Also the climate gate emails, I had read a couple of them where Mann himself was saying to limit data to certain people because he was unsure what side they were on.
Scientists are people, but not all people are scientists. Besides, we were talking about CORE DATA, which is and has been freely available, not the in-process work of researchers, which usually doesn't get shared with anyone outside the group until publication, if then - in any field. I've read a number of papers in my areas (not climate science) that I would have liked to get more information on, but couldn't.
