It's none of my business I guess how this site is handled, but I don't feel Randy from VoodooFx should have been banned. Yes, I know he blew off some steam, but I think it was something that had just built up over time and needed to be let out.
Maybe at the top of this forum, there should have been a sticky where Randy could have introduced himself, told everyone what he does and what he has done in movie FX and such. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience.
I have noticed that in the past, that a lot of his input has gone seemingly ignored in posts, why I don't know. I mean, this guy knows more about lighting and Fx than most of us will ever know in our lifetime! He has rubbed shoulders with the best of the best. He knows ALL those guys from the model shops of Star Wars and such! Do you really want to lose him? He never comes off as some know-it-all [JERK]. He's an honest, down-to-earth guy. He's always willing to share methods, idea's, and his knowledge. I can't begin to tell you how much he has helped me in the last few months.
It's not a personal loss for me, because I talk with him on the phone every few weeks and we have some really great conversations. That won't change.
But, a lot of other folks around here will be missing out, and that's pretty sad from my standpoint.
I'd like to hope that you guys could talk things out with him, wipe those bad posts away, and get him back here teaching us full time again. Please allow other folks to comment, and not lock this post right away. I think this is something that needs to be strongly reconsidered. Thank you.
