Guy Mariner Tucker (aka H Rocco), caringly referred to as His H'ness by some, was a powerhouse of information and trivia, and one of the most prolific members around untill he left the board around 2001...As MWRuger points out, he was very much into all things Japanese, and was close friend with Akira Ifukube, I believe. He was eloquent, a bit long-winded (but always interesting!) and kind. He also wrote several in-depth articles for the FSM magazine.

Wow, that was intriguing. A rare film glimpse into an FSM member. He had a somewhat odd voice, so it wasn't easy to make out everything he said, but he was certainly very proud of the Japanese people he had met.
Thanks!

Bumping this because of the other thread just started.
A couple of folks were mentioned that could be added here, but I'll leave that to someone who knew them better.
Does anyone remember a guy named Steve Johnson? He used a line drawing of Jack Benny for his avatar. I believe he lived in Texas.
He was a fairly prolific poster for a long while. His discussions were lively and he mostly shared my taste in music. He had a quick sense of humor, but not cruel, unlike some folks I won't mention.
Anyway, he disappeared a few years back, although last time I checked his profile was still active. It's a pain in the neck to locate a particular member's profile. The only way I know is to find one of their posts and click on the link. A chore for someone who hasn't posted in 5-6 years.
Anyone know him or what happened to him?
I could be wrong here, but when I read the name of 'Steve Johnson' and then the description of his avatar, well, it all rings a bell, as it were. Wasn't Steve Johnson banned? I'm fairly sure this is the same man who would bring up his religious views which were extreme and overflowed into nearly everything else. And his politics. Pretty sure he was banned.

Yep, Steve's still active on facebook last I checked, and for the record, he was never banned from here; he just drifted away of his own accord, and he's not the religious type, either (I think "saxplayer" got banned for that, though, if I remember correctly).
By the way, Ray, you can search the board by user name under the "Search Within" function above and choosing "users" from the drop-down menu.

He is currently sharing a ranch house with John Walsh, in Birmingham, Alabama.
UPDATE: Last seen Tweeting his outrage about Roseanne s firing . " The SJW/p.c crowd and the fake news have struck aGain!".

I've updated the first post with R.M. Eastman and RoryR. Controversial FSM characters or not, they deserve a mention in this thread.
Thank you, Thor. This thread is important for the community.

Charles Thaxton, "no relation to Ford", as they said, was a treasured member of the board for many years. As far as I remember, he was mostly interested in vintage 60s and 70s stuff, and although we never interacted much, he discussed with respect and understanding for opposing viewpoints. He passed away after a long and undisclosed illness in March, 2019.

R.I.P.
Charles Thaxton was actually a keyboard player and performed under the name CHAR-EL. He has released several albums in the prog rock/new age category. Here is his biography:

Btw, I like your "honest" writings about the FSM's board departed. They were people with good and bad sides, and I think that's ok to point out.

And my original Around The World... post of twenty years ago! Didn't catch the above reply of Timmer's a decade past. Huh. It's humbling.
