I know I posted this somewhere before......but can't find it just now.........

"Behold the pale horse.......
The man who sat on him was death........
and hell followed with him."

From the movie Tombstone.

Well actually from the Bible ;) Revelations 6:8 'Und siehe, und ich sah ein fahl Pferd, und der daraufsaß, des Name hieß Tod, und die Hölle folgte ihm nach.' Sorry I'm more familiar with Luther's translation into German.

i love the rules on the main forums, can't discuss mod activity; to me that is real dictatorship!  guess we know why academia supports progressivism.

Sadly, all too true...

Wasn't it nicer when your mods actually had a conversation with you.  Asking for you to relax and let us take care of it.  Seems they may have gotten into heavy handedness again.  As I recall we'd call a vote and it would fail after 6 hours.  In that cooling off period you got yourself together and all was well again.  No need to make waves.  Save the ban for serious stuff.

Good to see you hanging in there Mark. Hope it's only a couple of weeks detention; six months would be outrageous.

The movie actually does credit the bible........Revelations.....with the quote.

I will know on the 7th if I am back on the boards or not.

Regardless, I have ordered up another GTX465 to add to one of my rigs.......
So, even if they choose to diss me further than that, I will be crunching in full force for the project that I love.

We shall see.

You can't hold down the kittyman.

Meooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

the Mods dont have the power to get a 6 month ban.  only the admins can do that.  that type of ban is usually reserved for folks like Fjernhode who insisted on posting private social security numbers and the spambots that troll the forum lands.  Mark you'll be back just remember what I've told you in the past.  Drinking and typing is one sure way to get yourself a ban vote.  Avoid that and you are pretty much golden

I wanna scream so much in anger at the few that have done this to me.............

A few in control with little compassion.

Meeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

OK.....I have vented.

I am better now.

I know I bring it on upon myself.....but those who are appointed to moderate things should do just that..........

And it does not take a two week ban to moderate me when I get off kilter.......much less the stated request for a six month ban.

A few hours will usually do......

Yeah, I know I get outta hand sometimes......but that is what the mods are for.
To keep things in check once in a while.  Not to come down like a ton o' bricks........

But then again, my thoughts about modding were not well received when I was a mod.

When I get prodded, I retort.......and I have never been one to back down from a fight.  Whether verbally, virtually, or face to face.
You buck me, you better have your ass covered.

Except the Setimods don't need no cover........they are shielded by their lack of recourse by us users.

We can't vote them in or out, we can't even get the rotation schedule once dictated by Eric.

If the rotation was in place, many of those modding now would be gone.
As it should be.

This has been a cyclical thing........
New mods...........all is good.  They get more entrenched, realize they have little to do.....much find something to nitpick.....
And I am always on the edge.......so when they really need someone to snipe at........you know who pops up on the radar.
And then I become a target.   

New mods.  New mods.  New minds. New minds.

A few folks think that I feel I have bought my place on Seti.........
Rubbish.

A thousand dollar donation of my own.......and 3 of the most successful fundraising drives in Seti history......resulting in 2 new servers and the most major shakeup in infrastructure of the project in it's history.....

You might not be sitting on pins and needles waiting for the next WUs to be issued, but for me.......might I dare say.

No, that should not 'buy' me any respect.  Many others contributed to make those drives a success.

But I do feel that I have earned a little wiggle room.

That's about all I have to say right now.

If anybody wants to diss me......

Do it right here, right now, to my face, where I can respond.

Otherwise, as Doc Holliday said......
"There, We can be friends again..."

Guess I'm deranged, but I just have to call.......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yDgkvWh3JQ

And believe me, my friends............I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Meow meow.

Cat chases dog over the streets of San Fran.

This scene is simply the best in the car chase genre......

When I was a kid in AV club in school, we had this.
And we cut a 35mm film loop outta the main reel to play again and again.......
Caused a bit of trouble........
I do still remember how to splice celluloid.

As I recall, it cost the school several thousand back in '72 or so to make all them splices.
I was told we had one of only 4 or 5 copies in distribution at the time, and some folks were really pissed.

Ooops.

No fake reality, no 'Industrial Light and Magic" sets or phantom green screens to back us up......

We just DID it......real cars, real magic.

There are a few links to the filming of the chase on youtube.........some I remember are probably gone.

Mc Q  broke a few axles doing it.  And I could go on about the duplicate scenes, and the number of cuts with the green VW at the curb........LOL.

But when it all got put together.......I wouldn't want to be the bitches in the Dodge. And.........if given the chance, I would own a Coke Bottle Charger rather than the Mustang.   
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-y1VUdnQXo


I know for a fact that the 440 Dodge could walk the Stang.  Any day, any time.
There was no real race..........that Dodge would take the flag every time.

I drove a Charger back in the days......never drove a Stang.......but I bested one at the lights with a puny small block version .

Even that one  pulled away strong.

Mark...................

After all your efforts on the 3 donation drives to make it possible I am truly sorry that you may not be there and posting when Oscar and SETI go online with the new servers.  Certainly does not seem fair.

At least you will be able to share in the fruits of your work when SETI resumes work distribution.

Now that's the kind of modding I can live with.....
Hand it to me straight, dive in and edit the post if you think it's out of line.
Just no BS threats about banning my arse.

No problemo, Gecko.
