Not only HOS, but permanently banned.

These recent calls etc, have to border on criminal harassment.

Jesus.

Before anyone asks, I actually voted, 'no'.

Shocking, I know. 

He needs a serious intervention, I think he is still young, and I think there are other things going on.  This is not a "CC" case where it was decades of fraud and in this case, while he is harassing someone, I don't know if this is the proper step for this.   I realize that Dylan will find himself in the HOS.  That is almost a certainty.  However I come forward because even though this might be an anonymous poll (which can be easily revealed and made public anyway), and also because I would never buy from nor sell to Dylan, I cannot help but wonder if this thread or his eventual placement will only serve to make matters worse.

Very well written and definitely food for thought containing many good and valid points.  Especially this right here.

I get where you are coming from, but the empathy factor was put forward on his behalf by another Boardie way back when he threatened to destroy CGC.

How can I put this? He's not in possession of a full deck judging by his behaviour but there is only so much slack you can cut someone before enough is enough.

I'm not an unsympathetic or non-compassionate person, but this is clear sociopathic behaviour on his part and really it needs to be addressed.

I agree that a HOS tenure may ultimately do no good, but we can only work with the tools at our disposal.

[speedcake]

Is the kid troubled? Maybe.

Or maybe he just was never spanked.

I hope he finds a better path, and I can appreciate the sympathetic take, but at the end of the day he is nothing but a sore in this community. It won't be possible for him to learn a lesson if no lesson is ever given.

Wow , seems like there are some serious issues with this guy. Who harasses people over a comic book.

With two people now voting 'No', as is their right, this reminds me of '12 Angry men'.

Love that movie.

I have stood up for Dylan in the past at least partially for this very reason. 

And I'm very empathic to whatever else may be going on. The picture isn't always clear.

But I do think there needs to be consequences for intentionally harming another board members livelihood and reputation with unwarranted allegations.

I feel really sorry for him. Yeah we joke around and kid about his antics, but if he is genuinely harassing someone then he needs to take a program, something that will teach him social cues, thought stopping, positive self talk amongst other things like

C- consequences (what will the consequences be if I behave this way ect)

P-Personal standards (does this type of behavior go against the person I envision myself as or the person I want to become)

R-Reality check (does this situation warrant an overreaction on my part? Am I perceiving it in a way that might not be in tune with what is really going on)

Dylan's entire life revolves around comics, banning him from the biggest comic forum in the world could very well send him off the deep end. (Not that he is a real threat to anyone)

There is another life skill called 

F- facts,feelings

O-Options

C-Consequences 

U-Utilizing a plan

S-Standing back and evaluating

Most if not all people are born with the desire to be good and kind. Most people are not born evil. I'm sure choices and environments cause people to react in certain ways. People are molded into who they are by learned behavior, and they can be sculpted to be different people.

It's really sad that things turned out the way they did.

This forum is filled with a lot of good natured people who have a strong desire to encapsulate themselves into an ever evolving community. Then you have know it all boardies who only have a desire to suffocate people with their hubris and self absorbed ways, most likely born out of isolation and alienation from a society that has subsequently rejected them. I don't know what is in Dylans heart or soul, but he needs to search it out and find some self awareness, and rules of the hobby- that should be borne out of transparency

I wasn't referring to you at all.

People can change and life is filled with second chances- take it from me I know. 

[Hollywood1892]

Change comes from within. Internalizing can go a long way in manifesting ones 'Destiny'.

Choices can be a brutal thing to deal with, right Hollywood?

I know that. I was just thinking it was a bit OTT. I think having a dig at other Boardies who you may not get along with, and comparing them to Dylan is off, way off.

Of course they can. And anyone who has read my journal and taken the time to get to know me on a personal level knows that a considerable amount of my choices have led to 'lengthy consequences, but they know that I struggle with the desire to react in a self serving 'instant gratification' way all the time. And despite the fact I make pro social choices today doesn't mean I am not woken up in the middle of the night by horrific nightmares from my past, but I will continue to make good choices and not deny the little things in life.

I think Dylan really needs to find out who he is and where he fits in this world

I understand. And you make a lot of sense. 

[skypinkblu]

I haven't voted yet.. 

I'm not really familiar with what went on before, I just read snippets, got a few notices, but I'm really not that up on the prior problems.

 What went on yesterday was not good, what appears to have gone on regarding Instagram may have been even worse, but I haven't seen what went on there, I don't have access (nor am I signing up)..

He can't post until 3/25.  My personal opinion is that no decision should be made until he can answer the charges. He can't do that until 3/25.

As for banning, that's another issue. Most of the HOS people have not been banned (as far as I can remember) some were, but most were not. The Admins are very very judicious about issuing bans. Rampant shills are one exception.

The point system is incremental. He's not at banning stage at this time through the incremental system.

Like I said... if there is a room with a big button that says, "Do not push the button" sometimes you just gotta push that button
