I am closing my account.

I wish you continued success with your forum.  I am leaving because I can't deal with the massive amount of pseudoscience.  The mods and many members will try to point out the inaccuracies they see but they are ignored and the pseudoscience continues.  It seems most of the OPs are pseudoscience or just batshit crazy.  I think this site attracts many of the crazies because people are rarely band so they can continue day offer day writing their drivel.

Any way I do think the mods do a good job and the members seem generally well behaved, but the level of misinformation by the crazies is intolerable for me.

Take care and goodbye. :)

Edit to add:  I guess I will be here a bit longer, apparently you have to enter your password to delete your account... Can't remember mine.. LOL

You can reset your password quite easily, but did you know you can ignore members, I have found this most enjoyable. Then again you may be ignoring me so you will never read this

I understand the frustration but if you stay, you can help correct the nonsense that the  anti-scientists post.

Will be sorry to lose you.
Don’t worry about your account, it will lapse if you don’t use it.

Policy is to ban only if forum rules are broken, otherwise all are given a voice for their ideas. Often their errors are educational.

The problem I have is with those who refuse to learn.

He hasn’t logged on for a long time and no sign he came back as a different user, he may well have left forever. Sad really because he had the capacity to learn, but just ended up in a sort of game to get responses.

How would you know if he came back as a different user ? Last thing the box was saying was that  his broadband was going to be cut off, so it would be a different IP if he rebirthed. Did he feel undervalued or something ?

Not saying how we track

I think he just got bored, found family more important to spend time with rather than a keyboard - hey, he got a life!  8)
