"No, but I don't have to "prove" he's a fraud. It's up to him to prove that he's legitimate. He isn't even close to doing so."

Another clue, since you apparently have none. Rossi doesn't have to do a damned thing that either you or I might wish.

"You have faith in Rossi, which has no place in scientific enquiry."

I've told you repeatedly that the above is NOT true. But you just keep repeating it despite that fact.

"I'll believe that Rossi is legitimate"

I don't give **** what you believe or don't believe.

"Until then, the very long and detailed list I've provided on numerous occasions provides more than enough evidence to believe that Rossi continues to be a con man, as he has been for decades."

Nope. As I said, your VERY CAREFULLY SELECTED list proves only that you are very selective in your beliefs and link only to that information that supports your point. Your information on Rossi's fraudulent activities appears to come from a single source in Italy. This sort of selectivity is the hallmark of a propagandist, not a person who is out to "find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth".

There is a "meme" which actually better explains more of the factual universe surrounding Rossi and his technology than your interpretation. The meme is "misdirection".....he wants to keep the publicity up, and people interested, while keeping enough of his potential competitors off balance and out of the market, and, if possible, send them off on various "wild goose chases" while he gets the bugs worked out of the real piece of technology he has.

As I recall, you and some others on these threads claim to be motivated by a desire to "keep widows and orphans from being taken in by a scam". Here is your actual moral position......those who have impeded the development of LANR over the last quarter of a century have KILLED PEOPLE. People whose lives might have been saved if they had had access to inexpensive power (even just heat). You might want to invest some time thinking about that.

Of course he doesn't. But, he deserves to be disbelieved if he presents his dog & pony shows to the public, and then refuses to do anything to validate it.

I present my evidence in rebuttal the the blindly positive mix of truth, half-truths and lies that the fanboys such as yourself have been spreading. For example, you spent almost all of last year using Rossi's lie that he was going to (or already did) allow independent testing of his gadget as "evidence" that he must be legitimate.

That you are trying to "belittle" the oldest and best-selling newspaper in Italy just because you don't like the stories they covered over more than a decade shows how desperate you are to avoid the facts.

those who have impeded the development of LANR over the last quarter of a century have KILLED PEOPLE.
Oh, please! It's not the fault of skeptics that no one has been able to make LENR work well enough to make it more than a research oddity. It's the two-decade-long failure of the LENR researchers to actually make it work. And rather than accept their failure, you and the fanboys simply find some conspiracy or another to blame.

I'm really not interested in banging my head against the wall trying to reason with you any further. But I do have one question I would like you to answer.

I've described the various scenarios which would cause me to change my mind about Rossi (some legitimate customer, university or other credible organization coming forward with a confirmation that Rossi's gadget works).

Please tell us what scenarios would make you change your mind? For example, if no independent confirmation that the E-Cat works has been produced in a year, will that be enough for you to admit that Rossi is a fraud? Five years? Ever?

Or are you so blindly devoted to Rossi that there is no scenario that would convince you that you were wrong?
