This does not appear to be the work of mainstream people on either side of the debate. You can always find extremists in a political conflict, such as people who want to impeach Obama because they think his birth certificate is fake. I mentioned there has been a great deal of harassment in cold fusion. Most of this is low level stuff such as denying promotion, cutting funding, and threatening to fire people. I do recall that in 1989 profs at MIT called for the arrest of F&P for fraud. That is the closest thing I can think of to this article. > Outside of Lysenko and the Soviet Union, I have never observed such > repellant behavior in my life. > Oh come now. I can point to hundreds of examples of similar behavior, in academic science and other fields. There are always extremists. They have no influence and they are no threat in this case. Don't worry about them. - Jed
