Bottom line, as far as I see it, I don't think there is any way to report ugly facts without experiencing some kind of blowback.
The facts you have reported lately are not ugly. They are trivial, or private and unrelated to cold fusion, or imaginary. You will not be subjected to blowback but you have irked a number of people, and you will probably be ignored in the future.
Note I said "irked." Not "infuriated," or "deeply upset." You seem to imagine that people have it in for you, or that my messages here are filled with rage and that I am reacting "quite strongly." This is either wishful thinking on your part, or cognitive dissonance. I am annoyed by you. I am enraged by powerful people who abuse their positions, such as Wall Street crooks, and distinguished scientists and editors who suppress academic freedom. It seems to me that you should go after such people, by the way, instead of publishing a retired professor's personal medical information.
I think it is bad for your health to get angry at minor annoyances. People who do that don't seem to enjoy life. People should drink wine, enjoy the garden, watch small children play and try not to think about irksome things.
