z3k3 thats what im trying to say. He is a total bully and is still harassing me. This feedback was just left today.

I shot him a call today and left him a message.

Guy seems incredibly unstable.

I really do not want to lock this thread...or any of the reproduction threads here created by this member.

The guy is not here to defend himself and there is no need to keep hashing this out.

Please move on.

Tom

Report the feedback to eBay and reference the closed case. They should remove the negative feedback and may even give him the boot.

And with that... moving along.

Pretty sure defending himself is what landed him in this predicament, but it doesn't really matter now, anyway.

Moving along..........

True, so touche. However, the many, many, MANY chances he was given had run out.

FIZGIG's reproductions were some of the most interesting posts on this forum. He will be missed by me for sure. Could the posts that got out of hand not just not have been locked instead. Hopefully this ban will not turn out to be permanent.
 
Guys, it's not rocket science... the ban description says it all. fizgig caused all kinds of drama, and his banning had nothing to do with whether or not he made 'restorations'. When presented with the smallest criticism, he deleted every post he made in a thread. That's not mature behavior. His banning was not specifically for any given thread, recent or otherwise; the recent threads were just the straw that broke the camel's back. Most of you didn't see even half of the fallout that we had to deal with. As exidy said in the feedback thread, many, many people were party to his temper tantrums but didn't publicly talk about it. After repeated warnings about behavior, he simply wasn't willing or capable of change.

I think he does incredible work, but that doesn't forgive his forum behavior.
 
I am partial to restoring and reusing original parts whenever possible. I also respect Jon/exidy as he's been around since the rgvac days, so I sympathize with his beef with Dan. However, it's damn near ridiculous to ban him, even with his drama and friction, considering he has provided so much to the hobby recently. I'm talking about repro artwork that's happened because of him, like the Alpine Ski overlay that I still need to order from TOG. KLOV just got a lot less interesting.

Yeah really. I guess we will have to make up with his lack of art repro discussions and custom projects by focusing on the shit ton of price checks.

Cant believe I am actually agreeing with this guy but I am.

KLOV also got a lot less interesting when Kaneda got banned.

why does everyone think he is the only one that can do artwork??? I have had numerous artwork done for me by others never had to use that dude once......

so I guess that everyone just wanted him around for artwork?
 
So does a guy who contributes to the community by creating great artwork get a wider berth to be a jerk than somebody like myself, who doesn't have art files or a ton of technical knowledge to offer the community? It sounds like a few people are arguing that the good things he does for the hobby should override his behavior, and I can't agree with that argument. Nor do I think that the controversial things he does should factor into a ban, either... he was banned for his behavior towards other members of the community, and his contributions (or lack thereof) shouldn't be a factor either way.
 
Guys, enough with all the bantering. This is simple.

Enough infraction points = perm ban.

Dude cocked off enough to get enough points. Done deal.

Why is there so much discussion about this???
