First they erase your messages. If you keep posting messages, they ban you.

It is a waste of time to get involved with Wikipedia. It is like building a
sandcastle in an incoming tide.

Jed--

What would you expect to happen, if I put the note in talk section of 
Wikipedia?  Would I also be banned to comment on the topic?

  I put that comment in the Wikipedia talk section. Someone named McSly deleted 
it within minutes, saying: "(Revert. User is topic banned)." Those people stay 
on their toes!

  Here is what I wrote:



  No criticism to papers and presentations?!?[edit]Someone told me that you 
recently changed this article to say that at ICCF conferences "Attendees 
offered no criticism to papers and presentations for fear of..." This is 
hilarious. At the most recent conference, the second keynote speaker from the 
NRL roundly insulted Iwamura and several other leading researchers. At my 
luncheon presentation later that day, I described a major experiment as "tuning 
a piano with a sledgehammer." It turned out the principle researcher was in the 
audience. It was awkward even by my standards. He was very gracious.

  Whoever wrote this has no clue what these conferences are like. Like most 
academic conferences they feature backbiting, sniping, arguments and way too 
much food. The first cold fusion conference was held by the NSF in the summer 
of 1989. You can read the entire proceedings and all of the comments by 
participants at LENR-CANR.org. You will see that they were not reticent.

  I put the comment back and added:

  McSly, whoever you are, kindly refrain from deleting this. It is good to have 
some trace of reality in these remarks, rather than mere fantasy.



  It should be gone again within minutes, and then I will be once again banned 
from Wikipedia.

I changed that line to : Attendees at some of the early conferences 
were described as offering no criticism to papers and presentations 
for fear of giving ammunition to external critics  ...


The refs about that are to Parks and Hzuigenda (sp)  -- I have an 
early Hzuigenda edition (200 miles away), but not Parks.

This is especially hilarious in view of the ICCF18 conference, where the
second keynote speaker roundly insulted Iwamura and several other leading
researchers, and at my luncheon presentation I described a major experiment
as "tuning a piano with a sledgehammer." It turned out that Steve Jones,
the principle researcher, was sitting in the audience there. It was awkward
even by my standards. He was very gracious.

That is hilarious. Those people at Wikipedia live in a cloud cuckoo land of
