Paranoid much?

What if I'm Moonman62? What if I am all the posters you see on this board? What if, in reality, it's just you and me, the Matrix has you!

... they never say that when one of you calls in the lurkers.

Is this yet another time when you confuse me with someone else? You still haven't acknowledged that you confused me with someone else in that Princess Bride quote?

You're giving Wiki a workout with your Shakespeare and Latin quotes.

***You said yourself that Rossi is not a scientist. Why do you hold him up to a scientific standard rather than a business standard?

That should be obvious, don't you think? How can he possibly sell something that he claims to have invented, when he cannot show that it works, nor demonstrate enough scientific knowledge to even be able to determine whether it works?

BTW, since you obviously don't know how sales work in the scientific world: when a salesman makes a pitch to a potential customer, he has to know more about the equipment he is demonstrating than the customer who he is demonstrating the equipment to. That means he has to know how the equipment works, and the scientific principles underlying its operation. He has a tough audience: his potential customers most likely have PhDs and are experts in that field of science. So, there is nothing contradictory about holding Rossi up to a scientific standard--I do no less with honest salesmen trying to sell me bona fide scientific equipment.

Since Rossi has demonstrated no scientific knowledge, and he has yet to demonstrate that his "invention" actually works--only a fool would spend any money on it.

***He did. He sold a unit to a customer. That is the claim. Either he did, or it’s a scam.

Basically there are very few people on this planet who understand LENR. Rossi’s contribution wasn’t LENR, it was a ‘catalyst’ that made the LENR reaction more replicable. He does not have to show how he did that. All he needs is to show customers the demo and they pay cash on the barrelhead. We’re lucky to see one LENR demo a year from the rest of the field. He has done 10 in the last year.

As I’ve only pointed out several times before, the tests needed to show actual “cold fusion” (or “LENR” if you prefer to call it that) are so simple an undergraduate (or a caveman) could do them.

Rossi hasn’t done any such test. All he has done is heat some liquid, hoping we’ll believe what he won’t (or can’t) show.

His claim of achieving cold fusion is truly extraordinary; if he isn’t running (another) scam, it is really up to him to prove it. Until he does so, it would be incredibly foolish of anyone to spend money on this thing.

Other than your “Intrade” wagers, I really do hope you haven’t any money invested in this thing.

Also, we only have Rossi’s claim that someone actually bought a unit. It’s worth about as much as his other claims.

Once again, your post is filled with emotional laden content.

Rossi is selling devices. If it’s a scam, it will be found out soon enough. You can buy one yourself to prove it if you have the means and it is so important to you.

Did I say it happened all in the same thread? No, they were dropping hints over a span of a few days... others had been complaining, for how long? What was it? A couple of weeks? Three? But you just ignored them. Or posted a typical Kevmo self-justifying, self-defense comment. Nothing real, nothing personally genuine, one person to another...just more of the same old posturing, stuck there in that cramped position, there in kevmo-land as you are, dishing up the same fair, over and over. Much like your copy/paste opening insult comments.

Now about that dropping of your current BULLSHIT opening comment---I notice you've been avoiding talking about that.

So it's safe for me to assume that you're just going to keep up polluting the joint with that crap, aren't you?

Yeah, I thought so. Just don't try to add the last two.

Your act is wearing quite thin, on more than a few around here.

Maybe, just maybe, if you'd change your tone a bit, right there at the starting gate, you won't being initiating as much incivility?

Every single comment I've made to you thus far here has been concerning this issue. But you refuse to address it.

Ok, have it your way. Whatever blows your skirts up, baby.

Keep on with the same, just don't expect different results, or expect any sympathy for being laughed at whenever the "equipment" is exposed.

***Others are not the admin mod. That does not line up with what you claimed. Basically, you’re full of it and now you’re backtracking. But I did ignore whatever “others” said. I seem to recall that some seagulls were telling me to have thick skin.

I took more of the same advice and ignored the rest of your post.

Kevmo almost certainly IS Rossi... or his mom. Either way, he has clearly shown, for a long time, that he is VERY interested in urging others to buy Rossi’s... “invention”.

Yeah, yeah, I just knew you would say that exact thing. What it means is you won't change anything, will push to the limits the same old story, just all dolled up to get past the moderators here (whom are "hands off" to a large extent) until they come give you a snout full of pepper spray again. No need to explain that. I had already gathered as much. And I doubt they'll bother. Just don't make the assumption you are fooling many here on that score, for reason of lack of further intervention.

Here again on this point, you are fooling no one but yourself, particularly yourself if you actually believe that statement, for you are mistaking indulging your own thick-headed stubbornness (pride), with having a "thick skin". The two are not interchangeable. Unfortunately enough for we humans, they are most often opposed to one another.

As a general hint, don't stand facing upwind tossing crumbs to shore birds. Man, that's just asking for it.

Your repetitious opening monologue, it's like that. Tossing crumbs in the wrong direction. Even if you are not trying to "make a sale".

Drop the comment, and you won't need dodge so many unwanted, uhm, contributions.

At least from this old crusty pelican.

Thank you for the reply.

Kevmo almost certainly IS Rossi... or his mom.

Interesting thought, one that has crossed many minds around here, jokingly or not.

...he has clearly shown, for a long time, that he is VERY interested in urging others to buy Rossi’s... “invention”.

That part would be difficult for anyone to refute.

I do recall that somewhere near the beginning of this series, he asked if he was working for Rossi.
I didn't notice a reply, or any offer of explanation.
Perhaps I missed that part, but I did look for it then.

On many questions all we hear, is [crickets]

I will admit, one hypothesis that I have entertained is that Kevmo is associated with Rossi.

An alternate hypothesis involves his "investments" with Intrade, which is essentially an on-line gambling site. In order to make wagers, one must have someone to wager against. I believe that it's easy to find people to bet against cold fusion; finding people to bet for it is harder. Since Kevmo has described making money off of cold fusion via Intrade wagers--I must wonder if he's trying to gin up interest for the cold fusion wagers, so that more people will engage in the betting.

The way the stakes are being raised, I'm fairly certain the scam is coming close to unraveling. And why on earth would I buy a device that claims to have overcome the laws of physics? I might as well just write Rossi or one of his front companies a donation check; I'd get just as much in exchange.

***In order to prove it a fraud. One way or the other, it’s going to come to a head.

Feel free to demonstrate where I leave crickets.

For me to be Rossi, he would have had to sign up on FR 2 months after JimRob and pretended conservatism for that whole time. Geez, those seagullers’ conspiracy theories are becoming incredibly complex. They violate Occham’s Razor. Not only that, but since they include me and I know what the truth is, so it becomes easier for me to figure out what’s going on.

***Bowl Sheet. I’m interested in getting naysayers & seagulls to put their money where their mouth is. Put up or shut up. But the seagull brigade does neither.
