    Tribesy is not banned.


    With Tribes one has to take the good with the bad. He has an agressive, confrontational style, which is behind both his posting excellence and his...slightly unconventional manners. I myself was not always interested in a lengthy exploration of a subject together with him. I have, however, always considered him a fine asset to the Backroom. A one man force of nature.

    Tribes also did a great job in keeping the peanut gallery at bay. He made it difficult to get away with bollox.



    I'll have me a pint in Tribes' honour!

    I will add the following, take it for what it's worth. Right after Tribes' legendary spat with Frags turned ugly he was banned for a few days, he came into the chat a few times. Suffice to say it was...... not pretty. His behavior, attitude, and conduct was deplorable and nothing how one would expect a well-educated person to act. It got to the point where we were going to ban him from the channel and report it to Tosa, but it stopped just short of that.

    Never been active in the chat but I heard he could be very eloquent as well. Think he had troubles of some sorts, nasty divorce something like that (and too much alcohol), things weren't always like this.

    I cant say that I liked tribesman too much, but he had that certain charm that meant that even though I hated his guts sometimes I still could not imagine a Backroom without him.

    You can say what you want about Tribesman, but he knew what he was talking about when he posted in the BR. I don't know how he did it, but he seemed to have a lot of knowledge about a whole variety of topics.

    His style was... rude and seeing him posting something that resembled something that disagreed with what you just said, made you tremble in fear as you knew you were going to be spanked by endless strings of

    IIRC, he explicitly asked to be banned himself. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will come back because we beg him to come back

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    IMO he was the one would seem like he know a lot about things, but would ethier lie or whatever about his info + provoke you into a flame war, which would make his argument, accurate and correct or incorrect and immature look good.

    In a way I'm happy he's gone, .Org is better place without him imo. But in another way, I do wish he was back ,not because I like some of the stuff he and I discuss but because he kept me from falling asleep from reading crap in the BR even if I hated his stuff.

    Tribes left?

    Well there goes the last good poster in this place.

    He's worth the entire backroom members club and then some.
