It means you are a fake "skeptic", whose sole purpose onthread is to disrupt civil discussion.
No, it means that you and and Kevmo have zero tolerance for anyone who has even the slightest skepticism about a “technology” that Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin Fleischmann whipped up interest in over 30 years ago. What you two apparently want is not actually a discussion. I have never seen another thread where the first two posts contain preemptive threats against anyone that might challenge the premise that the original poster is pushing.
It seems that the two of you have taken a cue from “global warming” forums where no skepticism is allowed. What an advance in understanding those types of discussions have led to! It is called an echo chamber.
Low-energy nuclear reactions, LENR has been a darling of the left, Hollywood and the media for over 30 years. What actual advances have been made in that time? We have charlatans such as Andrea Rossi who have made claims and put on demonstrations for decades now but somehow never manage to actually provide a working device or anything else that can be independently verified. Independently verified means verification without interference from the so called inventors not staged demonstrations.
The original link provided is a cute but essentially meaningless waste of people's time. I could provide you with many “global warming” demonstrations that are more extravagant and convincing but meaningless as well.
Do I really need to remind the two of you of Wolfgang von Kempelen‘s chess playing “Mechanical Turk”, a fraud that went essentially unchallenged for many decades? During that time numerous demonstrations were given that supposedly proved that this hand cranked automated chess playing device was able to beat numerous champions of the time period. The hoax was not uncovered for over 15 years after Kempelen‘s death meaning that he had multiple accomplices that kept it going.
No discussion of a “technology” such as LENR which has been tainted from the beginning by characters such as Andrea Rossi his team of accomplices is complete without reminders of possible fraud. Who knows how many billions of dollars have now been thrown down this rat hole because of their efforts. The US Department of Energy concluded after a review in 1989 and again in 2004 that there was no convincing evidence provided that LENR was a feasible new source of energy.
I realize that you two are enthusiasts who want to believe in a new unlimited, inexpensive, and “carbon-less” energy future. Don't we all? If you don't want comments from your fellow Freepers there is this thing called “Freepmail”. Starting a thread with warnings that no skepticism will be allowed and then responding with nonsensical name calling is not the way that Free Republic works. This type of tactic is actually challenging and I believe intentionally inviting this type of reaction.
