I’ve been holding this back for a while as I do not want something to push me away from my hobby again but it has started to take a toll on me. After tonight’s events and from what I've read, seen and heard it's become apparent that this needs to be done.
bare with me 1/?

To provide context, I sent Xavier my RWS Edward model because I knew he would be helpful with giving me advice on the model and would enjoy it as well, which he did and I appreciate his feedback. However he posted pics of the model, which I don't mind of course-

-and Connor began questioning because I denied him my model(s) and unfortunately he got angry. Now I jumped in for good reason because I am allowed to send my models to whoever I please and If I'm gonna get stabbed at for it then please, do explain why I shouldn't be allowed

*one last screenshot to this too*

This isn't the first thing he's done either. He's begged models from me in the past.
the list goes in order
The Rock Crusher
(which I made in sketchup but never exported and he pestered me for that for about a year?)

Dexter
for a month or two until he either commissioned or asked MainlandStudios to make one
a Refreshment Coach and an Elizabeth for 3-4 months when I began working on Rolling stock, which at the time that's all I said I was going to work on and nothing else
Finally

Finally
In January or February time he asked me twice for my Edward model but I denied him access
"unfortunately most of the evidence was deleted because Knapford Warehouse was deleted last month, which is an absolute shame, although here's him asking for Edward twice

Really the only reason he's angry at me is because I partially, or in some of my friend's cases, came forward with the full on truth in February. While this wasn't aimed at all of that now non-existent group because I fully well knew at the time there were a lot of good people-

that group, prime examples that I can think of at this point in time are Jake and Ryan, who have shared their experiences with this person and I'm not gonna lie. The fact that these people are around my age and they've received treatment from this user, it's disgusting.-

-And you'd think that because of his age (which he's in his early 20s) you'd think he wouldn't of attempted to guilt trip a 17 year old and let that shit slide, apparently not. And I'll say this here and now, my apology? I'll be honest, it wasn't sincere. Nor was it the truth-

The many times he has said he would go on a break and change but the thing is has he changed? From what I can see no. Now it seems he's getting people who I've never interacted before to dm me and more or less harass me-

I've only had one dm so far but I can only wonder who he sends next. Plus these are people who aren't full aware of the situation, he's only told them said people one side and unfortunately it seems they've instantly taken his side. What's worse is whenever I join into-

a SodorWorkshops call, which is nice sometimes because some of the people in there are nice to talk to, but apparently I shit talk him whenever he leaves the call? Which in fact I quote some of the users in that call when I went back in there and questioned them and gave a brief

-explanation of the situation "which is bullshit." And that statement is very much true in fact. Me and a lots of other people want Connor to change, and we’ve given him multiple chances, but unfortunately since his behavior has not changed throughout this situation and many-

-others, I have no choice but to come forward with this. Thank you for understanding.

I'll say one last thing on this though
this has been building up for 2-3 years now, in which I've kept my mouth shut for good reason but no more.
And I'm someone who's dedicated to my work and I work really hard too
I don't appreciate being pushed around. Thank you.
