Gore criticized for overusing electricity

Dallas Blog | Carolyn Barta:
“A day after former Vice President Al Gore won an Academy Award for his documentary on global warming, he was criticized by a conservative group that claims his Nashville mansion uses too much electricity.”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Dallas Blog censors readers' comments. Tom Pauken sometimes explains that comments are censored when they contain ad hominem attacks. Yet, here is an article published by Dallas Blog itself that amounts to nothing more than an ad hominem attack on Al Gore. Rather than refute Al Gore's thesis that global warming is real, that humans are a significant cause, and that the problem is serious, some "conservative group" (so described by Dallas Blog) decided to attack Al Gore himself. And Dallas Blog runs the story without a hint of irony.
