I suspect many skeptics are likely to claim that your suspicions
are... how shall I put it, nothing more than making up elaborate
excuses to cover up for Rossi's quirky behavior. Nevertheless, the art
of disinformation should never be underestimated, both in warfare and
during peace times. If I were faced with a similar rock and a hard
place scenario I suspect that's what I'd do.

Well, just in case there might be some lingering doubt on the matter,
you have not upset me. It also looks like I stand corrected. Rossi
doesn't like having his work described as being "sloppy", or the
implication that his sloppy work insults the intelligence of his
audience. THAT's what pissed Rossi off.

This seems to be one of the saving graces of hot headed individuals:
They blow up, but then it's over. I'd much rather have someone lose
his temper and scream bloody hell at me straight at my face as
compared to someone who remains dead silent. The latter are the
ticking time bombs. It would be unwise to turn you back on them.
