WHY?!

Well Remco.. They have banned me again for about the fourth time again. But I am just going to keep comming back.. I wont hide my identity like some members, as I have done nothing wrong and simply feel that I have the right to participate while the troublemakers are still here.

I also noticed in the sci-fi section that the daggers are still out and so Raist has decided to have a go at me after he knew I had been banned.. Maybe he didnt think I would reply.. Considering that it was actually him that started this whole drama I had with that KirkTrek guy by claiming I bad mouthed him when I simply didnt even know who he was at the time.. I am surprised that he has shown his face.. Especially when I took him at his word when he claimed he knew nothing about what had happened.. I guess the devil you know hey!..

Its just a shame that this is what this forum has come to.. I only joined FSM 3 or 4 years ago to escape the crap. And look what happens.. They find their way here eventually, and the decent members suffer because of it!

Cheers,
Chris

The forum rules are pretty clear on the expected behavior - and it's not at all dissimilar to other forums rules regarding membership & etiquette.  While I'm all about someone being able to speak their mind, to do so in flagrant violation of the rules and after being warned by Moderators multiple times - as well as having multiple posts edited for flaming content - that your behavior isn't acceptable doesn't make me feel sorry for those folks.  You agreed to the rules of the forum when you registered - or re-registered.  And to constantly re-register at a forum where you've been BANNED just so you can tweak the nose of the Moderators...?   Does that seem terribly mature?

 

At some point, with all due respect, don't you just need to move on? 

Life's too short to keep stressing over a forum.

My thinking exactly!

 

Well well well.. I wondered how long it would take the vultures to start circling?.. You are priceless Griff.. I just wonder why it took you so long to poke your nose in? And in the second thread in as many minutes too!

I guess if it is a case of "not getting over it". Then I guess Griff, you still feel the need to have those little digs at me!.. I have avoided contact with you for months. And here you are!..

To answer correctly to espins comment. I understand your sentiment mate and have gotten over it. And so have accepted the mods decision to ban me.... Never a point that I didnt.. I infact even told them to ban me, if they felt that by responding to the people that had caused all the trouble with me would pose a poblem. I even made it clear that if they wanted to attack me privately, then I would make it very public.. In otherwords, I was sick of guys beeing a**holes privately, and then playing Mr nice guy on the boards.. Griff knows all about that. I still have a few lovely emails of his that I have always kept and treasured!

Anyways, I "am" banned. I lost my post count, and usual user name... As for re-signing. I always make it clear as to who I am and never hide under different aliases in order to attack others, and cause trouble. Another thing that cowards that cant have discussion like grown ment also love to do!.... Its also not a matter of comming and annoying the mods. Its a matter of not allowing people to just say what they want, and not accept a responce for their troubles.. As I said. if you want to lay into me. Then if giving is what you like. Then maybe you should learn to take.. Sadly most of the people that I have had trouble with, cant take.. 

My own worst enemy is myself.. I dont believe in running to mods. And I certainly dont believe in allowing people to say what they want without substance.. If that makes me a bad guy, then so be it.. If someone says something publicly on the boards that is in any way untrue about me. Then I should have the right to set the record strait...I think everyone has that right!. If it was just a simple matter of taking things privately. Then I wholeheartedly agree.. Its just a shame, that some people play by different rules, and know how to minipulate the boards and the mods watching them.... I am Chris. And Chris only!

Cheers,
Chris

 

And I have a number "lovely" emails and PM's from you too, Chris.   

You know.. I had avoided you since the end of last year, and was actually not even interested in continueing on in this vain with you. Yet after all this time complaining about how I had given you a hard time, you then come back now after all the water had passed under the bridge and have your little dig at me.. If it is a matter of "not getting over it". Then Griff, why did you feel the need to join in on this discussion?.. Considering that you only lurk in the Sci-fi section, then I doubt you even know the members that were banned, or the reasons why?.. Maybe if you read a whole thread, and not just the last 2 or 3 posts, you might realise that your dig at me has nothing to do with what this is all about.. sheesh...

That's a lie.  You've gone after me unprovoked a number of times since the end of last year - heck, just in the last 60 or so days since I returned from my last Deployment.  You just happen to have the good fortune that pretty much every one of those attacks has been deleted or edited by the moderators.  Your first and second posts on this page were heavily edited by the moderators: /forums/12/694042/ShowPost.aspx#694042

They were kind enough to leave that second post on that page tho, where you tell them "Nice edit mod's!!!" 

As to why I showed up here...?  Someone pointed the thread out to me about you carrying on as if you are all innocent and that Mr. Usher, Ms Bothe and the other Administration/Moderating staff are the bad guys when that's hardly the case.  I felt someone had to set the record straight.

Regardless, I'm done.  Why you continue to re-register here when you can't follow the rules and when the staff clearly doesn't think you need to be here is beyond me.

 

For starters. I never blamed Matt or Amanda for "my" banning. I asked for it. I got it!.. Its not hard to figure that one out. The digs I have had at them, as have quite a few modelers from other subjects were the banning of good members. So I am not alone in the comments made..You might want to go all the way back to the start of "this" thread and read it properly you daft gitt!...

As for attacking you in the last 60 days.. I expressed a view different to your good self. The mods obviously knew that you lacked a thick enough skin to handle it, and edited it in order not to allow something to break out.. People are not going to agree with you all the time Griff. You need to understand that when you make public comments on message boards.... As for attacking you, it simply has not been the case. Dissagreeing with yes!. I will wear that one, but attacking you... Come on man, you are not a kid anymore..

I've always wondered why the small, sleepy little Sci-fi forum always attracts so much discontent. I stopped using it back in 2004 because it feels so much more hostile than the rest of the site forums. I do not think the SF forum is more hostile than some other sites, but it seems out of place compared to other FSM forums.

Rob,

I asked Professor Frink to run your question through the old Frinkatron 3000, and he produced a photofit of your average Sci Fi forum poster.    Explains everything...................

Now that's funny!
