And the problem is what exactly?

You are free to post again, just so long as you sign your name to what you post and you offer a real email address...

That's his sandbox and those are his rules..

Accept them or move on...


If you accept responsibility for what you post, putting your name too it should be an issue.

I've done it for over 16 years.


Why can't you?

Well because I don't believe in posting personal information on public internet forums. I've done a bit of business, exchanged emails with several people on the FSM board, they know my name and my email address and I'll go so far as to say a bit of trust was developed in the process. Throwing it out there for all to see when so many use aliases (or handles as they're more commonly known), is something I don't believe is a wise thing to do online.

Bottom line, I get sort of sick of being made out to be the bad guy for having an opinion or my own way about me.

Would not have posted about the issue on this forum but what the hell. Blocked and handle deleted twice and without reason or good cause? A few words needed to be expressed.

I'm just wondering who the hell this "neotrinity" poster is. He seems to have a very high opinion of himself that I don't believe others share. Is there some reason why Kendall at FSM needs to pander to him in a somewhat obedient way? If so, that's his problem, I have no such obligation.

This 'neotrinity" should post his real name and email address instead of hiding behind his half ass shtick and routine.

And by the way Ford, my name is Victor. That's all the personal information I'm willing to share online.

victoravalentine, June 11, 2010; 4:37 PM

There are so many offensive lunatics at the FSM board which doesn't get banned even after repeated personal insults to the member named 'Thor' that this is indeed a strange issue.

goldsmithsonian, June 11, 2010; 11:42 AM

If they dont like your skin color, religion, politic ideas, or nationality, FMS administrators will block you from post.

It has nothing to do with writting or offering illegal material or using bad words. As Goldsmithsonian pointed out, you just need to read a bit some of the regular user's comments, and will find out they are racist, offer bootlegs, lie, and insult whoever they want, and Kendall supports them, and block you if those crazy people ask him.

My suggestion is you avoid that forum, is not really a big deal, and will die soon, only Kendall and his 5 friends will post in it.

This SC forum is better by far! (Imagine how good is, that FSM is constantly checking it, and give links to comments in their forums so you go visit it!!)

P.S. NOBODY on that forum (specially Kendall's friends) uses his personal name or publish his real email address. That is just FSM trying to get your personal info, and you should not give it, cos they are not responsable and will do whatever they want with it (dont be surprised if later you receive 50 spam/day). Its better to stay away from FSM.


nicolas28, June 11, 2010; 3:30 PM

@Thaxton; It's his sandbox eh? It's my reputation and I'll always defend it.

What would be nice is a simple explanation as to why I was blocked not once but twice from posting on that forum. An explanation can not be given because there is no legitimate reason. Only the fact a couple of nanzy-panzies got their panties in a twist.

I always stand behind what I say, so if you're saying I don't or that you or anyone else is more honest or upfront than I... Well, don't try it because shit don't float.

Expressing myself in such a way helps me considerably in dealing with the lame ass attempt of making it appear I'm some sort of a bad guy.

victoravalentine, June 12, 2010; 5:12 PM

So it's fair to say that no one at FilmScoreMonthly cares to stand behind their actions?

Yo Thaxton... Can you say "double standard" three times fast without twisting your tongue in a knot?

I mean if there's a fuckin' reason why I've been blacklisted in this day and age when all of that happy horseshit is supposedly in the past, I sure would like to know what it is.

I mean, it doesn't mean much in this day and age of a world going to hell in a handbasket but still... Exactly what the hell was it that warranted being dispatched to the outer realm?

I'm still thinking it has something to do with the lopsided oddball posting as "neotrinity". I'm not sure what the psychological term is but he suffers from some strange yet common disorder usually associated with having an ass that's too big and a head to match. If anyone so much as disagrees with that nut, lots of little clues regarding the reality, opposed to the facade of his true nature will surface in a manic and somewhat crazed way.

Who the hell are those "prestigious people on both coasts" he claims to represent?

He and several other shitheads posting there seem to be under the delusion that their opinions are more valid than those of the next shithead.

The Italians have a saying... "Your ass is big!"

victoravalentine, June 13, 2010; 9:53 PM

workingwithknives :

As I mentioned, you are wasting energy in a pointless cause.

Yes, its incredible people are racist, and discriminates everyone. Yes, thats what all the FSM staff is.
You cant change them, thats how they behave, and they are happy being that way.

FSM is just a bunch of 10 nerds who scratch their backs and all lick Kendall's bottom rear.

If you have an argument with 1 of those 10, the others will run to insult you and later Kendall or Sheriff Joe will block you.


You just leave them alone. Is not the only soundtrack forum (it IS the worst indeed) and is worthless to say bad things against them, cos their actions are enough to disgrace them.


nicolas28, June 16, 2010; 12:40 AM

@nicolas28

It's not a cause, I simply felt like speaking my peace. There's plenty of fine folks over there that I got along with beautifully.

Several cry babies really began getting their diapers all wet and smudged when I felt compelled to call attention to the fact that someone (posting as a 16 year old boy) asked a question about a supposed flaw on the Intrada disc of "Straw Dogs" was indeed a fraud and the post bogus. Suddenly I became the bad guy. My belief right now is that perhaps the poster was not only a fraud but perhaps a shill as well.

The punk who posted as a 16 year old boy was a fraud and a liar. I saw through it and felt compelled to let it be known.

"When seeking the truth, expect no mercy and show none." -Hunter S. Thompson

Lucas Kendall and company does a fine job on their CD's. Every now and then one comes along that really blows my mind. The "Marathon Man" and "White Dog" discs are gems. I don't believe he and crew are racist in any way as you say but I do believe they have to kiss some ass here and there in order to stay in business.

victoravalentine, June 16, 2010; 10:55 PM

Don't trust anybody who says he is new to the filmmusic community,
only a teenager and then asks some specific question about an
obscure score with music that is appreciated by only 1500 people on
this planet.

I sometimes get these kind of mails; "Hey, my mother loves this film,
it's her favorite, and I happened to see that this rare LP by Delerue is
in your collection. Gee, I would love to give her this score as a
birthday present." So I say part of the score is on a compilation CD
available at Amazon for 10 euro's. "Oh no, she still would prefer the
complete score from the LP on a CDR!".

chris, June 16, 2010; 6:46 AM

Well, if you read the now locked thread about the STAR TREK Club-release I think many, many people over there are somewhat 'racist' to people who keep thinking about stuff and not just buy and say 'yes and amen' to everything a label does.

Especially a label like Varese with a long track record of questionable releases/decisions, like the missing dulcimer in the main titles of their THORN BIRDS ... and many more.


goldsmithsonian, June 16, 2010; 7:04 AM

I think bias is a more appropiate description. Racist is an ugly word. I get the image of a group of neo-nazi skinhead filmscore punks.

Some of those guys dig Quincy Jones too much to be all that.

People are always going to augue and refuse to find common ground.

One of the many problems plaguing the FSM site is that damned "non-film score discussion" board. To me, that was an invite to rock and roll and really speak my peace about whatever comes to mind at any given time. For some reason what I had to say really bothered a few of the ill-regulars.

You know what I think about their ill-regularity? I say they can stuff it up their you know what.

During a sudden outburst by one of the ill-regulars, I was blamed for running people away from the forum. At first this made me feel sort of peculiar. I posted a new thread and asked if that was true. No one said yes and a few said no. So to the screwball who made such a bias and chickenshit claim, I say sober up and take a laxative, you dumb lying son of a bitch. I'm not naive enough to develop a complex over a mound of horseshit like that.

victoravalentine, June 16, 2010; 10:58 PM

"P.S. NOBODY on that forum (specially Kendall's friends) uses his personal name or publish his
real email address."

I do. There are plenty of others who do. Never had a problem.

Greg Espinoza

riotengine, June 17, 2010; 4:10 AM

Yeah but publishing your real name is a personal decision and not one of the rules. As I've stated, several people whom I have corresponded with or done business with (including Kendall) are fully aware of my name. To require one person to publish their name and not everyone else is definitely an example of bias.

I would really appreciate a simple explanation as to why I was banned. In a couple of emails, Lucas had more excuses than reasons. He said that I don't get along with anyone. That's very untrue. Actually I get along with most people. As in any situation, it's always a couple of people who are likely to complain about just anything. They do not represent everyone. Those who do not complain are seldom the ones who are heard from.

Kendall said I start political auguments. No I don't. Made a few wisecracks about here and there but basically, I'm a very un-political person. He couldn't give a solid reason as to why I was banned.

The guy who calls himself "Eric Paddon" on several occasions refered to me as a "liberal". No I'm not. If I have an opinion it's not based on any sort of political agenda. His opinion is rooted in political agenda, not mine. I personally despise and mistrust politics of all kind. I don't pledge loyalty to anyone.

All in all it doesn't mean much in the overall scheme of things. People are dying, people are suffering, people are choking on fossil fuel down in the gulf. But I'll continue to aurgue about this if anyone cares to hear what I have to say. Hell, I'm just sitting outside with my laptop in the warm sun of summer with nothing better to do right now anyway.

victoravalentine, June 17, 2010; 10:35 PM

If Kendall told "you are this and that" and you are not, if you get along with lots of people there, but only 2 are insulting you and NEVER got banned but they block you, and if they ask you to give your real name, but almost NONE has its real name on his ID and Kendall is aware of your name....

what do you get of this?

Cos for me seems Kendall is discriminating you for NO REASON.

Believe me, they are more than racist, cos thats not the only way they discriminate, they are like a Getto of soundtrack lovers, and you cant get in, unless you lick Kendall's butt, and to all his friends.



nicolas28, June 18, 2010; 11:59 AM

Hey all, LeHah here.

I've read your posts over the time you been on the FSM board workingwithknives and the truth of the matter is that I think you rub people the wrong way. I myself think you do it purposely but thats just me. I don't know you, don't care to know you and thats just how I see it - but I don't make the board rules either.

Long and short: I'm sure you and Lukas traded and email or two about your postings. Heck, I've gotten one or two emails in the past myself - but it does come down to "sandbox rules". Lukas pays for the board so he makes the rules. You'd be welcome to ban Lukas from a board you paid for. The internet is not a democracy at all.

You and I never especially got along and I won't say I'm surprised to see you got the axe but I am a little surprised you're ... not expecting this. I'm not sure if you're feigning ignorance or what but you had to know that a lot of people on the board were just cutting you down at the knees; can't remember which thread it was, but I do remember that happening in the last month or so.

As to Lukas discriminating against you (whatever that means), I get the feeling theres more here than you let on. FSM had a problem with some people using multiple accounts not too far back. It could very well be that he wants people to be a little more "honest" than hiding behind anonymous posts - though truth be told, I wouldn't sign up for a board that asked me to post my personal information or full name as my user ID, either.

But heres the truth: go on with your life. If you enjoy film music, go enjoy film music. You don't need FSM to validate who you are or what you listen to or whatever else. Godspeed.

halfimagined, June 18, 2010; 11:14 PM

@ LeHah; I remember the precise thread you're referring to. The phony posting as a 16 year old kid and asking about a flaw on the "Straw Dogs" disc. The track, the time, the whole deal. I checked the disc, there is no such flaw. As a matter of fact, I knew the post was bogus before checking my copy of the disc. I take exception to being played cheap by a half ass nitwit. No one cut me down at the knees. I'm firmly rooted on planet earth, my head isn't in the clouds.

The post found me in the mood to really let my feelings about such a liar be known. And then the condescending attitude of a few really began to surface. The refusal to acknowledge the simple truth... That the post was in fact bogus and that I was correct in calling it such. There was no poor, tragic 16 year old kid being victimized by the thoughtless uncaring bad guy. Screw that horseshit.

Who's that one broad posting as "joanhue"? Holy shit, what a fucking drama queen that one is. Always trying to convince others she has some sort of monopoly on caring and feeling. I don't buy it... And don't think for a minute it ain't for sale.

More to it than I'm letting on? Not a chance. As a matter of fact LeHah, I know that there's more to you than you're letting on... Taking into consideration the fact you're the one who on several occasions demanded that I be banned.

I think the lack of a simple explanation as to why I was banned twice from that forum speaks for itself.


Personally I really don't care about it all that much but it does give me a sense of personal satisfaction to point a few things out.

victoravalentine, June 22, 2010; 1:32 AM

That could very well be the thread but for some reason I'm thinking its not? I don't exactly keep tabs on why people post and where, just who I get along with or not.

That thread in particular was a little odd, I'll admit but I think you kind of jumped the gun. While I don't believe it was that kid's dad who posted that response (what kid lets his dad defend him on the internet?!), I do think that calling him out *in the way you did* was wrong.

And yeah, I called for you to be banned once or twice. Then again, I've been calling that for Thor for years and its not happened - even after he got caught e-stealing music from the FSM Superman box! - so that goes to show you how far my opinion on the FSM board goes, personal vendettas or not.

As to the whole "lack of a simple explaination" thing - well, it IS Lukas' board and to coin a quote from Neil Gaimen when the internet was complaining about a lack of Game Of Thrones books - "George Marin is not your bitch". Lukas doesn't answer to you or me - not because he's better but because its his decision on his board on his corner of the internet. Simple as that. And truth be told, if you really weren't bothered being banned from there, you probably wouldn't have posted here. Not casting stones, simply an observation.

halfimagined, June 19, 2010; 12:02 AM

The interesting thing is, I didn't notice you on that board until you began taking exception to what I had to say.

You see, I'm quite oftened annoyed by certain people myself, the difference is, I don't take it upon myself to try to deny them their own voice. And quite often I'll keep my opinion to myself, although there is a point...

As for convieniently forgetting exactly which thread it was where I was "cut off at the knees", as you put it... Don't try that nonsense with me LeHah. This isn't someone who is that easily manipulated.

You are right about one thing... Kendall doesn't owe me anything. He does owe himself though, just as I owe myself the opportunity to speak in defense of myself.

Bottom line, I did nothing wrong. And you are in fact one of the people who make a habit of whining and complaining about things that are really none of your business.

How about you LeHah... Does anyone owe you anything?

victoravalentine, June 19, 2010; 6:34 PM

Workingwithknives: The simple answer is that I have banned you because I don't like you. You
pick fights, you swear at people (including me), and I don't want you in our community. I think if I
printed some of your private emails to me -- which I won't, in their entirety, though you had
some real jewels -- some of the other users here would get a very clear sense of why I didn't want
you around.

(Teachable moment: if you are trying to ask a moderator to let you back on his board, do not
email him to say, "Now run along and [f] yourself." Gosh, you convinced me, what was I possibly
thinking to ban you!)

Best regards,

Lukas Kendall

lukas, June 21, 2010; 5:34 PM

@ Lucas; There we go... Finally a bit of honesty. You banned me because you don't like me. As for the rest, excuses and nonsense. I didn't pick fights with anyone and I didn't swear at anyone. I did use profanities from time to time but never directed at anyone. I tossed an "f-you" in your direction after having been banned because I was feeling a bit angry about it.

As for posting the email exchanges between you and me, feel free to do so, Lucas. If you don't, I might.

So what's this picking fights about anyway? Are you refering to posting a photo on a couple of threads of an 80 year old Milton Berle in a fight stance? That was just my way of kidding around and you know it because in your email you stated that some people don't share the same sense of humor.

I'm glad someone finally said it. I was banned because you don't like me. I appreciate someone saying they don't like me. It sure as hell beats the old circle-jerk routine.

I have more to say and probably will later on this beautiful thread. Personally I feel that the key to good mental health is in the act of self expression.

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 6:39 PM

Well...since that pleases you...the reason for banning you has evolved in a very organic way. First I banned you
because I warned you twice via private email (after member complaints about you) but never heard from you and
assumed you were ignoring me. (You wrote later to say you don't check that email address, which is fair enough.) But
the feedback I got to banning you was so positive, that I didn't want to let you back on as I had a feeling you'd just
cause trouble. So I tried work out a kind of probationary compromise where I asked you to post with your real name
and email address. However, you said you didn't want to do that, and asked me if this was a new policy directed
towards YOU, and I think I said it was really me not wanting to deal with you, and then you dropped some F's and
MF'ers on me, which validated my opinion that you would do nothing but cause trouble on the board. Then I think we
traded emails a few times where you asked to come back on the board, and I kept waiting for you to apologize for the
F's and MF'ers, and no apology was forthcoming. Then you posted on the board using a second account you either
had or created, and I banned that one too. Then you started this thread at soundtrackcollector.com. And I wasn't
going to respond but I know some FSMers were reading this and I thought my side of the story should get out there.
Which is that while it is true I really don't like you, the real driving force behind banning you, and keeping you
banned, is that you are antisocial, uncivil and inflammatory and if I were to let you back, you'd just go picking fights,
and I'd spend even more time dealing with you than right now. The only reason I am really posting here is to
disabuse you of the notion that you were banned because of my personal opinion alone or because you were "doing
nothing" to warrant it. It's because you cause trouble and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of
WorkingWithKnives to cause trouble on my messageboard. Thanks for your kind understanding.
Lukas

lukas, June 21, 2010; 7:05 PM

@ Lucas; A number of complaints about what? Positive feedback from who? This is the point where I should feel compelled to drop a few more F-ers your way but I won't because you'll point and say... see!

Cause trouble? In what way? I'd like to see a thread on your forum where I caused trouble with anyone. Point it out. My posting history has been deleted along with the account but anything that would validate me as a person causing trouble would certainly be there because everything I posted is still visable. And don't point out some wisecrack I may have said to that peckerwood prick Eric Paddon because I assure you I had damn good reason. It goes both ways. The only thing is... I'm not the one wetting my damn diaper about it.

Half ass snide remarks from that asshole "neotrinity". Indirect accusations against me and others. And then someone tells him to be specific about who he's talking about and he uses the old line of horseshit "You know exactly who I'm talking about".

It goes both ways.

Where's my posting history at? Let it be seen. I'd like for anyone who cares to look at it to have an opportunity to judge for themselves. Read my posts and see if there isn't a lot of heart and soul there. Nothing bad. Genuine passion and honesty. And most containing not a bit of negativity. And that's something to be proud of, sucker.

This means something to me. It's not that important but it still means something to me. I didn't go to your goddamned forum to cause trouble. I went there because it's a fuckin' film music forum and I've been interested in film music since 1979.

I have more to say and maybe I will... As if you're all a bunch of frigging angels.

Point it out... Lets see you justify your claim that I'm anti-social and all the other tired, worn out cliches that people use when pointing their fingers at another.

It goes both ways.

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 9:37 PM

Nope, no more time for WorkingWithKnives. I think your post above demonstrates the kind of
voice you brought to our community and I for one am glad not to have it. There is a lot to be
said for tone and you are just tone deaf when it comes to getting along with other people.
Sorry.
Lukas

lukas, June 21, 2010; 9:38 PM

That's a cop out and very cowardly, Lucas.

Just a bunch of heresay that no one is willing to back up.

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 9:54 PM

That's not accurate. A cop out is when you confess to something -- you "cop out" by telling the
cops you did it. ("OK, I robbed the joint!") What I did is avoid taking your bait. Sorry Charlie.
Lukas

lukas, June 21, 2010; 9:52 PM

You're wrong again, Lucas. I'm not trying to bait anyone. I'm simply defending myself.

And I'm also damn sick of you claiming I don't get along with other people with nothing to back it up other than your own personal bias.

There is nothing in my posting history on this forum that validates that and nothing in my posting history on your forum that validates that.

You're lying. I'm not baiting, I'm speaking a simple, honest truth.

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 10:24 PM

I respectfully decline to gather documentary evidence on what an asshole you are.

Lukas

lukas, June 21, 2010; 10:33 PM

I think Mr. Kendall has made his point about workingwithknives needs a time out....


Perhaps the owner of this site should close this down now, it's not worth going with more mindless rantings by workinrgwithknives (The person who is too much of a coward to sign his name to his post for this own paranoid reasons)...


Just a suggestion mind you.


Ford A. Thaxton

fordat1, June 21, 2010; 11:47 PM

That's a cop out.

Everything I say in defense of myself is easily proven true simply by an examination of my posting history.

No one is asking you to do anything other than back up your simple accusations.

There's plenty of baiting going on at FSM forum... I'm proud to say I never participated.

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 10:47 PM

@ Thaxton; Why don't you mind your own business. I've read a lot of complaints about you. What I'm doing and saying here is important to me.

Why should my voice not be allowed to be heard? I'm not doing anything wrong.

I've been registered on this forum for over six years and have contributed countless track titles and some cover scans. I've never had a problem here and now you want to make one?

victoravalentine, June 21, 2010; 11:32 PM

"@ Thaxton; Why don't you mind your own business. I've read a lot of complaints about you. What I'm doing and saying here is important to me. "

But, it appears not to most anyone else...

"Why should my voice not be allowed to be heard? I'm not doing anything wrong."

that's a matter of opinion, one not shared by the owner of the FSM messageboard and guess what?

It's his sandbox and you either play by his rules or you get tossed..

No one said life was fair..

But perhaps it's time for you too GROW UP and accept this as a cold and hard fact.

You've done nothing to but prove why he was right to toss you.

You are acting like a self-important jerk who feels he's ENTITLED to post on that forum.

Well, you are not entitled..

Accept it and move on.


Ford A. Thaxton

fordat1, June 21, 2010; 11:52 PM

@ Thaxton;I don't care about the FSM board. I'm referring to my voice being heard on this thread and speaking my peace here. Why would you want that not to happen anyway?

Self important? No, not me. Everything you guys say have little to do with the reality of the situation and nothing to do with me.

My posting history at FSM shows the statements that I'm someone who picks fights, anti-social and all the rest to be completely bogus.

Life isn't fair? Hey Fats, I'm 49 years old and have most likely experienced more out of life than you're likely to find at the bottom of a case of liquor bottles... And I'm saying this to you. Me to you. It doesn't represent the way I feel about anyone other than you at this moment.

And I say again... Show my posting history at FSM... Let it be seen... End the heresay and horseshit about what this man is about or else back up what is being said with proof that validates the accusations.

And I'm talking about the ENTIRE posting history... Everything that I posted on that forum and not just the arguments with a couple of people who are known to dish it out thick enough themselves.

Here you go, you self-righteous hypocrite... Here's an old thread about your online antics...

http://soundtrackcollector.com/forum/displayquestion.php?topicid=11992

victoravalentine, June 22, 2010; 1:57 AM

Thank you for proving my point with your own words...

One comment does stand out..

"Life isn't fair? Hey Fats, I'm 49 years old and have most likely experienced more out of life than you're likely to find at the bottom of a case of liquor bottles"


If you haven't figured out by now that life isn't fair, then I don't think you will

As for "liquor bottles" I'll defer to your experience on this since I don't Drink, but perhaps your comment is a clue as to your conduct....

Whatever, have a happy life.

fordat1, June 22, 2010; 3:36 AM

Okay boys,
I think everyone has said what he thought was right.
I want to stop this thread now, because everyone starts to repeat theirselves.

When you still want to communicate with each other, please do that with personal mail and not any longer on this forum.
Thanks everybody
