This might have been addressed somewhere in the myriad of pages that have arisen since this was posted, but for me, the interfering with someone's business comes from the slander posted on Instagram.  That's 3000 followers who may never do business with Polonsky based on unfounded claims.

The problem with that is you have 50,000 people in here with 50,000 opinions.....each one different. 

If I had based it on the Instagram stuff, I would have dozens of people screeching in here that it didn't happen on the forum and shouldn't apply......or some other excuse.

That is why I based the nomination on a rule violation that happened on the actual forum.  It was a clear violation of the rules.  It happened on the forum.  And a moderator was able to hide the thread before the accused was able to edit or delete it (which as many of us know.....he has absolutely been known to do in the past).

For the record, it does not matter where it happened, all that is necessary to sustain a nomination is that the parties involved are Board members. The Boards practices a kind of "universal jurisdiction" and Boardies can bring complaints from any venue provided it concerns the actions of another Boardie. So a deal broken anywhere is a deal broken, for example. In this case a malicious attempt to harm another Boardie's reputation is a legitimate basis for a nomination no matter where or in what manner it was perpetrated. The limit always is the ability to document and substantiate the nomination.

I couldn't even finish reading his first email because it was giving me a headache. Seems impossible to have any kind of a logical discussion with him. He doesn't realize the hole he's digging for himself. How could anyone ever trust this person or do business with him? I'm a firm believer that people can change for the better, but starting to have my doubts with this one.

There's only one way I see this playing out after Dylan gets back from vacation and I think it'll be the exact same way every abuser uses to try to get out of punishment and worm their way back. He will deflect, make excuses, and try and garner sympathy for what he did "I would've stopped, all he had to do was talk to me on the phone, so really it's Polonskys fault", "I'm a really nice and very proud person and sometimes I just get so upset I forget to think before I act when I think people are disrespecting me", "Everyone was ganging up on me I had to defend my self. They just don't like me, and they want to pick on me". Then it will be half hearted apologies and "I'll be better in the future if you give me one more chance". 

Generally those with a history of abusing don't have much hope of changing those behaviors, and I'd say with the attitudes he's shown to other boardies and other platforms it's clear he has no intention of doing so. Were this an isolated event a second chance would be warranted, but it's not, and if allowed to continue it won't be the last. If there is no genuine punishment for wrong doing will he ever learn these kinds of behaviors are wrong?

I've seen people saying something to the effect of "Well he's young he doesn't know any better" I'm a 20 something myself and I can't let that be used as an excuse to justify his behaviors because it belittles and brings down my entire age group. Even if I had someone to bank roll my own comic business I'd never act the way he does. If you want to be taken for a fool, then by all means let him continue to do what he's doing, but know that you're willingly being played like a  fiddle.

Sorry for building that wall of text, it's my final take on the situation I won't do anything but thread carping from here on out.

The age thing should never have been an excuse. He is 20 or whatever not 4. Kids don't get enough credit for learning to function in society and perform in much more adult ways than people would expect. His performance in the Polonsky thread wouldn't be expected from most children. He was the aggressor and escalated a deal that his lowball badgering completely ruined into a full-on conflict. Who sells to him given these tactics?

It was definitely eloquently written, but I was the same way, it was just a bunch of verbiage and positive impression management, like someone wearing a bow tie and tuxedo to a job interview at McDonald's

It's because a lot of these kids are coddled without any accountability, like a 16yr old kid getting in two accidents within a month of getting her driver's license and still being able to drive the family car

Indeed.

It is a tale

Signifying nothing.

It may be slightly unfair to lump the previous generation into a neat little package...I work with Millennials as well as older Gen Z's and they can be as hard working and unassuming as young adults from Gen X, Boomers, etc...

This generation seems a lot more self serving in my opinion. But I'm not overgeneralizing I'm just saying the interaction I have had with the youngins has been strained
