To follow up with what Hawkfyr said: How Ron behaves in public is nothing compared to the grief that he can dish out to mods and admins. I have saved some very vile and hurtful emails from this man. The decision to ban him from 3D Commune came after many long discussions. To be honest, Ron banned himself, he was afforded the opportunity to discuss things rationally, and to say publicly that he would follow the 3DC TOS. He refused to do so and then continued the behaviour. It was his choice. Now, to the scolding... He was entertaining yes, but, if he were ignored, would things have gotten this far? I'm not talking about the arguments. They were too easy to come by. I'm talking about this pseudo-idol worship that was set up to goad him on into continuing his work. His tutorials gained popularity out fo the fact that Ed Wood couldn't have done a better job. His tutorials were/are pricless for their unintentional campiness and near childlike enthusiasm. How many people read them for their usefullness and how many read them for the laughs? How many encouraged him to make more and more just so they could laugh behind his back? How many filled him with praise just so they could watch his ego grow and help push things to the inevitable end? I think, in the end, we are all guilty. Some more than others. I'm not saying that we should be sad that he's gone. Not at all. My deepest regards go out to the folks at PoserPros for having to deal with him. I just think we all need to be more careful.
