When I was slandered by others, it consisted of false accusations made to undermine the credibility of our findings. But eventually that backfired, because others independently verified our results. As it turned out, the slandering party eventually ended up with reduced credibility, because their slander came from an obvious conflict of interest.
Sig, just so you understand, I've always sensed that you were honest in your assertions and in your positions. I've never doubted that. Though we have never met, and perhaps never will, much can be learned of someone through their writings.
And I'll also admit that Rossi sometimes takes liberties with the truth. Understand, however, that Rossi is a rough and tumble industrialist. I view you as more of a sophisticated and smart grant-funded researcher.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that you have owned and run companies, hired employees and made payroll each week, negotiated multi-million $ contracts, risked your life savings on an invention, just to name a few that Rossi has done. These kinds of experiences shape a person into who they are. And the reality is, to be successful in business, you must often run false flags, dupe, and stoop. And Rossi is good at it. It doesn't mean he is a "con" man or inherently bad. It takes all types to make the world go 'round, and a particular type to save it.
"But eventually that backfired, because others independently verified our results. As it turned out, the slandering party eventually ended up with reduced credibility, because their slander came from an obvious conflict of interest."
Right. I hope for you and comrades that you haven't spoken too soon.
