Dewey Weaver is connected in some way with IH. He may have explained this privately, but I don't remember the details and I'm not going to look it up, because ... it would be private! He is providing "information" in dribs and drabs and hints. I do not interpret this as representing IH in any way. Rather, Dewey is not a "grizzled internet veteran" and this kind of on-line flaming is new for him, if I'm correct
Most of the posts of this Dewey person -who is supposed to be much more than a random Joe with time to lose online, what proof is there he's who he pretends to be?- could be created by a bot: directed sarcasm + supporting his pals. A cutting-edge software with good parsing capabilities could do that, imo.
Also, his vitriol is clearly the product of a thousand internet wars, his flaming is up to par with the best there are.
So, few possibilities:
- A buttmad investor with too much time to spend online, and boiling rage; but why so irate? IH has other LENR projects, also 11m dolla is not a lot for those kind of businesses. People like him didn't become who they are by brooding over failures they are not even responsible of.
- Computer-assisted online trolling, by some social engineer POS told to impersonate this person, or this person himself, who then merely has to check if the bot performs well, and put out from time to time a more human-sounding post.
It may also be that this person is closer to a bot, in his inner workings, than a human being, which could explain all this (except the time lost debating on a fringe forum)
Call me a tinfoil hatter all you want, but the way this Dewey expresses himself is completely akin to the fashion in which trolls sent all over the internet to discredit fringe subjects, convey FUD
