With the possible exception of Climate Depot, I find their tone, in the main, to be non-belligerent — a «nice change», in fact, from some of the warmist blogs I visit — where ad hominem, ridicule, condescension, unfounded accusations and
censoriousness toward dissenters (by the blog owners, not merely by visitors!)
On the other hand the pastoral counselor may tend
toward harsh
censoriousness or excessive roughness, trying to coerce change in others, forgetting kindness, and resorting to tactics of fear in order to force behavioral change on demand.
