Wesley,
The last time I confronted someone who was adamantly opposed to cold fusion
was about a year ago. The playing field was the Amazon reader review
section. This guy posted something that was so viscous, it was actually
entertaining to see how angry the whole cold fusion issue made him. The
nature of his post was so nasty that it violated the Amazon guidelines, but
I thought it was a great example of the irrationality behind some of the
opposition. I was a tough call for me but I did bring it to Amazon's
attention and they did pull it down. Funny thing is, the same guy popped up
another post a week later. But Amazon ruled, he lost. He didn't try a third
time.
If you come across people like this, just remember that if someone is
visibly, or noticable angry, they are not likely to be thinking clearly,
and they are not likely to consider that they are missing some significant
facts, and that the facts they do possess are largely out of date.
I say, if they're not interested, move on. There are plenty of other people
who are.
