It's slightly baffing how someone so devoid of anything remotely charismatic could elicit so much sympathy. I say "slightly" because, given the overwhelming prejudices on this board of the "opa-opa" vein, you begin to see why. You think posting banal and unproven slights against Sony, posing as "honest" and "civil" dialogue about video games , qualifies as "good gaming discussion". You think self righteous posturing by some self-proclaimed authority on videogame purity contributes to healthy discussion? Opa-Opa is an incorrigibly stubborn and ignorant person, not to mention a socially inept freak who seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. He contributed nothing to this board, aside from countless threads possessing the sole purpose of inciting flames. I respect the mods for banning him. It was long past due. I would respect them less if he were unbanned, but I won't be so arrogant as to second guess their judgement.
Let him pollute another forum, but don't encourage his return.

You know, if Opa-Opa was reading this, he'd probably smile at more of the attention he's getting, since he can actually be notable, even when he's done programming for some obscure, old, most likely crap games, and still lives with his parents... ... Though no offense is intended, and I don't dislike the guy

It probably will be closed. I just needed to vent, in light of the overwhelming sentiment in favor of his return. How could anyone possible welcome back someone, or something, so utterly pathetic? Has the board taken a turn for the worse since his departure? Nope. Has the board been found to be lacking in substantive discussion since his departure? Nope. I made this topic basically because I got tired of seeing people plea for a repeal of his ban. It was sickening, frankly. Just because a socially retarded idiot like opa-opa has 10k or a million posts doesn't discount his idiocy any less.

If "overwhelming prejudice" and lack of "healthy discussion" is ground for banning someone, then SOSA you should be the first to go.

Very first post and you already demonstrated more bitterness and hatred than I had seem in Opa's entire career here.

Mandark I'm half black and half japanese. My dad's japanese and my mom is black. So your arguement doesn't fly with me. Admittedly, my racist "rants" were in poor taste and I apologize if anyone was offended. There's nothing vaguely "socially retarded" about me. I don't go on the internet begging for assistance with the opposite sex, the only member of which he's familiar with is his mom I'm sure. I also don't go on the internet and post arbitrary nonsense about another console because of some sick obsession with Sega. I'll probably get banned. And I'll just get another email. I got hundreds. So what. I just don't like seeing the pinnacle of stupidity, opa-opa, deified like he was a bloody saint. It's bullsh1t.

PS You don't think that your obsession with opa opa and your sick need to come to this board just to make an ass of yourself make you socially retarded? Eh, whatever. Oh, and that "I'm half black and half Japanese so I can't be racist" is such a ripoff of "I own multiple systems so I can't be biased." It's never worked and it never will.

Oh! Oh! My turn! I get to click the "ban" button. Wow...wait..wait..power surge going through body..bye bye Futami. Btw, get as many free emails as you can because we'll keep banning them.

I don't think so. I never went on the channel and conjured the most absurd reasons to reject a purchase of the Dreamcast. I spoke the truth, albeit abrasively, the truth nonetheless. Opa spews senseless babble about Sony because he honestly hates Sony and loves Sega. I have no enmity towards Sega, nor do I worship Sony. That's one, amongst man, significant differences between opa-opa and myself.

Mugthis, we could probably do that, but watching him constantly return under different names and trying to cover up his real identity is pretty darn funny. You should see some of the LOVELY emails we receive from him. It's funny because he thinks we care. Not to be cruel or anything..
