Perhaps the arguments can stop here.
Frankly they serve NO positive purpose (and appear to simply beget more); and only DETRACT from the actual empirical evidence of anomalous energy being discovered with the recent replications... that Universities or companies could see for themselves if they wanted to for about $150 in materials, around 6 hours in labor, and the use of a good oscilloscope.
THAT WAS THE POINT of this Open Source project, and let's not LOSE THAT POINT in these arguments.
Which it is important for all to understand, is not under question in this thread at all.
Everyone who wanted to has had their "says", thousands of words regarding the differences of opinion on what
TACTICS AND STRATEGIES
should be have been used regarding the content of the scientific paper; and the various motives attributed to these differences. It is important for all to understand the above point.
It is unfortunate that the present collaboration has ended this way. But the study of this anomalous energy present MUST GO ON. And it will. It has a life of its own, and is clearly now in the Public Record. It is "owned" by no one, and no one can "monopolize" it or "shelve" it.
Many may someday profit from it by manufacturing and selling useful devices (but not "exclusively" profit, and that was the point). And this will have to do, at least until a Utopian "Star Trek" culture with "no money" comes along...
... or until we get a "Scientific Mainstream" that is more interested in upholding the word "SCIENCE" than the word "MAINSTREAM".
