Chris,
So let me summarise. If an experimenter expresses support for a phenomenon that you (and some, but by no means all other scientists) think is bunk, then their research is immediately so suspect that any positive results they obtain are obviously false. Furthermore, since these false results can't be said to contribute in any meaningful way to the scientific record, there never will be reliable evidence for said phenomena.
As I have said before, it was when I realised that something like this really goes on, that I switched from your position to being somewhat more open-minded!
