Commissoner Beware: Dante_Rage_Wolfington-Howling

[lovelesskiax.livejournal.com]

EDIT 2: Though he has been banned from FA on his Dante account, he has come back on a new account claiming to be Dante's room mate:

Additional Edit: Here are screenshots left on an artist's page through this new account. The artist is one that Dante harassed in the past, and they saw through the new account right away. As you can see, the typing and language are very, very like Dante's.

EDIT: Updated with his new FA account, replaced the last screen-shot with a more readable version.

WHO: Dante_Rage_Wolftington-Howling

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/danteragewolfington-howling/ (abandoned)

WHAT: Harassment, threats, and attempts at free art

WHEN: They first commented on my free pantsu icon raffle, on May 17th. He has left his FA account and has promised not to contact me since July 3rd.

PROOF: I will put with the explanation, to hopefully help you follow better.

EXPLAIN: For the past few months, Dante has been annoying me. He was a bit annoying during my pantsu icon raffle, where he kept mentioning that his birthday was soon after the raffle ended.

I personally found his continuous mention of his birthday to be sort of a pressure, even if he didn't intend. I just assume most people wouldn't mention it at all if they didn't want to put pressure on the artist.

May 31st, after the raffle had ended, he noted me. I was completely confused at first at what he was asking for, but after clarification, he was breaking one of the rules of my TOS: I must be paid before work. Here he's trying to order a commission and promising to pay later because right now he doesn't have a paypal:

I don't have screen shots of this because the shout got bumped off my page (I only felt the need to make this article after tonight, so all caps are recent), but in it he asked if he could commission me for a pantsu icon, even though they were journal only. The fact that he was aware of it, and wanted one even though he had no paypal, really stung me bad.

July 19th, after I had answered someone else's question about my future pricing on reference sheets, he comes to the deluxe reference sheet I did for my fursona and commented:

I put him on my blacklist then. He's the first and hopefully the last.

June 22nd, he came to my page and apologized. I accepted, and he then asked what being on the blacklist is (I only have a small portion of this, as shouts got bumped off):

Then, on June 28th, he came back to my page and asked to get off the blacklist again:

I replied "No.", but he wiped his shouts before I could grab it. But at this point I was more than fed up with his whining.

Today, July 3rd, I posted a journal opening up my pantsu icons again. He came in, whining about how he wanted one but he was on the blacklist. Then he tried to get someone to commission me for him, which I did not want:

He sent me a note, and well...Here's the notes (long read):

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm177/Loveless_Neko3/notesalltogether.jpg

After this I was absolutely stunned, and felt making an A_B post was necessary so other's wouldn't have trouble with him as well. But I was unaware of weather I had to have actual, money exchanging business to post him on here (I couldn't really find anything about it on here, sorry if it was somewhere and I didn't realize) so I made a journal on FA asking for advice. Here's how the journal basically went (black boxes used to hide screenames and conversations not relevant to the situation, also screenshot thanks to someone on FA. Journal is also deleted as of now, but I have un-censored screenshot still saved):

And it ended there. He wiped his account, and I'm making this post. I hope people can watch out for him, because this was not the best experience.

I personally don't condone people linking you to this, as it's against the rules of the community. I truly hope you don't get harassed,

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

Well thank you, and honestly you really ARE the only artist I've had problems with, so....I don't think this is really fair, but that's my opinion, but at least remove the link to my current account please?

[lovelesskiax.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but part of the beware are links to the account so people are able to block you if they feel the need. I won't be removing them.

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

Well, Thanks for the now horrible luck than, had a hard f***ing enough time, now I will get nowhere, sorry if this seems RUDE, but you know, it's bulls**t one ONE person, whom is the ONLY person I've had problems with.....f**ks my life up, but what ever, I guess I'll stick to my human things to do, oh wait, my real life f**king sucks too, oh well, guess I'll just be the f**cking f*g who is just a complete f**k up huh? I hate pissing people off, but when you f**k my life up, you get NOTHING from me, matter a fact, you only get me WANTING, not going to, but WANTING to find you and f**k your life the hell up, I am better than you tho, at least in that area, but next time, THINK before you ruin someone's life forever, understand?

[ansitru.livejournal.com]

You've just more than proven why this beware was written in the first place.
Think before you type, hell, make tea before you respond and calm the hell down before you practically reinforce what's in the beware by commenting like ... well: this.

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

Ok, let me out this in simpletons terms, I did apologize, several times, but than it got worse, so yeah I got pissed, but THAT'S the past, my life is ruined because I can not get ANYONE to even request me any more, the cyber world, more specifically FA, is and was my only escape from my shitty life in real life, but, now that that's ruined, I guess I have to just be no one at fucking all, so why don't YOU think before replying, ok jackass?

[ansitru.livejournal.com]

You claim you've changed, yet your comments here are exactly like the ones you left Kia. Instead of seeing this post as a chance to change your behaviour, you come charging in and pretty much confirm the post. Calm down before you reply, seriously.

By the way, this "jackass" and "simpleton" is also an artist who you've now definitely ruined your chances with. Keep it up though, if the post wasn't warning enough already, your comments certainly are.

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

Ok, stfu, now, I WAS speaking calmly, if you would like to see me uncalm, I can become a REAL ass an be annoying, I don't need to change my behavior because ONE person complained about it, no one else I gave critical comments to did this crap, ONLY loveless, so I am not the overreacting one here, I have been nice and tried giving people a chance, a huge frickin chance to leave me alone in my suffering, my ruined life, now, as I said before, leave me alone, PLEASE, for the love of god, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!

[ansitru.livejournal.com]

Expletives (telling me to "fuck off" and "stfu", or calling me a simpleton) do not a calm comment make. And that's the last thing I'm going to say about it, as I'm wasting my breath here.

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

Alright, I am being calm, as, I am not pissed off yet, when I'm pissed off, I shall exalated to caps and MANY cuss and curse words, I am a calmly upset. Yes PLEASE, stop wasting your time with you POINTLESS side of the arguement, I told you what has happened to me, do yeah, you can either be quiet and leave me alone, or you can piss me off and see when I'm NOT calm.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

not pointless, as you;re confirming all the bad stuff that as been posted and mentioned about you.
the more you continue, the more you will dig your own grave reputation-wise.. you will only get more people to be aware of your behavior and just preemptively block you.

[darkunisha.livejournal.com]

Dude, calm down. :c This isn't ruining your life, and rather, should show you what you can do to CHANGE what you're doing. With this attitude, you're only doing more harm than good, and thus proving as to why people would potentially avoid you even further.

After reading how you were in this post though, as well the comments you posted, I will defiantly be avoiding you. I'm pretty sure many artists can agree with this, but no one will stand being talked down to, and be told how much their art is worth.

Your life isn't ruined, you can take this post as an reflection of what you can improve on. Sometimes the truth hurts, and I'll have to agree with the OP in this one, she handled it perfectly, while you on the other hand...could of handled it a lot better.

It isn't too late to work on your behavior/attitude, and if you work on that, then you can work and make great improvements. But at this moment, I think you honestly need to step back, take a moment to breathe and calm down.

[dantewolfington.livejournal.com]

EITHER: read the previous two comment chains, OR, leave me alone NOW, before I become angry. End of convo, last warning people!

[darkunisha.livejournal.com]

You opened yourself to debate by posting here. If you don't want people to tell you things, then you should of remained quiet. It's public, and because of your actions, people responded.

But honestly, echoing someone else. I'm only wasting my breathe here, reading your responses just further concluded my decision. Though, I can say I'm a bit disappointed, but like I said, I'm wasting my breathe. Your loss dude.

[jamesalesto.livejournal.com]

I hope you understand that by making real world threats against the OP like this you can get yourself into a whole new world of trouble. Saying you'll find her and mess her life up? Really? That can get you banned from Livejournal and on FA if you threaten her there, too.

You got yourself into this mess with your behavior, and it isn't her fault if she decides to warn people about it. Stop trying to be abusive and emotionally manipulate her. The only person to blame for your "life being ruined" is yourself. No one's intimidated. At all.
