years on why they hadn't thought it through. You object because obviously a "troll" knew more than the combined might of what was once a vibrant website, the combined ability of which was to be stump stupid because they couldn't even be bothered to THINK when I gave them directions on how to become informed.

As I said before, the internet has taught me quite a bit about people in general, and those inclined towards doom specifically.

No, you get banned because you are a narcissistic, self important jackass.  Your entire existence on the net is one long, non-stop brag about how much you know about the oil industry.  It's your claim to fame which you only interupt long enough to sneer at other oil experts who are more famous than you and get quoted more often than you do.  Nobody really cares what you think here or how much money you make or how many EVs you have, we only tolerate your presence because you are the perfect example of the kind of scumbag that makes this country such an awful place to be associated with.  The ultimate example of the Ugly Amerikan.
