For the last time:

I am pretty sure I know the answers BECAUSE I HAVE THE DATA.

You do not claim you know the answers BECAUSE YOU KNOW NOTHING. YOU HAVE NO
DATA. You have no way to judge anything, and no way to judge how much is
unknown, and how much is perfectly clear.

You and I are not on equal ground. I am informed and you are ignorant.

I have attacked both the claims and Rossi, separately, so it is not ad
hominem. That is defined as follows:

"(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the
position they are maintaining."

I am not directing the arguments against the person *rather than* the
position. I am directing separate arguments *against both*.

I attacked the person because he refused access to the company, and because
the company is a dummy corporation with no income, no business, no
employees, and no inspections, so obviously it does not have equipment
using 1 MW of process heat.  It is hard to imagine better proof of a fraud,
or a better reason to attack someone!

There is nothing unethical about attacking someone who has repeatedly
committed illegal and immoral acts. On the other hand, you are mindlessly
defending this person, and that is somewhat unethical. Frankly, it stinks.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
