Eric: Of COURSE you're happy with your own moderating because you are so one-sided at the approach.
You have a perception of someone who claims to be a lawyer who has missed at least 2 major aspects of the law with respect to this case. You have a one-sided perception. HE WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE INSULTS. But you put ME on probation. That says volumes about your moderating ability. You say I was given a request on a side thread, and then a warning AFTER I WAS PUT ON PROBATION. Your approach is completely screwed up. Here is the latest. Someone says I post a lie even though it was Rossi who posted it. When are you going to put a stop to the bullshit that you have power to stop?

Regarding your other non-stop creative Planet Rossi inference pattern- do you think that your "Rossi realization" scenario included getting caught claiming that an empty reactor was generating as much excess heat output as a "loaded reactor"? Dewey: It has been shown upthread that Rossi claimed to offer the IP buyout. It may be a Rossi lie but it IS a claim on his blog, along with other bloviating claims that many of us would like to see addressed. So quit calling it a lie unless you can prove that Rossi did not claim it. The moderators of this forum preclude me from responding to your "loaded insults" so I would suggest you quit posting them.
