RE: The Bicker Board - MyManao - 02-19-2026
what you are doing is called SEALIONING... Just Asking Questions.
Traditionally it's called passive aggressive bullying. Of which, I am sure Freud could write reams on the subject.
In Hawaii, in the days of old, I imagine they just got sent to Waha'ula, and let the kahuna deal with it.

Hardly.
With all due credit to Ironyak, although probably not in this instance wanting credit, but what you are doing is called SEALIONING perhaps maybe with a side dish of Just Asking Questions.
And of course, while here in Puna, in Hawaii.
I've no problem with you thinking that I'm doing some relatively modern thing that some call sealioning, I'm happy to argue that especially as it's based on a comic strip, but MyManao just wants me to shut up and not post, and that's very different. And when Rob posts "And some say there is no god", I think others should be able to respond to that without being told to shut up.
The modern world, including Hawaii, has a much higher standard of living than centuries ago, thanks to science, not god. I thinks the examples of that are so numerous I don't have to mention them, but if you think I do, I will. On the other hand, MyManao just posts insults and wants me to stop posting.

And there you go. I don't think I need to say much more.

BTW, UKIRT has never had a librarian.In addition to the numerous moral and ethical lines I personally believe the above quoted post has broken, I also believe the quoted post above has shown the real character of the poster as someone who just has got to "OWN" any poster who stands up to the poster's endless attempts of bulling, or "sealioning" or whatever term one wants to put to the poster's blatant disruption of virtually every thread.
PS. Oh, just found it, and the person you're referring to is Kevin Krisciunas. He wasn't a librarian and is certainly an astronomer. I haven't seen him in decades; he was an odd character, but he's certainly a professional astronomer. So that's one of your lies ticked off.
PPS. I'll find his email address, drop him a line, and get his side of the story. He's still active and even published this year. And just to get this correct, your claim is that he wrote the text for your book, right?
PPPS. I've dropped him a line. Kevin is currently an Instructional Associate Professor Emeritus at The George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M.
I also further believe that the post quoted above sullies and degrades the purported education and occupation of the poster.
Additionally, after being browbeaten repeatedly by this same poster myself to divulge personally identifying information of myself and/or my clients and with the absence and refusal of me not doing so making me an automatic liar, I hope the poster can understand that the quoted post above is EXACTLY why I will not divulge any personal identifying information of myself and/or clients. and has nothing to do with me being truthful or lying about my occupation. The last thing I want is someone emailing one of my clients to verify who I am and what I say on an online internet forum in Pahoa, Hawaii.
To put it bluntly, in addition to the sheer absurdity of the above quoted post, I feel the quoted post shows somewhat obsessive/compulsive behavioral issues coupled with a possible borderline attempt at stalking. The very same behavior the poster appears to be doing to the Moderators and Owner of PunaWeb. With somewhat apparent immunity.

He sure is possessed, obsessively so. And thinks he's above all of PW rules.. and has not a shred of empathy. He can't even understand what Rob is saying. And Rob says it so calmly, so clearly. It baffles me how anyone could dis Rob.
As far as I can tell he's losing it. And digging himself a big hole that will eventually require being filled it back in.

If you eat at a restaurant and don’t care for the food, do you back to the same place, repeatedly, or after awhile do you just not go there? Even in Puna there is more than one restaurant. It’s a choice.

To be honest, I think it is more like a restaurant that serves pretty good and decent food, but allows one patron to come in, disrupt the all the other patrons, perhaps maybe even light up a cigarette and blow smoke into everyone's faces, while the owner and hostess look the other way and or tell all the other patrons "there are other choices."
RE: The Bicker Board - Moderator 2 - 02-20-2026

There is a blocking feature available which allows you to separate yourself from patrons you find disruptive.

Second, you clearly have no understanding of just what free speech is and that it only prohibits the government, not private entities such as employers OR social media websites from limiting speech.
Lastly, I see your values and convictions take a 180 degree swing when someone says they will email someone about what it is YOU said on a public forum.
