Banned from other Super-8 Forums...

[Alex]

I enjoyed my brief stay on the Shooting 8mm forum,
but when Mattias verbally attacked me and insulted my video editing background on one of the super8 topics, I responded, and was subesequently banned from that forum for defending myself.

So for any of you who visit that forum, and visit here, please leave a post or two here so we know you exist. I hate to say this, but visiting and NOT leaving a post is basically worthless to the regulars who would enjoy meeting you.

What makes the other forum (not located on Hostboard) so addicting is that they e-mail you whenever there is a response to a topic that you have responded to, AND you get a direct link to that actual topic. This hyper activity then lends itself to many participants staying active on that forum.

Here, you have to bookmark our forum and use your bookmark even if you get an e-mail notification. So you have to be a little more diligent with this forum. [img]wink.gif[/img]

What's with you Alex, we thought you would have been banned on your own board by now! [img]confused.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

There were two topic posts. The link below was the true ground zero. After Mattias's initial insult he then "upgraded" the discussion by mentioning Brantley's forum. Considering that faked Id's were used against me on Brantley's forum, acting like that has some "precedent" is ridiculous. Mattias then deleted his most insulting post to me after thinking about it.
I had already responded to Mattias's comment before Mattias decided to delete it. Mattias did his own editing within a certain time frame so that an edited by comment doesn't appear.

This next one was just bizarre...


Dropping Camera Prices...


And finally, my post called Kodachrome God, that I sent a link to very high Kodak Executives, INFORMED Kodak about Shooting 8mm...and many of the Kodak executives checked out the forum because of my topic post and contact with the Kodachrome "God".

God of Kodachrome Processing

Nice Job job Shooting 8mm, all the america and corporate bashing that ensued sure was smart.

For all the good Roger has done for Super-8, his continued hostility towards me has not been good for Super-8.

i did not. i asked a simple question ("why are you doing this, honestly?"). it was you who got defensive.

alex was *not* banned from that other board, let's make that very clear. he left because his attitude wasn't appreciated by the other members, and as far as i know his account is still there and he's welcome back any day of the week.

and i encourage everybody to actually read the links alex has posted. if you do you will see something completely different from what alex claims is in there. look especially for who becomes personal and insults the other's professional level first (it's alex), and why i deleted some of one message. i edited the post before alex replied since i didn't think i was being fair to him, that's why it didn't get marked as edited. alex tries to make it sound as if i deleted it because his arguments crushed it, which of course is laughable at best.

But you DIDN'T know what you were talking about. You got in over your head and nothing made sense or stayed on topic. You're only sore with Mattias because he busted you on it.

Ah, so the smart thing to do is make a "sticky" and advertise it to the world? If I had been banned from TWO different super 8 forums for unacceptable behavior, I don't think I'd brag about it, Alex. Oh, that's right, it's everyone ELSE'S problem and has nothing to do with you. Unreal. You know, if you would only admit every so often that you don't know about something instead of trying to bluff your way through a discussion and if you showed even the slightest bit of regret for the things you say that are out of line, then perhaps you wouldn't have to create your own forum just to have a place to post.

My justified hostility aside, what I've done for super 8 wouldn't amount to a hill of beans and you've done even less. For you to think any alleged mistreatment of you affects super 8 is delusional. Neither of us is that important.

Of course I'll "brag about it"....since both times BOTH you and mattias were on the very topic post that led to my banning.

lets not forget that I had already posted a 100 times on that forum and had helped numerous newbies with answers to questions that others didn't know.

And Roger, if you really don't comprehend that film resolution is so above video resolution that you can actually zoom in on a film frame and actually increase the film resolution when transfering the zoomed in image to video, then you are a blooming idiot.

News flash: No one cares.

However, it certainly makes your obsession over this matter clearer to what little constituency you have left. Keep it up and, who knows, you might even get booted off your own forum, Alex! But then again, you seem to be the primary poster here so maybe I'm stating the obvious. Have fun playing to an empty house and let me know when your friends finish your much needed intervention. Then perhaps you'll drop the paranoia, learn some humility and discover how to play nicely with others.

Mattias. here is your quote that set me off....

please alex, enough already. you have no idea what you're talking about.

/matt


And yes, I have been banned.
