I have uploaded 1,200 papers about cold fusion, including some by leading opponents claiming that cold fusion does not exist, and it is fraud. I have uploaded a long, detailed list of reasons to doubt that Rossi's results are real. (The "Rossi hints.") I was one of the first one here to describe Rossi and his many personal foibles. I said clearly that these foibles make me nervous, and that I questioned his claims. Until the January demonstrations I was unwilling to believe these claims -- but of course I never disbelieve something without detailed knowledge and good reasons. I am skeptic in the original sense of the word. In short, I have demonstrated many times, in many ways, that I am willing to report the facts about cold fusion, even when those facts are bad for public relations. Even when they are setbacks that hurt the image of the field. I have demonstrated that I do not play favorites in disputes when it comes to uploading papers. I do not ever distort or hide technical facts. I have a proven track record. I have credibility. If Damon Craig does not trust me, and if he thinks I have deliberately uploaded fake data or exaggerated data into the news section, he can go to hell. I am not going to lift a finger or take any steps to reassure him that I am telling the truth. - Jed
