As someone who was bullied in my youth I refused to have that happen to me as an adult too. What we sometimes forget is that behind the accounts, there's real people and it's important to remember BULLYING IS NOT RIGHT, that goes both ways 2/

Rob is a real person and I'm sure he's also suffered a lot during this whole ordeal and I think it's time to END THIS You might not like his work but I think respect is something that should be offered regardless of your personal opinions on the person in front of you 3/

I've taken down the T-shirts from my store, if you have one consider it a cool piece of Hobby Twitter history and a rare example of my spite Thanks for everyone that has helped me, or offered their support during this time, I hope I can sleep tonight at last. 4/

Let's leave the hate behind and move on as a community. And Rob, as a personal note, if you ever want to write a well researched, unbiased article about content creators and conflict of interests, I would be glad to take part. Un Saludo, Juan Hidalgo

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits That's great that they finally said sorry.

@idioticsynergy @spikeybits I agree

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits If he says the hate has to end, why is his original article with all the hate still on the site?

@ExpiredMinotaur @spikeybits I personally don't mind that as long as the apology is there as well as a piece of journalistic history so to speak detailing the whole incident

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits Sorry but no. Rob is a hobby community abuser who has demonstratively acted in bad faith for over a decade. This is not a one off oops that falls out of bounds with past behavior but matches up very precisely with everything he has done. I will not let an abuser back in.

@bberman_bates @spikeybits That's your choice, I personally want to move on

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits His whole ass article was an attack piece 🤣

@lesliech0w @spikeybits It was, but I will take the W either way I've never seen him apologize for anything before

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits Whilst I respect your attempt to cut down on the nastiness, he’s done this before and he’ll do it again. The apology is performative, being tolerant is just enabling. Hopefully this changes nothing for people who have boycotted him and he stays boycotted regardless of apology!

@justplay_ian @spikeybits My position as a person with influence in the community comes with responsibilities too. I need to represent the best of the community can offer

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits im glad he apologized but im done with this guy and his clickbait website.

@kanzler89 @spikeybits Voting with your time is a perfect valid and adult response.

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits Mate I am glad you are happy with this But I think this whole affair has been the final straw for a lot of people Rob has stolen work, he has scammed people, bullied and harassed folk for years You are the bigger man, but I think we need to PNG this man from our communities

@BigGeordieGeek @spikeybits I get it, I personally hate that all of this happened because something involving me. I don't wish bad to anyone, not Rob not anybody else

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits It’s about time he apologised for it. Sadly this is just one in a catalog of such things they have done so his turn around to point the finger at comments which being fair where by large not insulting just questioning what they posted is a really cheap move while apologising

@JhMiniatures @spikeybits You’re a bigger person than me. That reads a whole lot like a fucked around and found out apology without actually being sorry.
