I wasn't really referring to you with that post, you're usually one of the more reasonable guys in these discussions.
But just wanted to state for the record that Blackmon's MO is defending Big Oil, gas companies, ranchers, etc, at all costs and curse those evil regulators in pretty much everything he writes. And in that excerpt you posted he does actually make some pretty huge assumptions while using the language of fact - "obvious conclusion" "key facts" "clear expectation" - which again has always been his technique in Forbes as an industry shill.
I don't really have a dog in this one, IMO there are plenty of bigger fish to fry in the industry/land-use conflict arena... it's more just the 1000th time I see Infowars and Natural News being used as objective evidence... just smh.
