Veteran Status Revoked

[Eudaimonium]

I see that Tech Junkie still has enormous grip on the forum, despite being banned for almost what, two years now?

He makes a new account, blurts some 4 posts out of his a$$ for sh*ts and giggles and boom, 4 pages of drama. Repz to IE for putting it plain as it is. I specifically remember TJ referring to his reputation and post count as "my green gems all mine mine mine" (that's an actual quote).

In any event,

SBA - if you ask me, you ain't revoked from anything. A "veteran" is an imaginary term people around here throw around. It's so loosely defined that the only reason it's still being used as a word around here is for the lack of a better one describing "somebody who probably knows their laser sh*t".

I will disagree on your opinion how some new tech pops up there first, before being let on the public. Seriously, you aren't being blocked from any access to anything new or exciting, unless you consider donating three-figures to new projector murder funds exciting.

You got skills and enthusiasm. The diversity of stuff you've built is larger than some official "veterans". You're perfectly able to help out any new person looking for help starting out in the hobby, and you do so frequently.

You are a veteran to me.

Now, since it's f**king 900°C outside on majority of Northern hemisphere, everybody grab a cold one and chill :beer:

I was sticking up for you too numb nutz. He bends the rules for Dr. Laser, but spouts in another thread no one is above the rules. I'd be pissed if I was you.

They ONLY reason why they started being strict with the rules is because LaserBeak hit 1K posts. Otherwise nothing would have changed.

If you had not figured out I dont care about being banned.

Dr.Laser was in the Vet's section long before the current rules were established. One of the most basic rules of law, is that laws are NOT retroactive.

How did you guys figure out that I'm in the vet's section? Unless I'm missing something here but I'm NOT and I have never been a part of the Vet's section.:thinking:

Haha priceless 4 pages of drama over absolutely nothing! You guys crack me up, maybe facts should be established first before, everyone blows off! :crackup: +1 to Dr Laser that made me laugh! :beer:

Edit: Seems fitting...

I figured you had access to it, but never posted, from when you tested the forum software.

If you're not there at all... well that's just icing on the cake for me :bday:

+4 for making me smile.

 

[Dr.Laser]

I'm seriously surprised to get back on the forum and find 4 pages of drama over some BS that TJ throwed in the thread.

 

[Stin]

This was a good read.

 

[tonyt]

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

All I wanted out of the thread was a pat on the back, a "sucks, huh, bro?", and a little understanding. I see I came to the wrong place when guys like TJ throw a wrench into it, and when other drama queens want to twist everything I said into something malicious.

This wasn't about you, or debating right or wrong, picking apart my words to make your point, etc.

It's really fu(k!ng ridiculous.

Next time I want sympathy or compassion, I'll talk to my SO.

SMH...

if anything good is taken away from the drama fest, its 'let sleeping (flea infested asshat) TROLL-DOGs lie,(aka stay asleep) if you were not here and do not know any of the details -you should refrain from asking why or suggestions of Un- banning past members now PERMA -banned. two cents

Ok, so we reached that stage of the thread where we can now post random funny shit?

Good!

This one if for you SBA...

 

[offroadfreak8582]

Whoop what a thread i did not even care abou the vet thread till about half a year ago. I hardly look there

Anyway subb'd :wave:

SBA, as several have already mentioned you were not singled out at all. The fact is Avery did make a mistake when he allowed you access to the Vets section. I don't think anyone (afaik) had an issue with it. However it's obvious that Avery made another mistake (with Norby) was most likely reminded and had to "fix" your access to be fair.

I'd be disappointed too, so I feel for you. As you already know other then the daily giveaways of ultra rare wavelength diodes and the weekly giveaway of a projector full of 445 diodes, not much really goes on it there. Well unless you are into all the wife / girlfriend pr0n we openly trade there. :eg:

And don't let Mark (TJ) get under your skin. He is gruff and likes to stir up reactions from the uninitiated but has a good heart (Although he would never admit it!) and is still someone that I would consider a friend. It's funny to watch the different reactions from newer users and ones that have been around for awhile.
