Checking Out

Mark-

While I hate to see you step out of the limelight, I think you've done a great deal to promote critical thinking, logic, and truth (the real thing, not the dylan variety). The fact that there are no truthers willing to publicly debate you speaks volumes of your success and knowledge of the subject matter. I wish you the best in your future endeavors, and look forward to seeing your new hardfire show! If we ever cross paths, there's a beer with your name on it.
 
What an impressive body of work you've contributed here, Mark.

Now that the Truth Movement is no longer a movement (how often does anyone speak of the "Apollo Hoax Movement" or the "Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Movement?"), I look forward to seeing your insights in other forums here, where a smaller amount of your leisure time might be better spent.

Best regards,
and as always,
Respectfully,
Myriad
 
Gravy,

I've been pretty much in the same boat as you. Its no longer worthwhile to counter the latest batch of troofers on this board. One is the classic case of a moron who thinks he's very clever, another is a low-rent cheerleader spitting from the sidelines, yet another ignores facts put right in front of his face and then wonders why you won't debate him. Nuke-boy, etc. etc. Its a waste of time these days, and all of them are a waste of oxygen.

There was a time, when these folks weren't any smarter, but they had an arrogance that needed countering. The troofers had a freakjob momentum and an arrogance to match. There was a need to counter balance their ravings. There was no info for debunkers, you had to only go on a few experts and their comments were spread far and wide.

Now? Now the troofers are just petty spitters, trying desperately to make a dent in 'Gravy'. Its like being the gunslinger with the reputation: every slinger thinks he can get a rep by taking you down. It never works, but they keep trying.

There might still be more work here, after all 911 conspiracies aren't the only thing. But in any case enjoy the other subforums and rest well. And let the troofers boil in their own spit and bile.
 
Mark,
Enjoy your retirement. You deserve it. If by chance I run into you in the city beers are on me. But I do have one complaint. We could have done without that last picture. No man of our age should ever have a picture taken with our shirt off.
 
Mark,

Twas you who turned my from a truther to a debunker. And reading your guides and posts and threads on da twoof have made for some of the most interesting and entertaining posts I've ever read on a forum.

I don't even acknowledge twoofers anymore. They haven't had anything new since I was one in 2005.

I hope you'll at least be back to read all our cheerio posts!

All the best,
James.
 
Gravy,

Mate, you’ve been an absolute legend. Thank you so much for the vast amount of work that you’ve contributed in the name of truth and in opposition to ideologically motivated historical revisionism of the vilest kind. One day you must write a book on the whole experience. Put me down for a copy.
 
Gravy-

Another lurker and occasional poster here. Also saying thanks for all the work. You deserve a good break. I wish I had half the passion you have for something that isn't even your career!

Also, quick note to Max and Swing, I think it's cool that you guys paid respect and kept it classy.
 
Well said, as usual, Mark.

Everything that I would have said has already been said by others in this thread, so I will simply add my thanks for your tremendous body of work and the invaluable resources that you have created.

Enjoy your well-earned retirement, good sir, and I'll see you 'round the forum.

:alc:
 
As soon as you get 'em trained, they quit.

But that's okay. I believe that I worked a miracle cure on a near-troother here at work, just by sending him a bundle of urls to Mark's invaluable pages.

Mark, take a look at my sig line. That's you, man.

Mark,

I've been around long enough that I've watched you go from forum noob to the "Jack Webb of 9/11 CT's" (just the facts, ma'am). You have impressive research and organizational skills.

Glad to hear you're sticking around the forum.
 
You're one of my heroes, man.

But yeah, the war is over. It was a fad that peaked in September of 2006 and has all but fizzled out now. It used to be that you couldn't mention 9/11 on a forum, even if the forum was about football or video games, without running into a gang of conspiracy nuts. Every week another actor or the odd politician was coming forward, talking about buildings falling neatly into their own foot print.

Not now. Now, you only find a few truthers, on sites devoted to the topic, their posts alongside threads about bigfoot and the Apollo moon landing. they're laughed out of the room anywhere else they go. The 9/11 CT has been discarded onto the ash heap of fringe theories that will never completely go away, because the followers are immune to education. No reason to keep poking around the pile.

I actually think several of us have come to the same conclusion at around the same time, as the truthers here get fewer in number and younger in age, and seem to be mostly out to start a "flame war" as a form of entertainment.

But let me make this clear: I in no way regard the time spent on the subject up until now as a waste. The best lesson in critical thinking is in seeing it in action, seeing how it demolishes woo. Everyone who came into this topic with doubts and learned the truth by watching brilliant people breaking it down, has benefitted from the process.

Repeatedly stating the obvious feels like a waste, but it is crucial in a world where the obvious escapes so many. Mark Roberts, they should teach a class on critical thinking in school, and you should write the textbook. And every single freaking kid in America should be required to take it.
 
Gravy,

Yet another lurker here, I just wanted to add my own thank you for all the work you've done and the resources you've provided on your websites.

Your website was the first one I found after being subjected to LC, and it was an oasis of rational thinking after being subjected to that horrible movie.

Anyway, thanks again for all you've done! :)
 
Just want to add to the chorus of "Well Done's" and hoping you have a nice retirement.
 
I have not been active at posting at all in this forum but I have been a longtime reader. The information you and other debunkers have provided here has helped me debunking in a Swedish forum. I would not know this much about 911 and the truth movement if it wasen´t for you and other debunkers at this site.
I can understand why you want to retire from this part of the forum but it will be sad to not see you debunk here anylonger.
So thanks for the information you have provided here and at other places.
 
I accept!:k:
