Mosh,
Still thinking about moves and games. But basically, my point was that there is a need to distinguish levels: moves are posts, comments, tweets, etc. At this level we could have a tactical analysis, if we accept that tactics lies at the contact point between the players.
shub,
Thank you for your comment on my exchange with Richard Drake, allowing you to stay quiet on factual errors from his part while probing my mind.
/1. To use a concept I know you appreciate [1], we can interpret gatekeeping as a function of an in-crowd. This function does seem to characterize quite well an activity that is not unlike what is being hinted in this remark above:
Almost looks like they are ganging up on him.
Wink wink, of course.
The freedom of my wandering has little to do with the concept of gatekeeping [2]. A freedom which is conditional to our beloved Bishop’s editorial deleaturs, which are now subreptitiously less invisible in a most recent thread than therein.

Bart R,
Quite frankly, I could not care less about trendology, dubious or not. My agreement or disagreement on that subject matter is of no relevance whatsoever. So you do as you please there: I trust your honor.

[Howard reminisces on the last hurly burly.]
I love it. Reminds me of High School where Frank Zappa meets Salvidor Dali while geeks play the Jock and Cheerleader roles. Who cares who did what. HI and the WUWT peanut gallery are moronic cranks more interested in politics. Maybe some of the political CAGW moronic cranks juiced a HI memo. We must get to the bottom of this!
Mosher is pretending to apply rigorous scientific analysis and ethics to solve the worlds greatest mystery in another effort to hide a pathetic Napoleonic complex. At the same time, Joshua is pretending to be Rodney King playing the Wizard of Oz. You two should get a sitcom… it practically writes itself.
All this BS deserves are personal attacks, worn-out cliches and random namedropping.
[NB. I don’t share Howard’s editorial practices, and the hurly burly reminds me of Megamind more than anything else, one can appreciate the acuteness of the pathos expressed.]

Deech56,
Yes, our Miracle Worker seemed to know how to exploit WP weaknesses. The only way I see to promote the hypothesis that our Miracle Worker is a whistleblower would be to drown Gavin’s testimony into “lots of theories”.
