(11,138 posts)Have you people forgotten Nadin completely? Does no one remember the ridiculous claims she would make and then BURN WITH FIRE anyone who pointed out that what she was claiming simply wasn't possible? Does no one recall how she claimed to be an expert on everything from Disaster Response to Marine Science (and everything in between) even though she she never knew the first thing about any of those topics?
How about the time she insisted that over 6 feet of hail had fallen on a city in Mexico, but we never knew it because our media wouldn't report it? Not "crunchy" enough she would say. Her ignore list grew by twenty that day at least. Oh, yes, that was the thread where she insisted that there were 60cm in a meter. All while holding herself forth as the Science expert.
Or how about breathlessly reporting that a wind turbine had tossed one of it's blades a mile away? It was of course shown to her to be impossible but all she did was snarl at anyone who suggested otherwise, then decided to argue instead that wind farms cause cancer. Somehow.
Then there was the time she declared that an armed revolution was clearly underway in Mexico because she COULDN'T COMPLETE A FUCKING PHONE CALL.
There are quite literally dozens of example like these. Hell, most of you were here; you know it's true.
She posted here at DU for a long time and yes, there were a few posters who, after reading mountains of her journalistic stylings, were less than kind in telling her that they found her opinions to be a little light on logic. I wasn't one of those, but I can certainly understand why she irritated people the way she did. Praising her now, for being right about Fukushima (which she wasn't BTW), makes me wonder if some folks aren't engaging in reminiscing through rose-colored glasses. Or beer goggles.
