    No idea if PSJ quit as a Moderator and it makes little difference to be blunt if he had.

     

    He might well of just been involved in the Steve Davis Snooker discussion on Atari Age and then reported what was going on here on RG forum, but it doesn't change the fact he had a very abrupt behaviour change towards Kieren. 

     

    He could of spoken up and said he had closed my account etc, but he made the decision not to do so.

     

     

    He was a mere poster on Retrocanteen forum and again it was his choice to post praise for Kieren and his A to Z guides and say he couldn't wait for more instalments. 

     

    All a far cry from messaging me each time a new issue of RG Magazine landed with an article from Kieren in it and could i tell him what Kieren had gotten wrong, so he could put it up on RG forum. 

     

     

    Something clearly went down and only PSJ can explain why his attitude changed, but like i say, he was far from the only person. 

     

    Many suddenly decided to give Kieren the benefit of the doubt and said what likes of myself and others were doing, issuing warnings about Kieren was disgraceful. 

     

     

    How's them apples now I wonder? 

     

     

    As for Kieren never being fired for the fake RG accounts, right ;-) and Darran was never subjected to some vile abuse on FB by anyone connected to Kieren at the time and yadda yadda yadda..none of it happened, nothing was to be discussed and a lot of FB and forum comments deleted. 

     

    Once all the housecleaning done, a lot of attitudes suddenly changed and it was all team RG and Kieren was their Resident Atari Expert and people were not to hound him etc etc.

     

    It's like something out of Robocop with Clarance spilling his guts about working for Dick Jones and Jones is OCP, OCP own the cops.

     

    Darran like so many  of us, has a boss and that boss has a boss and that company has strict policies and rules you abide by if you wish to carry on working for that company. 

     

    If your told to drop a subject and it is not to be discussed on social media, you drop it and don't discuss it.

     

     

     

    But this is going nowhere and raking up old RG incidents and why we will never hear what really happened isn't helping resolve the very real damage done to Chris, Sarah,Hannah and so,so many others and that's all that matters.

     

    RG took Kieren in, RG has to stand accountable. 

    the more a read about RG and Kieren, it sounds like lawyers got involved.

    Please mate, don't do this. Sell them instead, a much better thing to do. Fortunately Retro Gamer has survived over all these years and we love it (at least I do) despite KH's occasional articles in the magazine over the years. They are certainly collectible and may well earn you a fair amount of cash. Please don't just bin them, that's chavvy :(

    I was thinking of selling them in groups before this sh*t storm, after I took out the damaged and to keep one.

    But now I don't even want to touch them, I used to know of a second-hand computer shop that may have taken them, but I am no-longer local to that shop

    Someone on YT said he thought KH was suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Now I had never actually gone and read the symptoms of NPD before. I

    If you do a lot of things seem to make a lot of sense. It isn't ASD he has, it's NPD.

    Narcissistic personality disorder seams to fit with what I've read about KH

    Quote

    Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

     

    A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.

    Treatment for narcissistic personality disorder centers around talk therapy (psychotherapy).

     

    Symptoms

    Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

    • Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
    • Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
    • Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
    • Exaggerate achievements and talents
    • Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
    • Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
    • Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
    • Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
    • Take advantage of others to get what they want
    • Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
    • Be envious of others and believe others envy them
    • Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
    • Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

    At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

    • Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
    • Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
    • React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
    • Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
    • Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
    • Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
    • Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

    I am sad that this issues has turned the UK retro-gaming community to sh*t.

     

    Reading @RetroPrincess's reply made my heart break for you and your family, we don't need any deaths cause by this a**hole.

     

     

    KH: you could have become an expert in Atari, but if your can't get basic facts right and get called out by Leonard Tramiel and/or Nolan Bushnell , you have real problems.
