I can confirm that he can be a very strong source of distress and dismay that anyone could continue to be so insistent and unreasonable, while saying pretty much nothing the whole time.
It is redeeming to me that he finally experience the censorship that he so often denied was imposed on others, such as me, in the little power-trip exploited by the two of them, and that the old supposed basic question of “Who is right, daveS or DougS?”, (as though we were somehow equal), has slowly settled out as obvious, due to my insistence on staying with the simple facts of AWE the whole time.
While I’m still subject to occasional ongoing unfair censorship on this new forum, literally for stating simple, known facts of wind energy, which almost no AWE people have any knowledge or experience in, at least by this point, most participants have learned enough to realize I actually do know what I’m talking about, whereas he does not, that one of us is reasonable and factual, while the other is unreasonable and most of what he says can safely be ignored.
I would say this, Pierre: You are doing the world of AWE a service by keeping us informed, in a pursuit of an art where the subject matter (wind energy) is invisible - both wind, electricity, and everything in between is invisible or otherwise difficult for beginners to understand, of letting this obscure world of AWE know how extreme dedicated crackpots in wind energy can be, promoting their own ignorance as “advanced” “knowledge” which is easily debunked by anyone who actually knows anything about wind energy, and which was unrecognized by many AWE wannabes for well over a decade due to their own ignorance of most salient factors in wind energy.
I would suggest two choices:
- Don’t read his emails - you have a choice, but there is a temptation to read what he says for the entertainment value of how stupid whatever he says might be - like you can’t make this stuff up, so there is some amusement value to it, which is a temptation only you can either succumb to, or ignore, and not open the emails - your choice. i did find, however, that he was SO unreasonable that it was disturbing to my own feeble brain, that it took up too much bandwidth and had me wasting too much mental energy trying to figure out how anyone could be so insistently ignorant and unreachable in their aggressive firehose of ignorance, disinformation, bragging of supposed future accomplishments and past failures presented as success, and false promises of future success. It is only the passage of time that has redeemed me vs him in the naive perpetual beginner minds of so many AWE wannabes, and I guess you could say I’m glad that I held my ground, but really, why? To prove I knew what i was talking about to an audience of mostly people who simply don’t have the slightest clue anyway?
I;ll give one example: As much as I think Jason is a great and welcome contributor to this forum, have learned some great things from him, and will always enjoy reading his posts, he still falls, so far anyway, into that typical (for wind energy) “perpetual newbie” category, for now anyway, and when he recently began promoting power by the weight of falling magnets inside a plastic tubular ring, I had to explain to him how to calculate the amount of energy available in the weight of a typical magnet falling at a speed that might be expected, and it not only confirmed his bad results thusfar but explained wny. I was happy to explain this because that is how we teach each other. he dod not come back with a bunch of argymentative bobsese like a Santos would, but instead took the info I provided and we have nbot heard back from him since on thaat tiopic. I remain eager to interxt with him again, because he is a reasonable and interesting person with tantalizing ideas and a good attitude.
- I’m pretty sure almost every email system has a way to simply “block sender" by a click of a mouse, as I have in Gmail. However, you are doing us a service by keeping the world of AWE and wannabe wind energy in general of the dangers and emotional stress extreme wind energy crackpots are capable of causing. I think of goofy wind energy ideas, and there are SO MANY, are great entertainment, and fun to debunk, but in that one case, the nonsense is so overwhelming the mental distress outweighs the entertainment value.
Beyond that, I hesitate to even discuss this topic further, as one has to limit the mental and emotional damage that can occur when the human brain becomes twisted like a pretzel trying to even comprehend how dishonest and unreasonable someone can be in promoting their own ignorance, as some authority on a topic in which they purport to be a master, yet with zero success in any form, ever, and nothing but a track record of nothingness to claim as their result after well over a decade-and-a-half of harassment of a subtle art that requires actual knowledge to master.
So I would thank you, Pierre, for suffering for the benefit of the rest of us. I, for one, am grateful for your sacrifice, and thank you for keeping us up to date on the most extreme level of wind energy crackpottedness ever encountered in wind energy, anywhere, anytime! Thank You!!!
