I'd like to take a moment to ponder the sad passing of one of this subforums favorite punching bags, Ace Baker.
Mr Baker passed into the realm of the banned early this morning. (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=89328)
Please, leave some of your favorite Ace moments to honor his memory.

As outrageous and wrong as his theories were, we cannot say he was without passion for his work.

What was it that got him banned? I thought I read that it was a rule 6 violation. So he was spamming the forums?

Personally, I prefer pounding his idiocy into the ground to silencing him.

This would be a discussion better served in Forum Management (http://forums.randi.org/forumdisplay.php?f=19)

I was looking forward to hearing about his reception at the Morons' Conference in Madison.

Does Ace post anywhere else on a regular basis? Maybe we can get him over to SLC.

I think he kept starting new threads based on the same topic (his asinine, video fakery delusion), even after being warned numerous times.

Well since he can't stir the pot here at JREF anymore, it looks like it's back to playing with little girls dolls (http://www.acebaker.com/Pages/Films.html) for old Ace.

Ahh, so his repeated breaches of the rules finally caught up with him, I see.
A well known line from T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men springs to mind:
not with a bang but a whimper

And now William Rae has been suspended for 3 days. Who are we going to obsess over until he gets back? ;)

I think Jimmy Fallon's "Car Wash For Peace" has a better chance of ending the war than anything by Ace Baker.

Please take a moment to remember another fallen troofer.
Mark Dice, Alex Jones' idiotic and more obnoxious gun loving christian clone, is taking a break from harassing former child stars, invading cinemas' and lectures. And he explains why;
I do not have the time nor the money to continue the show. Once every other week or so I would plug the book at the end of the broadcast and ask people to support me if they like my videos and the show. I can’t tell you how many times after the show is done I will not even sell one copy. More often than not, it’s not even a single one. I can’t remember the last time I sold two books after the show.
With google video being so popular, many people just watch videos for free and never buy the DVDs and support the film makers, and it seems people are even more reluctant to buy books. I'm almost out of copies of The Resistance Manifesto and have NO MONEY to print the new run. It’s going to cost about $7 thousand dollars.
Gosh, hey Mark did you pay for copyright clearance on the MSM stuff you used on your videos? No? THE IRONY ITZ BURNS!
I'm very disappointed in the movement, not only for not supporting my work, but for not fighting for the cause. I showed everyone how easy it was to jam radio talk shows like Hannity and O'Reilly. I should be hearing a half a dozen calls every day about the Illuminati and 9/11, yet I hear none. I have stopped listening to these clowns in hopes of hearing a caller slam them on the issues, because it doesn’t happen.
We are the last hope for this country and our way of life, and I’m wondering if most of 'the movement' hasn’t been moving at all. Just sitting by watching. I am certainly not giving up, I am just regrouping and prioritizing my time. I will still be making videos and doing truth jams. I have some other big ideas I’d like to execute in the future too.
I for one am tying a yellow ribbon for Mark.
It's not nice to laugh at someone who's undergoing financial hardship but;
I'm making about HALF the money at my day job than I did last year because business sucks and the economy is crap. I work in sales management
It's hard to feel sympathy for someone who works in sales management, and spends his spare time harassing people in bookshops.

I'd like to take this moment to post my fondest memory of Ace.
I'd like to, but I have none.
So here's a spider wearing a doorag. :spjimlad:
