I've been on the fence for most of this and have tolerated posts from HO, but I'm at my fill. His posts are rarely helpful, thought provoking, or relevant. He willfully changes the topic of any post he wishes to be about him (see
http://www.offtopicz.net/21089-most-days-i-feel-invisible.html).
His personality swings from being abusive and condescending to remorseful and depressed. It is my opinion that he has found that by displaying these emotions in a certain way, he can extract the most attention and conflict out of the community. This can be evidenced by those who have claimed that he was "making progress." He is taking advantage of the kindness, sympathy, and tolerance of both the OTz staff and its members. Crudely put, he's an attention whore. And while it may be true that he has emotional or psychological problems, in my estimation this forum should not be a place to diagnose, treat, or put up with his behavior. There are numerous members on here, both silent and vocal who no longer wish to put up with it.
I can honestly say that his presence here makes my experience less enjoyable and from here henceforth I will do whatever I can to ignore him.
