A bunch of weather geeks went outside during a severe T-storm. Imagine that!
Dude was the only weird element there from what people told me. We've had several conferences and the hotel staff loved us and actual guests would come over and asked questions or join in to convo. Of course they said the hobby was odd, but so do our own families and friends. Most everyone that has attended was down to earth, normal folks...doctors, lawyers, teachers, blue collar workers, you name it. We just all loved weather. We had "weirdo" presenters like Tom Skilling, Bob Ryan, Paul Kocin (numerous times) Ucellini, Wes (used to be), a few other NWS mets, NHC folks.
Keep in mind, he called you and all mets here junk scientests. In case he tries to walk it back, it's right here in this thread a few pages back. He shit on your profession and said it's basically model rip and read and that he can do better.
I honestly wouldn't give him any regard. He's really bitter over a member criticizing his posts. Really odd and unhinged behavior.
