Let’s get a few things straight…
I’ve had a few questions asked by a couple of people about the ‘disagreement’ that apparently got my membership at ScionJunky.com frozen.
One of the other members started carrying on about getting un-justly banned from ScionLife once, and accidentally banned a second time. He continues to rant on about his ‘mistreatment’…
I commented that in truth the user had been banned for cause four times, not the once wrongly and once accidentally he claimed, to which he responded that I was mistaken and should get my facts straight.
Right about then my ability to respond at ScionJunky was blocked by the0ckid82@gmail.com who refused to answer my e-mail asking why.
Anyway, since there were questions, and since it does bother me to be accused of not having my facts straight, I present the “facts” here for others to judge. It is much better in the open.
The “facts” as presented are all from publicly available information, made public by the user himself. Gathering this information did not require any moderator access – it was all from public posts and public profiles made by Rob.
*The “image” referred to in the above listings:
And a page capture of further images from one of Robert Saverio Viscardi’s pages.
(The above image files are also available by searching “viscardi” in my gallery here.)
Now that I have the public information connected and published in this one spot, I’ll let others decide what happened, I’m through with it.
One of the things I strive for is a reputation of honest, straightforward, un-biased actions as a moderator at all the sites where I’ve moderated.
Anyone calling my honesty and accuracy into question should expect a strong response. In this instance it was easy because I didn’t have to delve into any further information I might have access to as a moderator: All the information is readily available to anyone with internet access.
One of these days, I might even get a response from the0ckid82@gmail.com.
UPDATE
I attempted to contact the top dog at ScionJunky on 02DEC2005 to find out what the problem was, and to see if he knew why I had had zero contact from the0ckid82@gmail.com in nearly two months of waiting. I knew my original e-mail went out since the site owner was CC’d on the e-mail and responded with the following back in October:
hi tom,
perhaps you should talk to theockid82 about it.. he’s the mod that blocked you. i haven’t been following anything lately and so i dont know what this is all about.
however you seem cordial enough in your emails i cant imagine you doing anything that would warrant a ban.
contact theockid and see what he says
chris
My e-mail to Chris on 02DEC2005 was simple and straightforward:
Well, Chris, it appears that ‘theockid82’ doesn’t want to respond to
the same e-mail I sent to you (you both got it), so I guess I’m still
at a loss as to any explanation or understanding. (In fact I wrote
this up on my blog, too, but you don’t want to see that, I’m sure. :o)If there is some way to get ANY sort of response from whoever
‘theockid82’ is? I’m open to suggestions…The ban notice is the ONLY communication I’ve ever received from
‘theockid82.’Take care,
Tom
The first response I got back from this new e-mail was a delivery failure notice telling me that the e-mail address for Chris was no longer good. *sigh*
I re-sent the e-mail using the webmaster address from the ScionJunky Site (complete with failure notice so they could sort it out) and got the following reply from Chris:
ur unbanned
enjoy
So, I still have no idea why my posting at ScionJunky was blocked for two months – the person who blocked me refused to respond – but I am now back and posting sporadically on ScionJunky.com
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Huh, by chance I’ve met this character recently the spin-off site made by SL-banned “Wyldekard”.
I do like to play with people, to manipulate (guide them) towards more fitting behaviors.
Rob.. now I connect that muscle-arm shot to this same person (I made a verse for that arm-portrait, not knowing Rob then)
Now I know him a bit. He’s a rough, crude hulk of a posing “Guinea Wop” (his term). He styles himself low and coarse.. he’s from a low-end upbringing.
I suppose this innate coarseness can be smoothed out a bit (only a bit) over time. So I work on Rob to, perhaps think more flexibly and.. this is a long shot: gain more empathy for the feelings of others.
Why, at F–F– forum (you there, Tom), he already got himself suspended.
But! I never lose hope for gentling down young male savages. They pose because they are insecure otherwise. Nothing’s complicated. Not even in me. I like to create. So do you, Tom. So you do.
