hmmm Since the banning just happened, I don't know why he had to "move on". I can understand moving on from the past, but that really seems an odd thing to say about new, contemporaneous events. Immature? I don't see that. Unless even mentioning an exclusion strikes you as immature? Fair comment- he mentioned the closing of SMBR, and describes it as a "sinking"- the posts had dwindled, it is a funny and apt comparison. Is it "fair"? that would totally depend on who is reviewing it and what sort of axe they have upon their shoulder, and what sort of stone they are looking to grind it upon (imo) :-) The line about fresh clothing and fruitcakes, very funny also. Unless you thought fruitcakes refers to insane people? I thought JC was just going for alliteration, using the repeated "f". Fair comment? Fairer by a long stretch then a lot of the comment here.

Your pompous, pretentious posturing is breathless to behold, Solon. You have been a busy little bee in these wee hours. I find it particularly amusing when I recall one of your behaviors which I am sure some other regulars here will recall as well. I can only describe it from memory in the most general of terms.... You were under SI suspension at the time, I believe for threatening other posters (not your first suspension if memory serves me). Then a flurry of posts appeared here in your defense, from a previously unknown person with a female-sounding alias. The more of these posts that were made, the more it became obvious that they bore the unmistakable syntactical signature of yourself. This little charade, performed in defiance of SI terms of use, and meant to intentionally deceive the SI community, continued for a short while ... until it petered out when too many others caught on to your game and exposed you. This is how I remember it. Don't ask me for "proof," because I do not maintain files of prior posts. If you deny that this ever happened, then by all means do so. There is always the possibility, remote as it may be, that this is simply the product of an over-active imagination on my part. Anyway, as I waddle through your righteous pleadings for truth, justice, and the American (Canadian?) way to uphold the sanctity of SI -- I will try my best to cast my mind into the spirit of the old admonition- "Do as I say, and not as I do." (Actually I won't have time this morning to do any of this at all, but I am sure the opportunity will remain open)
