Based on my own past associations with Mr. Krivt, he really likes to bring it on. I think Krivit envisions himself as one of those scrappy investigators that likes to stick it to his targets - like a festering thorn. This tactic often seemed to have worked in past investigations. However, it remains to be seen if it will produce the desired results against Rossi. I suspect Rossi is a lot more resilient than SK is capable of comprehending.
It seems to me that constantly bringing up Rossi's past "white collar" convictions suggests (at least to me) that Mr. Krivit may not really have all that much hard evidence in which to convict Rossi with. I was also struck by something Mr. Rothwell recently brought up: > Perhaps Krivit feels the original [white collar conviction] > sentence was just and should not have been overturned. It seems to me that Mr. Krivit continues to bring up Rossi's past convictions for no other reason than it suits him to perceive Mr. Rossi as a nothing more than unsavory criminal. In a sense Rossi has become the personification of an evil character that Krivit needs to place on a pedestal - an effigy to constantly spit at. I suspect Krivit has felt this way with other individuals, including one particularly vocal Vort member who begged to differ with the investigative reporter's extensive analysis of McKubre's M4 data. In Krivit's mind, Rossi has become a personification of everything that is bad about the Alternative Energy world. Captain Ahab is hunting his whale. I think it's pretty obvious to most that there is little respect & affection between Rossi and Krivit. As such,I have little faith in Krivit's ability to be objective when it comes to analyzing the complexities and contradictions that make up Andrea Rossi's persona. It's as if it's beyond Krivit's capacity. I recall a previous attempt on Krivit's part to make Rossi out as a befuddled thinker in front of his readership. He quoted Andrea's broken and halting English speech patterns verbatim in an attempt to insinuate that Rossi couldn't think very clearly. To have done so in such a manner is something no professional reporter in his right mind would think of doing. But that didn't stop Mr. Krivit, whom I presume perceives himself as a professional investigative reporter. Perhaps Mr. Krivit might complain that I'm bringing up something a little unsavory from the reporter's own past reporting style that perhaps he is no longer happy about. Perhaps he even wishes it would remain buried. If so, what compassion and understanding has Mr. Krivit shown towards Rossi, of Rossi's alleged past - which incidentally in the eyes of the law Rossi was exonerated of? With that said, I can understand why Mr. Krivit remains highly suspicious of Mr. Rossi. The blatant truth of the matter is that this flamboyant Italian does not help his own case. As I understand it, Rossi's refuses to be up front with his own experimental data. It makes him out to be a charlatan in the eyes of many. Most have every right to remain suspicious of Mr. Rossi! To me, Rossi, comes across as a kind of carnival barker. We shall see what this curious Italian; a flamboyant character of history will offer up next. A "cat" on a hot nickel roof would be nice, or perhaps a cup of hot tea. But who really knows. Never a dull moment. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
