"That's funny, coming from a Rossi shill."

Nope. LENR shill. You just can't seem to differentiate the two.

"Rossi knew better. He lied about it to claim undeserved credibility from the U of B."

Speculation.

"And while I'm sure you were gullible enough to believe Rossi, you spent that time using it as the core of your argument that Rossi must be legitimate, because if he wasn't, he wouldn't allow the U of B to do their testing."

Bullshit.

"Now that the lie is exposed, you act incredulous about it, as though no one could have seen it coming. In reality, everyone with a brain saw it coming. It's only the gullible Rossi fanboys who seem to have trouble accepting the fact that Rossi is lying his way through this farce.

Lying again. I have NEVER denied the possibility that Rossi might be scamming. What I "have" done is point out that there are often alternative explanations to the actions you ascribe to Rossi. You see EVERY action Rossi does or has ever done as "black/evil". I see the POSSIBILITY that other explanations might be correct, therefore I just have to be a "Rossi shill". This is precisely why I say that your skepticism rises to the point of "skeptomania".

"WOW! Just WOW! Rossi lies about it again and you believe him again. That is a new record for gullibility!"

What makes you think I "believe him"? I'm pointing out the statement. No more, no less.

"You should know that the U of B stated when Rossi first blew them off that their contract had a deadline, which has either already passed or is about to."

IOW, you have no idea about when the "deadline" is, or whether it has passed. For all you know, Rossi has asked for and gotten an extension of the deadline. But no, you just ASSUME that a particular possibility MUST be true.

"My guess is that Rossi is waiting until the contract has expired, and then step forward with an insincere offer to let them test it. When they properly tell him to go pound sand, he will claim that they are persecuting him and trying to "suppress" his work."

At least you properly label THIS point speculation.

"Congratulations! You've invented a whole new logical fallacy. I've heard of "argument by authority" (which you are fine with when the "authority" happens to support your side, as in the anonymous "NATO Colonel" working for the anonymous customer).

Excuse me?? I have never claimed ANYTHING about said "NATO colonel" as an authority. My statement was that the other witnesses to the demo said he was knowledgeable.

"But you have invented the "Argument by ignorance" fallacy. Since you "know squat" about something, you therefore feel justified in ignoring it."

Still lying. As I said previously, I "ignore" nothing. But, not being familiar with Italian newspapers I have no idea how to "weight" the evidence. You, OTOH, assume anything anti-Rossi that appears anywhere just has to be the "gospel truth".

As I've stated repeatedly, I'm arguing about the validity of LENR in general. Just the fact that Rossi is a con man who has decided to use LENR as the background for his scam.

Still lying. You have made generic anti-LENR statements before, and I've called you on them.

"And, as we continue to go for month after month where there is nothing but unsubstantiated claims from Rossi, and no signs of an actual, working E-Cat anywhere, I'll be here to rub your nose in it."

Again, I suggest you hold your breath while waiting.

Here's a clue.....you apparently consider yourself "Luke Skywalker"........but in reality, you're Anakin. Or in political language, a "useful idiot". And still nuts.

"You should know that the U of B stated when Rossi first blew them off that their contract had a deadline, which has either already passed or is about to."
IOW, you have no idea about when the "deadline" is, or whether it has passed. For all you know, Rossi has asked for and gotten an extension of the deadline. But no, you just ASSUME that a particular possibility MUST be true.

No, I just didn't bother looking up the reference when I first wrote that.

HERE is the article. Dario Braga, the director of scientific research at the University of Bologna, made the following statements on November 27, 2011:

The Rossi contract must start soon; otherwise, the University of Bologna can withdraw from the contract.
It must be understood that the period can be a few weeks, maybe a few months, but for sure not years.
The deadline for this is mid-January, and, as far as I know, an extension is unlikely.

There you go. Direct quotes from the person who knows the details of the contract with Rossi.
