Jon Del Arroz’s History of Trolling and Harassing

[jimhines]

Author Jon Del Arroz recently had his attending membership to WorldCon revoked. This has generated a lot of discussion.

Del Arroz’s defenders claim he’s a nice guy, and accusations that he harasses or trolls people are absurd. Del Arroz told me on Facebook that he doesn’t “escalate feuds.” He claims he’s just the victim of blackballing, harassment, threats, and so on.

But if you look through Jon Del Arroz’s interactions with others… Well, there’s a pattern of him harassing, insulting, and trolling others, and distorting things for publicity and what someone once described as martyrbatiuon.

My goal isn’t to trash Del Arroz, but to document that pattern of behavior.

Because I expect this to blow up on me, I'm not mirroring the full post to LJ and DW and elsewhere. The post and discussion are on my main blog at http://www.jimchines.com/2018/01/jon-del-arroz/. Comments here are closed.
