That would be hilarious! A laugh and a half!
Actually, lenr-canr.org was banned by one person, who was, indeed,
what I call a Cab editor, and the Cab supported it, but when larger
attention is focused on what the Cab does, they lose. In the end, the
Arbitration Committee rejected that kind of blacklisting, and
"sanctioned" the administrator who did it. But the Cab is still
powerful, and "struck back," as was described on Wikipedia Review,
see http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=25379, which
delves into the Arbitration case I filed. That thread became
enormous, and much of the discussion turned to cold fusion. We can
see, there, the work that is to be done.
These are not editors on the secret payroll of the hot fusion
establishment.... some of them are scientists, but, of course, with
no knowledge of the overall balance of research, and having swallowed
a lot of propaganda that they believe is true; and challenges to
beliefs can destabilize people. It will take time, but not
necessarily a lot of time. In my view, cold fusion is winning, it's
really all over except, so to speak, for the shouting. We've passed
the tipping point, it's still moving slowly, but that will start to snowball.
Wikipedia is a private club for ignorant control freaks and nitwits.
What they do is no concern of mine. I could not care less what they
think of me or whether they ever LENR-CANR.org. It is none of my business.
That's partly true. Many LENR-CANR.org pages have now been
whitelisted, it will be interesting to see if anyone carries on the
work I was doing. There are some established editors who have been
quite sympathetic, and one of the accomplishments has been that it's
not going to be possible to block or ban editors based on some
supposed agreement with a banned editor's point of view, as did
happen with you, Jed, you were banned based on your alleged
relationship with Pcarbonn. It was pretty stupid.
Your recent edits to Talk:Cold fusion were reverted out because of
the alleged ban (it was never properly established), and one of the
editors who had been pretty much a dedicated Cab editor reverted it
back in. I may have broken the Cab, or maybe it was just a
coincidence that, before, this editor (who was one of the brightest
of them) had always supported the Cab right down the line.
Right now, it looks like the administrator who banned me is going to
lose his administrative privileges temporarily for three months
(which, given how strong the Cab was, is quite a strong response), or
maybe straight-out removal. It seems I will be banned myself from
Wikipedia for three months, which I consider mostly a blessing, I get
to do something else more interesting now.
That is, create a successful cold fusion commercial enterprise, using
existing technology and techniques. No new methods or discoveries
necessary. Just what is already known and proven. And if I'm wrong,
well, it would strongly imply that this whole thing was a huge
mistake, artifact like the skeptics said, wishful thinking, and all
that. I don't think so, do you?
Jed wrote a few days ago that he'd never seen an amateur experiment
that worked. This isn't going to be an "amateur experiment," where an
amateur confronts a host of decisions about hundreds of unstated
variables which wouldn't even be questions to one skilled in the art.
The company will, using the best expertise willing to help, solve all
those problems, building kits that are thoroughly documented -- we'll
need the documentation to manufacture -- and tested to work, to show
some LENR effect. The kits will have complete instructions, all the
parts will be separately offered for sale, and analytical services
will be available. Experimenters can run one of the protocols that
may be as simple as, "Load the software on your computer, plug in the
kit, and press Start," or they can vary whatever they want. And the
nice thing is that a whole community of experimenters who start on
the same page will be connected, and people can join this community
of experimenters for cheap, the basic kits will not be anywhere near
as expensive as it has been to try to do this alone, especially
considering the time involved.
Krivit's Galileo Project and Kowalski's Curie Project were great, as
far as they went (and Kowalski is poised to announce results this
month), but this will make it all easier. Kowalski reports
communications that indicate there could be a ready market for kits,
both among serious researchers (not what I had in mind at first) and
high school -- or even younger (my original idea). Baselines.
To join this project, or even to just lurk, send a mail to
[email protected] and describe your
interest, so I know you aren't a spammer. I think we may already have
enough interest, perhaps, but the more who are involved, the easier
it will get, because of how I'm organizing it. If you join and
participate, your voice will be heard as to what protocol(s) to begin
with. Or go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/coldfusionproject/
