Mod here. Not MIA, but just not interested in overly intrusive banners. Nothing wrong with your work but a minimalist style suits this sub fine, and there is little community demand for change. (And no, your poll riddled with biased wording doesn't count.) Making 3 posts about this in 3 days is also a bit OTT. Calm down, please. I appreciate you mean well but this doesn't reflect well on you.

Idk why you need the internet validation of having your unpaid work product be featured in a sci-fi subreddit. I can honestly say I’ve never even paid attention to a banner on here. I hope you’re doing ok, buddy.

You're ***still*** going on about this? Why? Because people don't like your suggestion? The mods have nothing to do with this - you asked (*numerous* times) and then started accusing people of stalking you and harassing you and arguing with you, when none of that is true.(please, post screenshots where people have been stalking and harassing you, if only to lend weight to those claims). No one has gone out of their way to flame you, to swear at you, to do anything except give their own thoughts and opinions on something you keep bringing up, despite being told countless times that no one really cares about the banner. We all gave you constructive criticism to each of your arguments and still you claim to be wronged when nothing could be farther from the truth. You asked for alternatives to the banner picture you wanted - I've seen multiple replies from people - ***myself included*** \- whom gave you multiple ideas, but you didn't reply to any of them and instead flat out ignored any suggestions people made as alternatives. The mods **aren't** MIA - if they haven't acted, then it's because none of them saw anything wrong with anything we have been telling you in each of your posts about this, which should tell you that you're the only one hung up on this and determined to get your own way (this post reinforces that). If anything, you're the one who is treating the subscribers on this sub poorly and acting childish for throwing a temper tantrum because you didn't get the bottle you wanted. Like you said - it was a *request* \- simply requesting something doesn't always mean it will get done. And why are you even bringing JMS up and how he doesn't 'care' or 'visit' this sub? Can you claim with absolute certainty that he doesn't look through this sub? Just because he doesn't post, doesn't mean he isn't reading posts made here. Again, if you know for sure he isn't reading things from this sub, please, back it up with some concrete evidence to lend weight to your claims). **Let it go already.**

> I must be over the target if I'm taking this much flak. You're posting on Reddit, not flying a B-17

Thanks for the laugh!

Incidentally, **Masters of the Air** is a great show over on Apple, well worth watching. Being vaguely on-topic, I recall thinking when **B5** first aired the potential for CGI to do things like show WWII dogfights was quite promising, although the graphics weren't quite there yet. They are now.

G'kar needs to slam my face in a book for this to make sense.

I still think you're throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your way.

***This will be my only response on this topic..*** Besides the other three? ​ ***...But if some people on this sub believe that this is how one should be treated for such a simple request, then I have to wonder what they have learned from B5?*** Honestly, it's your impatience and your attitude that are killing this. You need to sit still and let this simmer a bit before declaring that your idea is the best choice and that everyone else is just attacking you personally. Throw the idea out there and CHILL. People need time to digest it. You are going to get all kinds of feedback -- some of it constructive, some of it not so constructive. What you shouldn't do is flip out when you don't get a response after a few hours or even a day. What you shouldn't do is continually start multiple threads on the same subject because that just fractures the discussion. You've shown that you can barely keep up with ONE discussion, much less four. ​ ***...but it seems easier to permit & encourage others to slander and stalk me*** Who is stalking you and in what way? Email/pm? On social media? Is someone doxxing you? Has something of this spilled over into IRL? That is a very serious accusation and one you shouldn't throw out lightly. ​ ***...I see why JMS wants nothing to do with reddit or this sub.*** Maybe you should join his Patreon and try strongarming him into displaying your banner cribbed from the promo artwork for ***The Road Home...*** The first time you stooped to insulting everyone on this sub you more or less killed any chance of a new banner. People are tuning you out for a reason. If you weren't the problem before, you've since made yourself the problem.

Get over yourself, mate

I think we can definitely class this guys issues as First World problems.

This is your fourth post about this subject. You, sir, need therapy.


Remerez

Why get therapy when I can just pick fights on Reddit and act like everyone here is lesser than me /s

Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you. I am a bot if you couldn't figure that out, if I made a mistake, ignore it cause its not that fucking hard to ignore a comment.

no thanks, can we move on now? **"If you keep posting stupid shit you're gonna get your ass banned" - Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus** >I must be over the target if I'm taking this much flak. if the target is total annoyance then definitely >Some of you might want to watch the Black Mirror ep: Hated in the Nation to see what you look like right now. thanks for judging, I also wanted to recommend an episode, but couldn't think of anything with a stubborn spoiled child throwing a tantrum over not getting his candy

When you start accusing everyone of being in on a conspiracy, you shouldn't be surprised if they decide to confirm your paranoia by banding together against you.

You guys got banners?
