Soliton signing out!

[Soliton]

After 10 years and many thousands of replies, I am leaving FR.

I don't really care, and I don't know why anyone else would.

I am leaving before I am banned (again). Truth doesn't seem to matter on FR. I don't know if it is donations or sympathetic opinions that do, but I have been suspended twice when I followed the rules and the people who complained to the moderators didn't, yet the moderators sided with them.

For the record, evolution is a fact and the Shroud of Turin is a fraud. I would prove it if the admin moderators would let me, but they won't. Your resident "expert", Swordmaker won't debate me because he can't.

I will work to build a forum where members have rights and truth matters.

Merry Christmas

I haven’t read every reply to see if you were on this thread, but I suppose this signals the loss of one of your “cat toys.”

*sigh!*

(Those hammers in the distance? Someone’s building their own little clubhouse. “No gurlz aLoud.”)

Yep, that Poster is so well connected it took nearly two hours, 73 more posts and someone else to finally bring your post to our attention.

A parting gift for Señor Soliton...

[shibumi]

He can’t hear you.

He’s standing in the corner, fingers in his ears, eyes closed, loudly saying “LA! LA! LA! LA! LA!”

[Swordmaker]

I'm kinda glad I don't have that kind of power...

Admin Moderator is usually a thankless job, so I'm saying "Thank You" to all of you Admin Moderators who volunteer your time and dedication and good judgement.

[count-your-change]

He’ll be back under another name. Where else can he have such fun?

[Free Vulcan]

Thanks for making my point.

3,500 views on Christmas day? Soliton had something. Even if it was negative!

Slow news day, plus whiney Evo Opus/attempted self-immolation = intense amusement on FR.

"whiney Evo Opus/attempted self-immolation"

A vain search via tantrum for the recognition that his opinions could never command.

[Admin Moderator]

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Anyway to hijack this thread with an AYBABTU?

[Tribune7]

I betcha use a PC too.

‘But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete,
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.’

You're thinking of "Piano Man", by Billy Joel.

"A parting gift for Senor' Soliton"

A very touching gesture my FRiend, permit me to make a minor 'touch up':

[metmom]

You really should post some of these ringing endorsements on your profile page.

A copy is good enough. I can read it later for a laugh when I need one.

Funny thing is, he was given a time out for comments similar to that one on a thread back in May,( which I've also kept a copy of.)

Ping to those other members of the *lunch mob* of religious *spigots* from that thread.

[metmom]

The opus may only get a C+ but the rest of the thread has been a blast.

Soliton continually cites out-of-date and falsified conclusions from non-peer-reviewed and/or skeptic sources as though non-peer-reviewed, and subsequently falsified work done 39 years ago—results and claims that every scientist working since then has been unable to duplicate—somehow trumps science done in the last 39 years up to this last year that is more sophisticated, definitive, peer-reviewed, duplicated and published in respected scientific journals.

Lost on his way to the Skeptics' Ring?

If you helped found this site, why do you have a sign-up date later than the start of FR? Shoot, even my sign-up is earlier than yours and I wasn’t first by any reckoning.
