I was being polite by calling Jed and the other 'believers' optimists; in reality, I think they are believing in something for which there are no rational grounds to believe. Although I am fairly ignorant, I can steer by the old saying that extraordinary claims require solid proof - lots of independent replications. Rossi hasn't done even one. He acts like a con man. I don't expect Jed or any of the other believers in this nonsense to change their minds until Rossi confesses. If he is jailed without admitting he is a phony, the believers will add him to their roll of martyrs in the CF cause. Even if he confesses they will probably say that he lost his mind due to the tortures inflicted by the servants of Big Oil. To answer your question, my presence on the list is to be entertained, and, if possible, to provide entertainment.
