To make that complete, you have to add that he acts like a scammer yet you believe he really has cold fusion and his E-cat works more or less as advertised, probably fairly closely to what Rossi claims for it. In fact you've said you're absolutely convinced of it. First principles prove it (whatever that means). Right? > > However, your recollection is wrong.

My predictions are similar in all forums. In Moletrap, they're just a bit spicier. I think the overwhelming probability is that Rossi is a scammer and a conscienceless sociopath. I think he is most likely bamboozling a lot of well intentioned people who should be more cautious. I hold out a tiny hope that he may be legitimate and that the E-cat is real in which case I will be delighted. However, in that event, I have no attention to apologize to Rossi or anyone else. The stupidity and thoughtlessness and lack of consideration for others with which he would have brought forth the invention, if he's honest, will have been totally astounding and inappropriate. Why he would act exactly like a free energy scammer and follow their scripts if the invention is real would be very hard to explain. I don't buy the theories that he can't properly protect the invention and benefit from it. Thousands of inventors before him, some with equally startling claims have done so.
