High time? Surely you haven't forgotten the fact that Mr. Krivit used to participate in discussions here in the Vort Collective. What's stopping him now? As a former Board of Director member for Krivit's New Energy Times, I wish Mr. Krivit's would once again return and share in the discussions. However, it was Mr. Krivit who excused himself after demanding that Mr. Rothwell publicly apologize to him for slights imagined against his own character. I don't remember what the specifics were, nor do I care. Nevertheless, Mr. Krivit responded in a manner that suggested he had been personally dishonored when Rothwell continued to speak his own mind, and no such apology was received. I sure looked to me as if Mr. Krivit was simply no longer willing to stand the heat in the kitchen. Mr. Krivit's demand that Rothwell publicly apologize struck me more as the modus operandi Krivit chose to exploit as an effective self-justified reason to excuse himself from further discussions going on in the "kitchen". I could see how constantly having explain and defend some of his investigative actions and the opinions and conclusions he personally drew was becoming exceedingly draining on the psyche. Nevertheless, by all means, Rich, please "welcome" Mr. Krivit back. No one's stopping Krivit from returning and expressing is positions on various matters. Of course, many are likely to once again challenge Mr. Krivit and his views on various matters. But isn't that what a discussion forum is all about? As for Park, well, he never participated here. Park has his own "What's Up" newsletter where he can say anything he wants and in any manner he sees fit, where everyone is invited to absorb his wisdom. As Mr. Storms once quipped about Park commentary and I'm paraphrasing here: Park seems to be very much in love with the cleverness of his own words. Nevertheless, I ask you, Rich, has Park had ANYTHING to say about the Rossi Saga? ...anywhere? Don't you find that just a little bit odd that, for someone who since 1989 has gone out of his way to criticize the whole Cold Fusion community as nothing more than a sociological phenomenon that depicts the principals of misguided pseudo science in action, why is it that after repeatedly being asked for his thoughts on the Rossi matter Park continues to remain uncharacteristically silent. His apparent self-imposed silence in the public arena is unprecedented. It speaks volumes. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
