People don't like opposing opinions and forecasts too much here. Many are thread nazis...just ignore them. Look at ncweatherwizard and the flak he is taking for maintaining his SC/NC/GA forecast from the get go. At least he is not changing his forecast based on public forum opinion and now even the NHC is trending towards that scenario.

The thread Nazi's as you put it in this case were the owners. The problem we had with the thread in question is that it spoke in absolutes which when we're this far out is just not prudent. There will be plenty of time to crow or eat crow after Frances is safely out of our hair. Climatology is great for understanding patterns and history but does nothing as far as predicting a current storm's track. Climatology would have said that Andrew would have recurved but it didn't. Climatology would have said that Charley wouldn't get pulled NE by a trough in August. Let's all look at the data and see what's happening before we start guaranteeing where a storm will or won't be....

I wouldn't call them thread nazis, but I have also noticed what I thought were moderators/owners with an extra helping of zeal.
