I’ve had a few questions asked by a couple of people about the ‘disagreement’ that apparently got my membership at ScionJunky.com frozen.<\/p>\n

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’…<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Right about then my ability to respond at ScionJunky was blocked by the0ckid82@gmail.com<\/a> who refused to answer my e-mail asking why.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Viscardi<\/p>\n

*The “image” referred to in the above listings:
\n\"Viscardi<\/p>\n

And a page capture of further images from one of Robert Saverio Viscardi’s pages.
\n\"Viscardi<\/p>\n

(The above image files are also available by searching “viscardi” in my gallery<\/a> here.)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

One of these days, I might even get a response from the0ckid82@gmail.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>
\nI 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:<\/p>\n

\nhi tom,<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

however you seem cordial enough in your emails i cant imagine you doing anything that would warrant a ban.<\/p>\n

contact theockid and see what he says<\/p>\n

chris\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My e-mail to Chris on 02DEC2005 was simple and straightforward:<\/p>\n

\nWell, Chris, it appears that ‘theockid82’ doesn’t want to respond to
\nthe same e-mail I sent to you (you both got it), so I guess I’m still
\nat a loss as to any explanation or understanding. (In fact I wrote
\nthis up on my blog, too, but you don’t want to see that, I’m sure. :o)<\/p>\n

If there is some way to get ANY sort of response from whoever
\n‘theockid82’ is? I’m open to suggestions…<\/p>\n

The ban notice is the ONLY communication I’ve ever received from
\n‘theockid82.’<\/p>\n

Take care,
\nTom\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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*<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

\nur unbanned
\nenjoy\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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<\/p>\n

\nWriting is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
