Adrian, This is the kind of Milquetoast response expected of your so-called proper English education... oops, another ad hominem and maybe that adjective is not to your liking either ... but puerile is what this is all about - who understands the situation and who is childishly ignorant of it. Your naivety to what is going-on can be forgiven as idealism or lesser excuses, but you want to pretend you are taking the high road interject support for the savior-figure, while in addition pretending that you have some grasp of the technical issues. No, you do not.
It is wrong to disparage idealism unless it strays into gullibility and promotes fraud, which it often does - and thus I am slightly offended that you, the idealist, wants to participate as an adversary here without grasping the reality that alternative-energy draws the scammers like flies to honey. We have seen this over and over through the years. Defkalion was not even the most recent and Rossi will not be the last. Make no mistake, he is a scammer but one with some "value-added" shall we say. As to why I am largely dismissive of this fraudulent report, the misnamed ERV report - it is because the important details, which will come out in the next few weeks, are known to me - but I do not care to elaborate to you at this juncture - other than to say that Penon will be discredited and perhaps may decide to leave the country under duress, shall we say. He does not want to become a fall guy to another of Rossi's scams. You can take that at face value, or you can act indignant and pretend that Rossi is still the appointed savior and Beene is some kind of patho-skeptic who is strangely vindictive and wants to act like a know-it-all. The bottom line is that I will be here in the next weeks or months, trying to grasp whatever kernel of truth Rossi has based this latest scam on - while you will be long gone... seeking the next energy-messiah, most likely Sean at Orbo or another equally ridiculous clown... oops, that sounds like another ad hominem. Sorry about that, but when dealing with the upper classes, I guess we have to make our allegiance perfectly clear. My allegiance is to the technology of LENR and I see Rossi as the greatest threat to that. His fall could implode everything, unless we are strong enough to demonstrate beforehand that we did see it coming and took precautions. At the same time, it is acknowledged that yes - Rossi has probably discovered something of incremental value - above the technology that he copied from Mills, Piantelli and Thermacore. He could be either a great or a lucky inventor and probably he does have something important to society in an incremental way - but it is unreliable, and far less valuable than he wants it to be. In Rossi's case, greed is not good. Too bad, as he could have taken a little more than the original $10 mill, but less than the $100+ and retired comfortably to South Beach. Instead, his attorneys will end up with most of IH's loot, and AR may have a less accommodating address. -----Original Message----- From: a.ashfield Jones wrote: " is English your second language or do you simply prefer not to understand it when it fits your puerile agenda? Why not go back and read the posts before making a further obnoxious jerk out of yourself. AA. As I was educated in England I suspect it is more likely your second language. You don't understand what puerile means or misuse it. You are wrong. I have read the previous posts. I disagree with your opinion. Jones. "You stated in response to the original post on Wang's headline: "Seems 90% thought the article was biased and wrong". When I checked on the comments to verify your version, the negativists are nowhere near 90% and seem to have screen names like masterblaster, nightcreature, oystea, jarea, etc. and to me, those are anonymous fan-boys names, at least when they show extreme gullibility and anti-science attitude, accepting everything they are told by a consummate con-artist and fraudster. How can anyone respond seriously to a masterblaster?" AA. At the time I read it the majority of comments were critical on the piece. Names are not necessarily informative. I don't know who you are. The first two pages of Google only identifies two Jones Beenes. One Jones Beene works at Chava Science (subsidiary of Chava Wind) the other is lead guitarist and "chief bottle washer" at Soncured Records. Jones. Yes - I do realize that "goat-guy" is also a screen name, but from his long string of intelligent postings over the years, he is certainly not among your so-called 90%. So you are clearly wrong on the percentages … but who takes you seriously anyway since you seldom try to understand? Your gullibility completely overwhelms any scientific contribution you might try to make here, at least based on rereading some of your prior posts. You seem to want to come-off as politically well-connected and involved in executive decisions, but all I see is bluster and ignorance. AA. Insults and ad hominems are what I expect from you. Now that is puerile. As far as I can tell, anybody who disagrees with you about Rossi you call a "fanboy." Why do you dismiss the ERV's report before you have seen it? Try to answer the question and not go off into your usual ad hominem attacks or change the subject..
