Hi Bryan, there is a big difference between being “obsessed by” and being “interested in”. I am very puzzled as to why Ken Coffman, of Stairways Press, who was responsible for donating that £10,000 in prize money, is so reluctant to clarify why Piers only received £1,000 and what happened to the outstanding £9000. The PSI blog claims that transparency is very important to the group yet the group has demonstrate a great reluctance to be transparent about the original plans that John O’Sullivan had for it.
As I told you on 14th Dec. a year earlier John O’Sullivan considered that taking legal action against powerful government agencies like “ .. NASA GISS, GHCN and NOAA in the federal court in Washington D.C. .. ” was “ . the only game in town .. ” (http://judithcurry.com/2011/10/15/letter-to-the-dragon-slayers/#comment-149933). He then held out the begging bowl to try to set up PSI as a limited company (http://www.gofundme.com/1v39s&aff=GFMse) when it would have required a measly £417 each from his “ .. a group of 36 respected international scientists and related professionals .. ”.
Doesn’t that sound rather odd to you? It seems as though it sounded odd to those who saw that gofundme appeal because apart from the initial £350 donated in the first hour (by a member of John’s family) there has been little enthusiasm for further donations – £50 a few weeks later then Doug Cottons donation recently.
Have a read of my comment of 20th Nov. (http://judithcurry.com/2011/10/15/letter-to-the-dragon-slayers/#comment-140824 Para 4 on).
I was somewhat taken aback on 15th Dec. when Andrew said of you “ .. It’s clear Bryan is a blind idiot .. ” (http://judithcurry.com/2011/10/15/letter-to-the-dragon-slayers/#comment-150389) but perhaps he wasn’t being unkind after all.
Best regards, Pete Ridley
