But I am not a “coal industry lobbyist”

Apologies, advocate would be a more accurate and appropriate term or perhaps former advocate. I specified the organizations you worked for and you acknowledged the truth of those statements. Since you have acknowledged the veracity of my statements they cannot be considered libelous or defamatory.

Energy&Environment is not carried in the ISI and is widely considered substandard and agenda driven.

Energy&Environment is not carried by ISI. Show that it is and I will withdraw that statement.
Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen (editor of E&E) did admit to her and the magazine’s agenda when she said, “I’m following my political agenda — a bit, anyway. But isn’t that the right of the editor?”? Show that to be a false quote and I will withdraw it.
Because of this and the articles printed in this magazine many do consider it agenda driven. Show this to be false and I will withdraw it.
Barring you showing any of my statements to be false calling me libelous or defamatory is the keyboard equivalent of so much hot air.

However, the coward hides behind a pseudonym to prevent defending against his defamations

The best way to defend yourself against a defamation would be to point to the truth. Show any of my statements to be false and I will withdraw them. Call me a coward if you like, but it is you hides behind his indignation and refuses to answer direct questions. I can only assume that you continue to hide behind the fig leaf of indignation because you have no good answer to the questions I put to you.

PS Undoubtedly you have noticed that the vast majority of people who comment on this and similar sites do so under a pseudonym (often a consistent one). Did you intend for your characterization of using a pseudonym in this forum as cowardly to apply to everyone here or only those who disagree with you?
