Heh, that'd be pretty hilarious, Mere:
Frank Black Banned From His Kingly Website
[Bronson, MI (Reuters - AP)]
In a bizarre series of events yesterday that culminated in a warrant for the arrest of Charles Kitteridge Thompson IV, alias Frank Black and Black Francis, Thompson was banned from his own fan forum, FrankBlack.Net.
Thompson, the indie rock legend who spawned the Pixies and a subsequent 11-year solo career, allegedly made a disparaging remark about one of his songs, I'll Be Blue*. A long time member of the forum, Justin Fargus*, whose alias was derived from this same song, apparently took the comments personally.
Fargus is then said to have attacked Thompson, his music, and his flannel shirts, spilling cyber-blood throughout the forum. The fight raged until the heroic efforts of moderator Dave Noisy (I bet you thought I was going to say myself, didn't you?) led to a cessation of the violence.
Thompson, it is rumoured, then posted a picture of Fargus as Tinky Winky in a compromising position with Po, and relit the powder keg.
"I was reluctant to ban Thompson at first, as he is, after all, the reason we're all here," said Noisy, "but when he took the personal information from Fargus' profile and flew to Bronson to 'Bury his fist in [Fargus'] face' and added a second hole to his Takamine, that was too far."
When pressed on whether the ban would be permanent, Noisy declined comment, though anonymous sources say that Noisy plans to enforce the ban until Thompson is acquitted of assault charges made by Fargus. Noisy would not say whether access would be revoked if Thompson was found guilty of evading arrest but not of assault.
Fargus has refused to comment, but Dean Katsiris, Thompson's lawyer as well as close friend and musical advisor (that's right, I got it in there), claims that Thompson was acting in self-defense in Bronson and that Fargus had instigated the violent encounter which also injured 326 bystanders.
While the question of who started the fight will probably never be answered, it is clear that Thompson and Fargus will not return to FrankBlack.Net until at least next week.

Alright, it's Friday and I don't want to work. Maybe Frank will be lured back if only to clear his name. :)

Heh, maybe I should take out the little giveaways like the comments in parenthesis. :) It'd be funny to see some overanxious news agency take it up.

| Nothing like starting some rumours to get fb.net some exposure. Your next article could be a transcription of your interview with Frank where he gives the low down the Pixies reunion, and comes out of the closet. |

wouldn't surprise me. It seems loyalties lie with the swimmer for some reason I've yet to comprehend. Nice article:)

that is hilarious! and yes, if it were changed slightly, so it seemed more like a real report, and maybe involved the pixies reunion, and we got rid of this thread that had us planning, we could start to circulate it, MTV would report it as fact, NME would follow suit, before you know it it's being widely reported that Frank Black is banned from his own forum, vows never to write another song again, Dave Lovering takes over lead vocals for the upcoming Pixies reunion, Kim replaces him on the drums, Kelly Deal is drafted in on bass, Joey is out as a sign of loyalty to Frank, Breeders guitarist comes in to replace, Kim announces Cannonball, Gigantic and Into The White will all feature in the new tour, Dave insists on La La Love You and Make Believe...
Ahh, I knew that drink at lunch time was a bad idea. But at least I'm a Dog in the Sand now! Yay!

I just mean that The Swimmer should haved been booted a long time ago. I recently saw that Dave scolded someone saying that it was "not acceptable to speak to Jason like that." Why then is it acceptable for the swimmer to speak to people however he likes?

Mainly because *most* people are mature enough to restrain themselves when confronted....and he seems more likely than most to react with hostility...
That wasn't very recently tho, i don't think... |

He has a history on this board, dating back a year, of hostility. How can anyone that's been here for a year not remember the *'Assholes / Dont ya rile em' and *'USA involved in Sept 11 attacks' threads. His posts are contradicting it makes it impossible to argue. That's why I stopped. He should have been warned and/or banned back then. You let him continue and he almost destroyed the board. Okay, maybe that is a little mellow dramatic.
(* Not the correct name of the topics but close enough)

We've been getting way off topic in here. I'm surprised the maintainer of this site,  Noisy hasn't closed this topic yet. Besides his comment in the 'Frank Black Live' topic today, I would hope he'd start a new topic the next time he had something to say to us and not use this huge mess.
