"Profile (OnyaBirri) deleted because this user is no longer active."

I don't know why members feel the need to delete their "account" like some kind of act of defiance. Phelps did the same. Ive flown off the handle once or twice myself. I even made a rant post and took a break from FSM a few years back.

While Ive been admonished a few times by the moderators I think they are extremely patient and reasonable with their words and actions. Yet members fly off the handle like the moderators are unreasonable evil overloads pushing their power around.

Que Sera, Sera.

When you are banned, you account goes inactive. Anyway, Onya directly challenged the guy who runs this site to a duel... Onya lost.

Not a duel, more like suicide by cop.

Phelps is gone permanently?

Phelps, Bruce, now Onya, bad 12 months.

What the... sheesh, are people all just getting oversensitive and touchy? Is it the pandemic? It's just a message board. No need to get at each other's throats.
It's quite weird how riled up people sometimes get here over nothing.

Lukas, If you're reading: I would like to know the criteria for kicking somebody off the boards.

If it is simply deploying "a dick move," as you said of Onya's post, then why are so many of the rest of us still posting? Just recently we had an ongoing battle between two individuals and the comments, from both sides, were insulting personal attacks. Yet, they are still here.

In the past there have been other incidents like this without repercussions.

So why Onya?

Not criticizing or defending him, but I don't think he was trying to be insulting. Not his style.

It is not my wish that anybody be banned, but once you do it, then that begs the question: Why him (or her) and not x or y?

if it is simply that he demanded it, then, okay, but that demand was a heated response.

In general I don't care for banning people unless it is warranted. If his comments warranted it, then, again, why him and not others?

Thank you,

Greg Marshall

Well, like the old war saying, "You never hear the bullet coming for you...." Wait a minute, he literally asked for it!

Er...mr phelps is genuinely missed, but he was not banned, merely withdrew, frustrated.
Shows how much you missed him, litefoot, hes been gone 6 months!! big grin

Bruce was his own worst enemy, despite warnings. But i bet he still won Bruce Marshall's fsm man of the year award this year??! smile

I just thought he'd gone on one of his usual breaks. Define 'withdrew'. So his account is still officially active and he can return at any time?

I think phelps asked to be deleted. Very different from banning.

Not much. Onya asked to be banned unless Lukas laughed at his jokes. An ultimatum he was bound to lose. The ironic thing would be if he was joking, and again Lukas didn't "get it."

He did ask for it.

And to quote one of the posts in the original thread : " I can always count on Onya to take a big steaming dump in the middle of someone's thread going on about how much they love composer or film score X, then hiding behind a faux "who, me?" attitude when called out on it. It always struck me as kind of passive aggressive, in that the comments were always oblique and mocking; it was rarely an entrée into a deeper discussion of whatever he was dumping on "


Every word of the above is true, that was his usual M.O. Speaking for myself, it got old fast. I'd lost any interest in anything he had to say due to his smug attitude.

As the saying goes, if you have to explain a joke then it wasn't funny.

Onya thought he was being funny, but I guess there are times when whoever it is is just not reading the room.
One more example of what a nebulous thing humor can be.
It doesn't help when, instead of walking it back, you double down.

Anyway, rock on Onya.
Maybe we'll see you soon.

It seems Onya wrote:

"I demand that you ban me from the board. Immediately.

Either that or lighten the @#$% up."

LOL. I mean, come on... that's just pushing it. What else is a moderator to do but to say "have it your way then".

I don't agree with the "steaming dumps" comment. His style was more along the lines of not liking Spielberg, not liking Star Wars, not liking Bond movies after Diamonds Are Forever, that sort of thing. Stating his likes, dislikes, preferences, and so on. I can't recall any detailed dumpings on scores--and if there were, then is that reason to ban him?--and I certainly can't recall attacks on any individuals.

Again, why him? Or--why just him?

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant by "doubling down".
The previously-mentioned "suicide by cop" thing seems apt, too.

At any rate, this thread will probably go bye-bye soon--despite Brother Sol's benign intentions.
See y'all on the flipside.

But was Onya banned/disconnected from the board by the mods, or did he just deactivate his user/log on himself, like Phelpsie did?
