“Kevmo certainly has NOT “endorsed Rossi” at any time, and any assertion that he has is simply a lie. Kevmo’s sole “sin” is not to immediately assume that Rossi is a fraud.”

Hogwash. One doesn’t spend every thread calling anyone who voices an ounce of skepticism all sorts of names if you aren’t emotionally committed to the thing they are skeptical of. He really doesn’t have to put an endorsement in writing when he endorses him by his actions.

“And I don’t recall seeing your handle on any previous LENR threads, so how, precisely, is it that you know what Kevmo has “done for years”??”

I’ve posted on a few of the threads, I’m just not compelled to post on every thread that I read.

“You appear here, basically out of nowhere, pushing the standard skeptopath song and dance and you are suddenly empowered (self-appointed) to decide what is “gonna sell around here”.”

I’m not empowered to decide anything, the forum has already decided. That’s why it’s only three guys who ever have anything positive to say about this junk. Call the other 99% of FR “skeptopaths”, or whatever other silly names the three of ya come up with, but the jury seems to have spoken, long before I made my observation.

***Exaggeration. Most of the skeptopaths aren’t well enough versed to speak out on the theory threads.

calling anyone who voices an ounce of skepticism
***My turn to call hogwash. The folks who get called names are the ones who engage in over-the-top pathological skepticism, which I have shortened to ‘skeptopath’ out of the kindness of my heart. Just look at this thread. There were 2 freepers engaging in polite skepticism and no name calling went their way. Your position is destroyed. Because you are a skeptopath.

all sorts of names if you aren’t emotionally committed to the thing they are skeptical of.
***Trying to change the terms because your original definition doesn’t fit.

He really doesn’t have to put an endorsement in writing when he endorses him by his actions.
***Um, answer the question: When was the last time I posted a thread that focused on Rossi? So... get lost, skeptopath. But thanks for bumping the thread.

Horse manure, buddy. Kevmo only returns hostility that is directed to him. Polite posters are treated as such. And both Kevmo and I have ALWAYS included the possibility that Rossi was perpetrating a fraud. We just happen to think that one should base that decision on ALL THE DATA, rather than the exaggerated claims about Rossi's supposed criminal career.

Which, unfortunately, means that the spamming tactics of the skeptopaths have been largely successful. By posting a constant stream of garbage, the little knowledge that gets into these threads is diluted to the point of virtual nullity.
