What drama did I miss that caused the recent spate of bannings and the obligatory post deletions?

I don't recall any, unless you mean the server transition which caused a few posts to go missing?

It appears Franko has been banned along with a few other people apparently.  Don't know why though...

What in the world could Franko have been banned for?
I do remember him being haunted by a couple of characters that insisted on posting inflammatory comments directed at him, but he usually handles crap like that with humor.

If you must know, Kesa and I were chatting about pancakes...
Then Argo comes in and says "Man, I love the MOD thing..  I can do anything I want."
Kesa says, "Well, within reason..  I mean, you don't BAN people for no reason."
Argo retorted, "I could do that..  I'm a MOD."
I said, "No way you'd do that..  And abuse the sacred oath of the MODs!!"
And Argo said, "Oh yeah, just dare me!!!!!  I'll show you!!"
And Kesa said, "Yeah..  Well, I then..  I dare you!!  Next person who posts!! I bet you won't!!"
Just then, Franko came by and posted, "You know, I'm in such a good mood that I was going to apologize to anyone whom I might have accidentally offended..."
And Argo said, "That's it!  You're banned!!!  See Kesa!!"
And I said, "Wow..  But I bet you wouldn't do that again..."
And just then, Magnetic popped by and said, "I was just reading Random Acts of Kindness and wanted to talk to Franko about a few things we can do to help the community"
"Bang," Argo snapped.  "You're banned too!!!!"
"Wow," both Kesa and I stated, awestruck..
Then kd7ota posted "Hey, what's up?"
"BANNED!!! BWAHAHAHAHHA," laughed Argo, with a smile that would make a nun drop her bible and run...
"What was that last one for?" I asked Argo...
"Because...  I'M A MOD!!!!  Any more questions!?!?!"

"No sir," I said...

"OK then, " said Argo, "I'm off to help a new user who needs a bit of help..  Have a good one!"

And that's exactly what happened.....

That it can diminish your Intergrity?  Yes I know, it was spelt that way on the side of the bus...
Title: Re: OK what happened?
Post by: fishy_fiz on March 28, 2011, 07:45:01 AM
For those that missed it, it was basically Magnetic doing his usual, "I hate franko therefore I'll say all sorts of crap and try to twist it so I can justify threatening him" and Franko responding almost as stupidly, then kd7ota piping up about how much he also hates franko and joining in the threatening Franko crap. This spread over a few threads and basically the 3 involved would antagonise each other at the drop of a hat. It was pretty pathetic in my opinion, by all 3 invovled.

The funniest parts though was when Magnetic yelled and screamed completely irrationally about something that he instigated, and threatened Franko with physical violence for questioning his "intergrity", something that the very rant cost him of. Then along came kd7ota and joined in like a little lapdog. He reminded me of that dog in the warner brothers cartoon that wants to befriend the bulldog, "I can tells you where there's a cat (*bounce bounce*), 'cos we're pals right? (*bounce bounce*)".

I must admit Im pretty happy about the outcome, although the reprimand was a little light in my humble opinion.

Post by: koaftder on March 28, 2011, 08:39:20 AM
Franko got banned? Cool. Why is it that I always miss the insanity as it unfolds?

Anyway, I expect he will get banned several more times before it becomes permanent. He keeps pushing the envelope farther and farther. He's changed the nasty gram on the front page of his website in the past few hours at least twice regarding his ban. This isn't the first time he's used the main page on his site to rail about something or someone in a childish manner.

I'm sure Franko is hitting F5 every other minute on this thread. Hey buddy, if you're reading this, take some of your time out to find a therapist or something. No shame in doing that.

Watched it unfolding in slow motion.  Franko was being set up and kind'a fell for it.  But the integrity spelt incorrectly bit was the best line in the whole tirade.  Personally I think it was a bit unfair when Franko was helping "as usual" rednova with his "I will expand my A1200 thread" and he was mugged by Magnetic.  Of course he couldn't resist.

Post by: Franko on March 28, 2011, 01:57:36 PM
Here It Is straight Frae Ra Hoarses Mooth... ;)

It all started one bright sunny day just after midnight,

There I was having a nice wee philosophical bit o banter with my good friend and highly intelligent wee chappy Magnetic about life, the universe and selling dodgy Amiga's at inflated prices... :)

When... poof... in a cloud of green smoke all of a sudden up popped a real nasty evil wee troll called kd7ota and began chanting and growling in a hideous and nasty garbled voice about how he was going to pulverise me into the ground and making derogatory remarks about my ex-wife... :(

Now to say I didn't take too kindly to this would be a just a wee tad of an understatement and so the war began... :flame::whack::swords::quickdraw:

It was a nasty long drawn out affair, handbags and fur flew everywhere, there were words bandied about that would make a sailor blush but some of the posts were the most humorous posts that I've read or written in long time, but the war spilt over from one thread to another as the three stoogies competed to see who could insult the other the quickest, in the meantime no other poor sod was able to get a word in edgeways... :(

This led to some of the voiceless complaining to poor Argo that they weren't getting a chance to post their keech as the three horsemen of the apocalypse had started an all out war here on A.org (the fourth horsemans mummy said he was grounded and could take part) and the posting rate was so frantic that there was a chance the whole site may just implode in a puff of purple smoke and destroy the earth, mankind & the whole of cyberspace into the bargain... :)

So up stepped the wise grand wizard Argo, with his book of magic spells (A Mods Guide To The Internet Vol III) and he waved his magic wand (that he'd just made from an old lollipop stick and a wee gold star he found that he'd been awarded when he was in the brownies) and banished the three foes to do battle in the voids of cyberspace... :eek:

For forty day & forty nights (well it seemed that long) the three battled it out in the voids of their minds and darkest recesses of that place they call moobunny where all the warriors and weirdos go to do final battle until one emerges victorious... :)

Well after a long drawn out battle, in which some very rude and choice words where thrown back and forth between the three battling numpties (I got hit right in the goolies with a well aimed "you bitch") I emerged victorious and though slightly wounded by an almost fatal blow from a tickling stick right to the temple but here I am standing tall (albeit with a slight limp and one of me eyes gouged out) to once again bring joy, wisdom and absolute keech to the masses once more in Amigaland (and not forgetting an abundance of those smilie faces that I know sooo many of you absolutely love me placing in me posts...:))

So all you good folks of Amigaland, rejoice and celebrate cos I'm back to save you all from the mundane and boring things that happen in everyday life with a quadrupling of my posting rate, even more smilie faces and of course some of the most inane and absolute load of jobbies you're ever likely to read anywhere in this truely bizzarest of bizzare places called the internet, where nothing is quite as it seems and is just a figroll of someones very warped and twisted imagination (most likely Adz mind, cos that's the most bizzare place in the universe, cept for Kesa co he's froma an alternate reality, Australia I believe it's called)... :)

And that's the whole story of the day Amiga.org went mad.... :D

The End.

(or is  it... ;))

All creepy and black with glow in the dark green text that made me fell like I was trapped in a badly written episode of Blakes 7... :nervous:

It was strange over there being amongst all those sane people, but after digging an escape tunnel and at first popping up on the wrong site (it was an Atari one with only 1 member who wanted me to stay a while) I managed to find me shovel and finally dug my way back here to safety amongst all the other nutters... :)

Welcome back.

While I concede that you appeared to be more on the (aggressive) defense, than the  attack I felt that all 3 involved deserved to be reported to the a.org "powers that be". Now I dont say this to harp on it, but rather to try to alleviate my slight sense of guilt for having done so, and equally for being happy that action was taken.
Anyway, no need to drone on it, I just felt a little hypocritical for conversing as "normal" without 1st bringing that up. All that said and done however,........

Did the Atari guy offer you candy ? Mum always warned me about taking candy from strangers, and they dont come much stranger than Atarians. Well, maybe Amigans, but that's a different type of strange......

@ Darrin

Blakes 7 was one of the best Sci Fi series ever (even with the shaky old second hand Dr Who sets)... :)

Always had a thing for Servalan though... :D

(http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af79/frankosamiga/Misc/Servalan01.jpg)

Never quite understood her taste in men though... (if he was in there then even I would have stood a chance...maybe...) :)

(http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af79/frankosamiga/Misc/Servalan02.jpg)

PS: everyone settle down now, who said what and who did what and who never said this or maybe said or did that... don't matter... :)

The consequences of being banished to the darkness of moobunny are unthinkable, take it from me 24 hours there and I nearly went sane... :D

Post by: magnetic on March 28, 2011, 10:00:59 PM
Ok i'm going to correct the falseness being spread here.

1. Franko threatened to kick my ass first (as did this other nimrod Retro whatever - and why did he threaten this? Because I was trying to buy a blizzard A1260 from a usa buyer and so was he and the us buyer said he didnt want to ship overseas to AU or wherever and I agreed its problematic and this guy wants to kick my ass now *sigh* what a child.

2. When I first had a problem with Franko I tried to PM him to tell him to stop spreading false rumours and leave me the hell alone... instead of doing so he stepped up his harassment and lies.

3. This fool goes around saying I ripped off amiga people on amibay and else where. Which is a complete lie yet he continues to do so over and over (how would any of you feel if some moron acused you on amiga forums of ripping other amigans off? )

4. I mentioned his ex-wife because I saw a post he had talking about how him and his ex wife used to sit around smoke cigarettes and drink coffee and play video games all night while their little daughter was "trained to empty the ashtrays and make coffee" This tells what kind of person you are dealing with and for me this is just a complete shame.

5. I'm glad you guys all love this guy who gives usually wrong or cryptic advice, talks idiotic scottish slang just to do so, hijacks threads constantly, etc etc because now he is quadrupling his post count. So now even more spam and childishness on aorg. So now, when serious people who used to have amigas are curious about aorg they see posts like his and run away. SO ENJOY HIM


ps Oh as far as the "intergiry" or however I spelled it, Yes its quite funny i have to admit. Being a college grad and writing sentences the way ( i had other spelling errors) I did shows you how infuriated I was with this no life loser.

This is all i'm going to say about this peasant and i'd love to know what settings I can make to completely ignore all of his posts?? please?

"User CP" link at top of screen, then in the left hand navigation bar, select "edit ignore list".
Enter the member's name in the box and press OK.

Useful functionality.

oh, lordy!

I've been busy all day and just got back. and what do i see?
I know magnetic - we worked together on a past project years ago and he is a decent person. I really don't enjoy seeing all this rancor.

now, I am also familiar with the "Scottish personality". so I find Franko, well humorous.

I think we have a large misunderstanding here and I don't think it's good. So let's stop all this and calm down

thank you

Ok i'm going to correct the falseness being spread here.

1. Franko threatened to kick my ass first (as did this other nimrod Retro whatever - and why did he threaten this? Because I was trying to buy a blizzard A1260 from a usa buyer and so was he and the us buyer said he didnt want to ship overseas to AU or wherever and I agreed its problematic and this guy wants to kick my ass now *sigh* what a child.

That was me and i never said kick your ass i would never hit anyone NOW breaking every bone in your body and putting you to sleep i would gladly do in a heart beat you pompous ass.

And in regards to that 1260 i was first or second in line you tried to push in the seller never had a problem with sending to Australia you just wanted a bargain so you could reseller that a higher prices, it wasn't just me who thought your thoughtless self servicing attitude was getting to greedy (even for you), but anyway i have never seen any helpful info from you so i must gather that all you do is troll and try and sell Amiga items at over inflated prices. :D

Like i said if you ever want to come to Sydney let me know i will be more then happy to get you to know our great hospital system first hand... :banana: :p

Yeah, you're right that we've never had bad words and I in fact remember having a nice, polite and friendly exchange with you waaaaay back over (I think) the FastATA.

Honestly, just chill out and stop taking this thing so seriously.  If we were all in a pub then this would be over by now and it would be time for someone to get the beers in.

Take a breath, let it out slowly, have a laugh about how silly this has all become and let's get on with discussing the Amiga.  :)

First, I have never reported anyone here. I am Trying to have an intelligent conversation.

You can disagree with magnetic on any issue you like, but I really have to point out that if anyone is accusing him of unethical and UN-business like behavior I will have to disagree. And I object strongly to this slander.

Actually by the response you had to her shows you are either an ignorant immature child living in a fantasy world, or you are an old ignorant immature child living in a fantasy world. Either way just stick with amiga topics for your own good.

If the idiot recalls correctly (and anyone who read it can verify this) magnetic threatened me first and I replied to him with a post asking him to supply his address so that when I'm over in the USA this summer we could sort it out in person...

I haven't touched the one in my A1200 yet and I haven't had any time off to do anything since Christmas.

I managed to get a week off at the start of the month and spent that with my kids and playing around with a Chameleon.

Hopefully when I get home in 3 weeks I'll have an FPGA Arcade to mess with.

Right now I'm in a hotel in Texas and then next week I'm off to a small town in New Mexico around 50 miles from Roswell!  I'm hoping to get abducted my nymphomanic sex-vixens from Venus who need to me help them re-seed their planet.

Oh it wasn't bad. Just wanted to point out that as a low income US resident I don't have much effect on my politicians, the banking trade, or our deficits in spending and trade.
Heck, there are times when I envy the Arab world. Better to be protesting and shot at then suffer in poverty with no hope.

But its nice to know that with all the horrible things that have been happening in Australia, the economy is still good.

Take care Kesa.

Dunno if it's the same family then but the doc I saw they were led by some old crackpot preacher and the mother and kids were actually picketing American soldiers funerals and waving banners and shouting disgusting things at the mourners... :(

Dunno if it's the same family then but the doc I saw they were led by some old crackpot preacher and the mother and kids were actually picketing American soldiers funerals and waving banners and shouting disgusting things at the mourners... :(

Surely there can't be two families like that in Texas... :eek:
your description is the family in Kansas. they travel around but live in Kansas

and, yes, they are crazy

Thank gawd for that and there's not more of them, from what I saw in that doc they were one scary bunch of crazy folk... :eek:

Believe me I'm all for freedom of speech and to be honest don't believe in wars and the military (whomevers country they may be from) but there are some things in life that are taboo and picketing a soldiers funeral is one of them in my opinion... :(

fortunately, there's a biker group that go to all these funerals and place themselves between the honored and the douchbags (the kansas family) so that those attending the funerals are not disturbed.

that is what I love about free speech. it shows who is a moron and who is not.

Unfortunately, this "free speech" moniker used in USA is no longer real. There is no such thing as free speech here. If you only knew the files the govt keeps on people labeling them as subversives you would realize this. Or, if you take into account the secret police that infiltrate demonstrations and protest groups to make lists of people,take their photos, etc etc etc..

especially since "Homeland Security" creation FEMA powers extended, Military used in policing citizens, and "Patriot act"

OK, I too find the label "Patriot act" offensive.
But I love what cecilia just posted.
Classic freedom of speech.
Explains why when the ACLU gets the courts to grant the right for local Nazi's to hold rallies the police have to defend the Nazi's against the counter demonstrators that would beat the crap out of them.

I understand what you mean - when i refer to Free Speech I am talking about the first amendment as it was written, not how it has been corrupted

We are all adults here and hopefully know right from wrong. Amiga.org should be a fun site to discuss Classic Amiga, Amiga OS 4.x, MorphOS, AROS, Amiga Forever, Minimig, NatAmi and whatever fun new type Amiga stuff comes out. It's not a site for personal attacks or stating my Amiga solution is bigger and better than yours. Hopefully the mods don't have to become baby sitters, that would not be fun for anyone.

The reason people don't get violent with this family is because the rest of us (like me) are rational. We know acting violently against someone we disagree with is just plain silly.

Civilized people don't prefer violence.

Surely everyone knows it's the sailors? ;)

Which is ironic as much as it is sad, as your entire civilisation is built upon violence and murder.

All civilisations come to power through violence and murder. Then they keep it going through violence and imprisonment.

I know a lot of people don't agree with my views on what constitutes Amiga and Workbench code compatibles and that's fair. Everyone else's opinion is just as valid as mine.

1. keep the above in mind (I will improve on this too myself)
2. try your best to ignore personal attacks and if offensive just notify a moderator.
3. always remember we all/many shared the wonder of Amiga in times of rubbish Wintel, Mac, ST and try and share positive thoughts about past/present/future Amigas.

I'm not a mod but will try to do the 3 steps above, hope you all agree this is the way forward.

(free reign on attacking MS/Apple/Jazzed up PC with C= sticker sellers though :roflmao:)
