>From my reading of the actual letters between him and colleagues at various universities, I think he has good reason to be angry... but like he said later in life, the scientists who basically 'blacklisted' him in the academic world actually did him a favor; he was able to find very competent mathematicians and physicists to help develop his theories, and eventually he made more $ by pitching his work to the commercial sector; capitalism to the rescue. That first Volume contains more than 100 letters, and I can't remember one that was disrespectful or angry. His letters were sincere and respectful, even to those who he felt wronged him, but that only was up to 1984. I suspect that his attitude changed after 20+ years of being blacklisted. He really had to fight back, and he chose to use the legal system. Effective, but probably caused even more resentment and a 'perception' that he was 'crazy', which has only hampered his efforts to gain respect for his work.

Sorry I was mislead by my cynicism. Santilli is sincere and credentialed. I guess he became litigious after having to endure the label fringe scientist for years. The link to his complaint against Infinite Energy is dead.
