^I see your point RG, but disagree on closing the thread. For better or worse, Stephen was a huge part of this site's history. Only thing weirder than talking about him from time to time would be not talking about him from time to time.
For the most part, this thread is just people (many of them who were personally harassed by the man) stating the honest facts of their experiences with the guy. If simply recapping the specifics of Stephen's actions comes across as bullying, that falls squarely on the bully, not the witness.
If there's one thing the #MeToo movement has taught us, it's that staying silent and playing apologist for the aggressor is never the proper response to harassment, particular when it's coming from someone in a position of power. We're certainly talking much different scales, but the guy was an absolute monster. People have legitimately killed themselves over cyber bullying not much different than what Stephen carried out on someone like I-10. He would literally spend what seemed to he his entire day trying to make people look stupid or feel badly about themselves.
There's no room in society for that anymore, and the guy has in no way earned the right to be treated with kids gloves. People treated him that way for years here, and how did that turn out? I'm glad Ennis is posting updates, because Ennis has always been a good dude, and Stephen personally called his character into question. When the courts agreed that Stephen is full of shit, I'd be screaming it from the rooftops.
Pay careful attention to what's happening in society over the last few years. Standing up to bullies and rejoicing in their defeat is the new fad. And it's the best way to deter similar behavior in the future.
Actions have consequences. Don't want to be talked about negatively? Don't aggressively harass people, online and off. Seems simple enough.
