It's just frustrating because he presented himself as an expert in statistics, then chastises people who point out his errors and misrepresentations of statistical theory and the applications of statistics.
He isnt.
He claims to be a PhD in astrophysics. He isnt.
Don't worry. If you'd ever like to rap about stats I'm down, and do have a MS in it....there are several other posters here that know their shite too. Just Ignore him.

Basically, at that point, I knew he was a joke and pretty much haven't even discussed AGW with him since. He doesn't know anything more than how to use Google to find responses.

Yeah. I definitely enjoy these discussions. My university offered graduate students in other fields a minor or an MS in statistics. I ended up getting the MS because I liked the courses, think it is a great skill set to have, and it makes me more marketable in my own field. And although I feel competent enough to identify inaccuracies and misrepresentations (e.g., Tuba in this thread), I realize that I am far less knowledgeable and experienced in many of these areas compared to you and other posters (Taxing Authority seems to know a lot about complex modeling). Anyways, it's usually a good learning experience.
