Sadly, this situation still has legs and may run for months to come.
I foolishly clicked on the URL too and was gobsmacked. It's amazing what depths some people will go to at times.

Dear Scott, Please don't take this too much to heart. You have shown Eugene such kindness. I don't know his situation, but one thing is blantantly clear. He is a sadistic individual who victimizes others. It is apparent in his taking the questions about valuable posters as being victimized then victimizing the victims (those who questioned him). Unfortunately this is typical for this type of personality.
I hope people get their posters back and that he stays away from all of us. I don't wish him bad at all. Just away. Toochis

MoPo'ers:
I'm unbelievably disappointed...
I met Eugene Hughes once at Cinevent in Columbus and found him a friendly, likeable guy. I've reviewed his past posts to the group (he was a member of MoPo for 4 years) and found nothing that would lead me to believe him capable of such a disturbing display of cyber-anger that now appears on his web site.
I posted yesterday that I hadn't heard from Eugene. When I checked my e-mail at home last night I found a reply from Mr. Hughes. While it didn't offer any explanations concerning his recent personal problems or an apology about his nasty exit from MoPo in August, it was a non-threatening e-mail, pointing out that he had been a productive member of MoPo for those 4 years. After reading this e-mail, I considered approving his subscription request thus restoring his posting privileges.
Then today I see that my name has been added to Hughes' "revised" toxic web site, simply because I publicly stated I could understand Donnie's anger at being attacked. Truth be told, I would offer the same statement of support for any & all so attacked on a ranting web page.
Why Eugene would feel the need to do this is beyond me. This vile action on his part is simply ridiculous and totally uncalled for. I have never had any cross words with him and have never attacked him in any way, yet he has determined that I am now the enemy for simply wanting to understand what the hell is going on with him. I'm deeply saddened that he would treat me (and all the others mentioned on his site) with such disrespect.
Needless to say, his bridges have been burned and I will not welcome him back to MoPo.
I am absolutely shocked and disturbed by this whole ridiculous affair. We've had problems on MoPo before, but nothing as bizarre as this incident.
What did I do to deserve this?
