Guilty conscience? That is humorous. The reason I felt the comment was directed towards myself is that you've made similar comments before, always shortly after I've made one of my 'speeches' about you. Perhaps it's just coincidence. I should know better, after all, as I keep spouting that "correlation does not equal causation."

Much of my skepticism has shifted from your work to you personally. Not the most objective or proper way to debate a topic, I know. So let me try to explain again why this is.

We don't know who you are, although I've managed to figure out your likely name after researching the archives of this board. But admittedly that was a claim by a third party, unconfirmed or denied by you.

You claim to have certain credentials, but won't divulge what they are, or where you got them.

You claim to have worked in various fields, but won't back up those claims with names of companies or institutions.

You claim to be in contact with other "serious research" scientists in the world, but refuse to name even one of them.

Over the last 15 years you've built up this grand image of a person with accomplishments and ability, but we really don't know anything, do we?

And what does your user name have to do with "heated discussions" on other parts of the internet? Is there something here we should know? You've gone by (even on this forum) and still go by many user names, all variations of a theme so it's not hard to know they're all the same person.

All these things together make it difficult not to be suspicious of who you are.

I think this person "EQF" or whatever you want to be called is all a contrivance. You don't really exist. You are a figment of someone's fantastical imagination. Actually, I should probably stop here because I then start wondering if the real person behind all this isn't suffering from some serious mental delusion or other disorder, at which point I then start having feelings of pity, for I cannot fault a person who has issues beyond their control.

But here's a point to ponder, if you want credit for these accomplishments, who do we give the credit to? No reputable scientist is going to list a reference in a paper to, "EQF, unknown person with unknown credentials found on Internet."
