Speak for yourself. I am here to have constructive discussions on LENR.

For convenience sake can you please share the dimensions of said bucket please Jed.

Hmm, appears Mary is getting a bit hot and bothered here though I agree with her assessment on evaporating water here. Mary, suggest you leave the emotion out of this and point out the facts to Jed. I am trying to compile some information to share on this matter too.

Quote from Zeus46

If only you could find someone who is a world-class expert in calorimetry. I think then all our problems would be solved.

We should try and find just such a person. Someone with solid experience in calorimetry.

At the risk of being banned, I will say it again, there is no conspiracy against LENR. There never has been. It is simple to prove LENR conclusively and this has yet to be done, despite what you say Jed. And yes, during my ban I did spend much time reviewing the documentation you pointed me to. Unfortunately it comes down to the same issue over and over again. Calorimerty.

No, I did not know that. I asked questions about calorimetry and the likes and you guys got upset. It's all good though. You've accepted you have no issues with my line of questioning so I will continue.

Quote from Eric Walker

You are not finding it difficult to express skepticism here. You are finding it difficult to troll here.

My questions about calorimetry, in particular placement and insertion of probes, is totally valid. I cannot see how this is construed as trolling behavior.

Quote from Eric Walker

I feel like we're the only LENR site on the Internet where both skeptics and the hard core Rossi followers feel the same way about this.

Yes, as a skeptic I do find it hard difficult to express my thoughts here.

Quote from interested observer

I am not sure ECN warrants wistful nostalgia. It, of course, began as a Rossi fan site and skeptical opinions were regularly banned by the proprietor. Eventually, he lost the faith and became completely hands-off. It became the only completely unmoderated site on the topic and, unsuprisingly, was pretty chaotic and often degenerated into lengthy abuse sessions. As Roger observed, if nothing else it certainly was entertaining at times. Over time, the population skewed heavily towards skeptics and the remaining believers were primarily the angriest hardcore Rossiphiles who apparently enjoyed the give-and-take and the experience of spending time in the lions' den. I suppose for them it was pretty much the equivalent experience to being a skeptic here.

A lions den you say? Nah, it was nothing like that. It was a joyous place which I enjoyed so! I wasn't a regular contributor, more an observer. Perhaps I was an interested observer? Hmm, makes me wonder. Any ways ECN was a place for much mutual doling of praise. If Popeye posted something you would then have NTAK jump in and give him a face-full of praise. That would be followed by JKW, Mary Yugo, Pweet etc. Much doling of praise. Each got his or her turn. They enjoyed that very much.

Quote from Thetruemonty

What about you open your own ECN-like forum? So all can be like it once was...

That does sound like a good idea though I wonder if the regulars would turn up.

Quote from damn_right _man

... that's true. The st..d mot.....r Acland banned me, because I was critical. But not personal. At least not to him, maybe to axil because of his connectionless brindges which he also continues to build in here, but that's not wrong in my opinion.

You think Frank Ackland is a Stud Motor? Weird.

Did you post at ECN? That was the place to be! We had so much fun there. There were many high caliber posters there e.g. Popeye, Jami, NTAK, and of course our very own Mary Yugo. The conversation threads were very enthralling and you could just picture it in your mind the way they were all sitting around discussing LENR in detail. You know, really discussing it, with passion.

It's not the same since ECN shutdown. I was very upset as I am sure many others were. I wasn't really a regular at ECN though. I was more an observer, not a participant. I preferred more 1 on 1 sessions ...

LOL!

I was much of the same but gave up on Rossi a long time ago. His promises become more and more grandiose but he delivers nothing.

You do remember the whole Defkalion fiasco, don't you? It's safe to say that was the turning point of the whole saga. It became Rossi's word from then.

As I said it's Alan's prerogative but does make it hard difficult if you cannot express yourself.

Shane D.

If I remember correctly you were a fan of Rossi and defended him steadfastly on ECN. Is this still the case? Where do you stand now on Rossi? Where do you stand now on LENR in general?

That is not a nice thing to say Shane. Why are you baiting Eric and Alan?

Well said Shane. Why would Levi not defend his report? What is the point of preparing the report and then not fielding questions. It would be great if Alan could find out why this happened.

Hmmm, ECW is a highly censured website. I do not post there as they don't like LENR being questioned. The best website for LENR discussion was ECN. A pity it was shutdown. Many posters from LENR forum posted there. In fact ECN accumulated tens of thousands of quality posts. I'd sneak in an ode or two but most of the time I just enjoyed watching the regulars go at it. Very interesting to watch ...

If Levi and Rossi speak I would say they would be talking about the old days when Defkalion was involved. Was it not Levi who approached Rossi about engagement with Defkalion?

Quote from Alan Smith

I suggest that discussion is possible. But next time you transgress banishment will be permanent. And please stop putting the word 'hard' in bold. It is a juvenile habit.

Thank you for allowing me to post on your forum. LENR is an important technology if it works out but I have my doubts about this as per concerns around calorimetry. I shall take up these discussions with JedRothwell in good time.

Unfortunately meanings are lost when discussions are had in forums. That's why we have mechanisms in place to enhance speech. I feel very strongly about certain things which is why I bold face them. I cannot see why you find this juvenile but that's your prerogative. Is it OK if I ask you from time to time about whether certain methods of expressing oneself is allowed? I would not want to find myself banned again just because I wrote something that did not agree with yourself or Eric Walker
