This is a letter to the website almost certainly to be censored.  So I am publishing it here.  It needs to be published.


Greg & Ruby Carat,

Please don't censor this from the forums, it is a critique offered with no ill intent.  We want the site to be transparent about LENR.  We welcome critique of serious scientists.  Why should this topic be treated any differently?

While this almost certainly may cause an offense, I wish to request that poetry and other arts not be attached to this web site.  It goes to credibilty.  Why would a site dedicated to the serious science around LENR put a poem on the site?  Is there no other scientific informaton that could be displayed?  Why put a poem on the site, does the serious question of LENR need to be deflected into an area that is irrelevant to it?  Science by its own nature is not to be muddied by emotion.  To so undermines the credibility of the message.  It looks silly.  If you want to do a website dedicated to the arts or environmental heart strumming, create a different web site and post it there link to it if you must.  This is nothing short of an embarrassment.  How can I refer a serious scientist to this web site when to do so is to out and out conveys a message of subjectivity so blatant as to disqualify any other actually meaningful scientific, dispassionate, rational information?  Science is called a discipline for good reason.  This sort of thing is inappropriate.  How many science text books have a poem section?
Please stop this nonsense, it is a waste of energy, a deflection of purpose, a departure from logic, and purveys a loss of objectivity. 

I believe I understand why you feel you must publish this.  It is to present some sort of holistic approach.  But this is surely not the appropriate forum.  Why intorduce some subjective opinion that a viewer would disagree with out of hand?  Do we not contend with enough disagreement before the facts?   Please reconsider this seriously.  It makes what we do the laughing stock of science when there is no other discipline that needs credibility more.  This is not a hate message.  I don't hate your poems, art etc.  I just don't see this as an appropriate forum.
