When a post says "reply to Chamberf=6" I guess I take it as a reply to me since that is my name here...
No?
Honestly,
You've certainly made known your fair share of thin-skinned complaints against yourself, character and person

Of all the posts I've seen in this thread, almost all have been unnecessary flaming against the OP guy from members. Is this really fair?
Since he's lying, both his warning and harsh responses are warranted.

Yes, repeated postings of seeingufospa stuff, more 'debunk this' remarks, more veiled and unveiled abuse of the few sceptics left, more peppering of multiple videos that are unrelated to the initial postings, and threads like this...
(Not having a shot at the OP, by the way..)
Seriously, what has become of this place?
Anyway, I'm taking some time off too, although I will finish off the projects I have promised to.

CHRLZ,
Too many people who use logic are leaving this site.
I don't know if this is because the Admins are happy for them to go because The Credulous make more hits and generate more advertising for the site.
I'll probably get banned for saying that.
My point is that you, and others like you such as MMN, Phage, Chadwickus etc., are vital to a place such as this!
Without you this is just a UFO fanboy site and, consequently, has no meaning or purpose.
Don't go. Stay and fight the good fight.
Slippery Jim.

I appreciate your comments, Slip, but sometimes I get very, very sick of seeing the same old, same old.. But right now, it has increased to a deluge of ridiculous postings, fed by the 'youtube mentailty'.
ATS used to have much more moderator *involvement* - in other words, it wasn't about alerting the problems, as the mod's were *participating* and keeping it on track. There are occasional exceptions (hi to Armap!)...
I would say more, especially about the youtube business, but I too would rather just leave without getting banned... I will say that I think some questions need to be asked........ and after all, it is a conspiracy site...
Anyway, I'll still be around, so feel free to U2U me if I can help with anything particularly bad..

I know what you're saying. Its increasingly annoying to have to rebutt people posting YouTube videos of aircraft, lanterns and what-not time after time after time.
The Mods and Admins on here are very quick to sanction a "debunker" but a hoaxer is left to continue his/her thread until a "debunker" slams it into touch.
For what its worth: I'm a believer in an alien presence. I've seen things that even I can't debunk.

What a disappointing attitude.
Basically what you are saying is that, rather than stay on and offer insight and thought from experience and a clear thinking mind, you simply don't believe you are capable of stopping yourself from writing insults to people and feel the need not to participate for fear getting banned for doing so?
Congratulations - your apparent lack of self control is a win for the hoaxers.
I've been on this site since 2006 and not once have I felt the need, or compulsion to be so obnoxious to a UFO hoaxer that it would get me banned from ATS.

Just what are you implying exactly?
What on earth could you type that would get you banned?
