You look at the list of the long-time members and they're all gone! Except Silence. Appropriately named in this instance (and others!).
Of course Michael is always welcome to contribute here, if he's interested. Great poster.
Thanks for the compliment!

I was thinking about Skeptiko and thought I'd check here to see if its apparent demise (little posted there in the last few months) was being discussed, and I see it is, although I'm a little bit late to the party.
I was banned for anyone in doubt. I guess my last post was too much for Aex's now-fragile self-image. It's interesting Skeptiko's gone to pot recently -- it was once such a great hangout where one could say all sorts of things without fear of being banned.
I still don't know for certain why Alex banned me -- I was as restrained as I could be in my last post. The guy seems so fanatically for the existence of viruses despite his lack of understanding of biology and the at least plausibility of my position. I have put together a concise summary of my views on the topic (2000 words) if anyone's interested. I haven't posted it here because I never know what's allowed or where to post things. You compliment me, Ninshub, and that is much appreciated, but when I first joined I got a negative reaction and so haven't really felt welcome here right from the beginning, hence I have only posted rarely.
