It would appear that Cude isn't posting here anymore, presumably after everyone grew tired of his inflexibility. Cude wasn't getting what he needed here, so he went elsewhere. Looks like he's now trying to work out his issues over at physicsforums.com. Since it's a skeptical web site he may experience more extended play over there than he did in vortex. OTOH, the moderator strikes me as a pretty sharp dude. I suspect he would prefer to keep his forum ship-shape. He may eventually see through Cude, especially if Cude keeps to his past behavior. Like Mr. Beaty, the moderator can kick anybody out of the forum any time he wants to - no explanation needed. To be honest, I really don't think "Cold Fusion" is what Cude is really railing against. "Cold Fusion" is just the most expedient vehicle that Cude chose in order to work through a personal list of intellectual proclivities. I'm sure it's an engaging experience for him. Least I sound too judgmental towards Mr. Cude - I wish to make it clear that I believe we ALL come into our lives with personal issues. Few escape unscathed. It's just that at certain times in life some of us express those proclivities more obnoxiously than at other times. It's a process.
