our last several posts suggest that you are frothing at the mouth.
Hmm, why do I get the feeling you're talking about yourself?

Same bovine excrement as Rossi pushed out in 2011. One thing the Rossi crowd is good at: recycling garbage. And apparently that sh*t still smells sweet to the Acland and Lewan crowd. Levi, on the other hand, far as is known, has been very quiet as have the "Swedish scientists" who originally tried to reproduce Rossi's hot cat claims.
But, hey!!! Why are you so surprised? And why so agitated? Just a couple of minutes ago you wrote in another thread that it was actually your prefered strategy to harass (more or less) everyone connected to Rossi!!! So in my opinion you're successfull! Aren't you happy?
Operating a nuclear reactor without inspection
Oh, so in this case it is a nuclear reactor. Is that because "Rossi says"? I somehow got the idea you believed him not to be trustworthy?
But professors should be prevented
Exactly how? It actually sounds, even though you dont want to comment, that you are advocating some kind of informant system to ensure only the teachings of your liking are spread?
It is directed at all the people who have been singing that tune for 8 years. What to do about it? Let me turn the question around. What exactly is it that people should not do but instead should wait and see? Point out how utterly obvious it is that Rossi is a fraud? Boo hoo. There is plenty of sand in Florida where you can stick your head if you feel the need.
Well, "wait and see" could be the answer of course. And keep singing the same song Boo hoo bla bla Rossi bla bla fraud bla bla (with limited success so far) could be another ... just curious on what you expect to achieve?
What someone else is in fact doing. He's reporting Rossi's claimed activities to the Florida regulatory authorities because those activities, if remotely like what is claimed, are wildly illegal and unsafe. In addition, this person is taking to task with university authorities, one or more professors who apparently "teach" undergraduates what Rossi claims as fact.
I see. On what grounds is he reporting Rossi? Does he have any other indications of possible wrongdoings than "Rossi says"? And man... are you suggesting professors talking about Rossi should be somehow be punished? It sounds a lot like you advocate a systems of informants used by Stasi in former DDR and in other communist dictatorships? Wow!
“Wait and see” is the common plea of Rossi supporters who don’t like the logical, technical, and economic flaws of Rossi’s scam laid out in detail. Makes them uncomfortable to hear such things. So can’t we just be silent and wait and see?
Is this directed towards @mccubre? Do you disagree with his reasoning? And what do you suggest to do about it? (instead of "wait and see")
I respect M. McKubre. But I disagree with his recent position. "Wait and see" has already been done several times. Each time damage is done. At some point, one has to step up and state this is "BS". Yes, early on Rossi brought PR, which might have been good then. But now, with 7 years of actual proven fraud (read the court documents for goodness sake", this king of PR we can do without.
So what do you suggest should be done instead of "wait and see"? What kind of actions do you advocate? Accusations of ... whatever ... are plentiful not only in this thread... What is it that makes you so aggressive? I don't get it! (and from what I can find out there is no "proven fraud" in any court documents - it seems like they settled right?)
Its called a Universal Self- CheckMate (or USCM) with the only exception being the Planet Rossi remnant.
I dont understand. How does this differ from before the demo?
Display MoreThis question is non sequitur - or very far off the point that I and Peter were making. Very few issues of science are decided directly in the commercial marketplace. Rossi's current offering will be, and I am suggesting that all we need do is wait a little. If this new device creates market demand, then the product is producing heat more cheaply than the local utility price of electricity. An economic calorimeter with unambiguous results! Rossi has set a course with binary outcome: he fails (and draws as few of us as possible down); he succeeds and drags all of us up.
I have been doing this long enough to recall that interest in Rossi provided a very significant boost to the LENR community (I think Jed's download statistics support this). But now we are in "fool me twice" territory. The offer (cheap heat) and claim (machines being made for sale) is unambiguous. No room for wiggling. I am also old enough to know that it is (or seems) far wiser to be able to explain the results of an experiment afterwards, than to predict it in advance. Experiments have a way of pricking our hubris (otherwise there would be little point - or fun - in doing them). Rossi's experiment has begun. If it fails it will be his last, at least in public.
I (obviously) am not going to predict a result but (equally obviously) hope Rossi succeeds. His success would do us all a lot of good, politically, although I have learned very little of real technical value from the Rossi experience. If he fails it will do us very little harm.
PS thanks to the folks who put together sequenced videos of the plasma spectrum. Very illuminating. A black body this is not.
A more leveled approach in my opinion. I cant really understand why so many see so much to gain in arguing about insignificant details when the logic of the whole thing, as @mmcubre describes it, is so obvious??
Shane, my comment about Acland was a “low blow” only if you think enabling, cheering for, and banning any real criticism of an obvious con man is providing a valuable service. Ruby and apparently you seem to think so. In most places, that “valuable service” is called being a shill. But I will endeavor not to tarnish his name further.
How is it that you you feel entitled to push your personal opinion about Rossi so aggressively, and at the same time seem so reluctant to allow differing opinions from others even though much less aggressive?
