The Playground

Seems like a good time to check in. Been busy. Lots of activity and fun right now.
What - did you guys miss me or something?

Sifferkoll's latest fabrications are such a stretch that his Gumby snapped.

As I stated earlier - I'm sitting tight while some additional developments take place.

In the interim, the good guys are moving the ball down the field!!

Ciao, Ciao!

This is a very sharp attacks on Rossi, however, may not be well-founded. If someone does something surely will reach sharp attacks. The cause of such sharp reactions usually can be conflict of interest. I'm not sure it is fair intentions in the background.

Quote from sifferkoll

Thomas published an article in his name challenging the Lugano Report and requested the academics in Uppsala/Bologna to read, consider and comment on it as if it was an academic paper. In that context Thomas CV is certainly essential. Don't you agree?

Only the argument is important, not the CV. Appeal to authority and ad hominem fallacies depend on the CV, science depends on the reasoning and the data.

Yes Dewey I was wondering if you got by surprise when siffer found new author in ecn, but seemingly not then. But looks like Rossis 'Ciaos' has sticked on you in recent days? Can you confirm did Quark work or not?

Since someone brought up the football analogy, let's frame it this way (assuming the American version of the sport).

If there is a real test underway right now then it is highly likely that Lucy put the football down AGAIN, and another Charlie Brown is running up to try and kick it. Expecting the same results momentarily.

BTW - did you see that Mats is looking for work?

Dewey- I also went out in the sun. A lot of folks here could use the fresh air. While you were out, somehow we lost Thomas Clarke due to some doxxing.
Skifferoll - I also went out in the sun. I think you had a hand in the doxxing.

I want to be fair to both sides here. I hate to break up a good conspiracy theory. LENR is being followed by that are enthusiasts that work 9-5 jobs in places like Grumman, World Bank etc. Some enthusiasts a.k.a. tech geeks, even live in Saudi Arabia.
Harvesting email addresses and IP addresses together is a form of doxxing. And doxxing is bad okay? Notice no personal attacks. Your website says that your email will not be published but somehow Thomas Clarke's was. Do you want to be accused of operating a honeypot?
Then the question of why he was doing it where he is employed and does his employer know this info. This is over the top. So stop that okay?
But the use of IP logs to show statistical data is fair game. Please discern the difference.

It is very possible that people are following links to find out more about LENR by going to your site. It is how I found it. Maybe use it to further LENR (something we both agree on). But if you want to go full conspiracy theory it's your blog. Just don't doxx.

Summer is almost here in the Northern hemisphere, go outside more.

Rigel - what website? What is a doxx? Harvesting IP addresses? What in the hell are you talking about?

Sifferkoll: Shame on you. For someone with professional experience in the internet world, you should know that doxxing is a big no-no. And you are using the e-mail address Thomas registered on your site? That's really shady.

Moderators: Please remove any email address, personal info, links, that were posted about Thomas. Also please ban or temp ban Sifferkoll. This is unacceptable behavior.

Thomas: If I were you I would probably remove all my posts, delete my account, and either leave or start under a new account. I guess you know to be more careful with your info from now on.

I suspected that some E-Cat related websites were harvesting emails and IP addresses (and on a few occasions more than these) but I didn't expect this from the Sifferkoll blog.

EDIT: To clarify: I'm aware that the owner has been doing this for quite some time with traffic logs, but on identifiable user comments it's not a very polite thing to do.

What some people and the moderators don't seem to understand, is that so far Thomas was enjoying a state of semi-anonymity here even though he is using his real name.

Once his details are posted, anyone can google his name+workplace and stumble upon this forum.

Who's next?

I can't even trust this forum not to use my registered email address and google my info since the moderators don't seem to think it is unnacceptable behavior

@peterE: Sifferkoll®'s name is common knowledge unless you are either a johnny-come-lately, or you haven't been paying attention. It begins with a T.

But that is not important... It's time for...

colwyn-
I hope you are right on TC. I really think he is just as hooked as the rest of us our in this pursuit of LENR. Hank is a decent author and has a thick skin, he won't leave.
3a and 3b. Not sure on what this means.
But 4- The shainababy id sent me a personal message on the board to follow her to hotmail. Maybe this id was hacked.

My beliefs on this have been clear, LENR is real, Rossi is cooking his tests. If he had something that even partially worked the tests would not be setup so rigidly to ensure the desired results. There would not be a need to. But everyone on both sides has to admit he puts on a good show of it. An 11.5 million dollar show at that.

I think a few of us feel the same. I think you need to tighten up, make a public statement either in support of Rends or 'carrying out a 'damage limitation exercise' and clarifying policy. Is our privacy to be respected? If we say something you do not like will you publish links to our private details? Why do you moderators take different stances on this, first deleting Thomas's private details then re instating them? Can you tell us why we should trust you with our privacy?

Quote from Rends

I am defending the freedom of speech, not any person, or statement, because the freedom of speech is in a public discussion, where all participants came together on their own will,like here, the higher principle than good taste. No ones privacy was harmed!

Is Rends statement a fair reflection of Forum policy, I sent you my CV when I joined because I trusted you to keep it private, will you publish it. Perhaps I should not say anything controversial, maybe you will not publish it then!

Best regards
Frank

Quote from Keieueue

The person posting under the nick Thomas Clarke went on Sifferkoll's blog to spread FUD, as usual, and left his e-mail. Would you imagine? this person's name is really Thomas Clarke! What a twist!

Now you accuse Sifferkoll of doxxing this shill (paid or…

There's 822 Tom/Thomas Clarke on Linkedin. Therefore, even by using his real name, Thomas was semi-anonymous here. Now people can google his name+employer and find his posts on the forum.

Supposedly Sifferkoll took the registration e-mail Thomas used on his website and used that to find his docs. Then posted the info here. How is that not doxxing?

Do you give permission to the moderators here to take your registration e-mail and post any info they find on google?

If the email was gained elsewhere by pure sleuthing, is it fair game ?
If the email was known by doxxing, but then confirmed by sleuthing is it fair game there ?
If the email was simply doxxed ?
If the same person sleuths and did not doxx, but has already made a promise not to publish an email that is theoretically available, and publishes the email is that fair game ?

@Paradigmnoia None of that is fair game

sifferkoll quote "Well, sorry to be the bringer of bad news about the cake then; it doesn't work. If you want to be really anonymous and still post comments, you need to work like your friend Frank on ECN; use proxys and anonymized mail to enter. As an example Frank uses multiple web proxys on different continents and mailnesia.com (Panama registered). He needs to do this since he cleverly releases what is very very likely insider information. Like the Fabiano leak to make IH as the partner known without going official. Frank then immidiately started to slander Fabiano ... etc "

No it does not work like that, infact you are killing your reputation and your blogs. People from all walks of life and locations are looking for LENR news period. I shutter to imagine if you sold t-shirts like ECW does. And had someones credit card information. Why can't you see how credibility works? Having a strong opinion is not the issue, most employers are very specific on what you can do with private information on the web. Get your ego out of it and step back, take a look around.
