Locked up the Patreon for a bit

Hello patrons!!!! I have some sad news that for the time being I'm locking all posts to patrons only until a certain person stops spamming the Patreon page.

If you haven't heard of the infamous Eric Clinedinst then you will now.

Long ago he began a tirade against Prusa and Josef for all the issues he magically had for the MK3. It was pretty brutal as he rallied many members to his cause based on a lot of lies and pure anger. At one point he threatened to cause physical harm to Josef and even myself for defending Prusa or what he really got mad about which was not attacking Prusa and focusing more on how to better them. And by physical harm he actually messaged me to tell me he hopes to see me at Detroit Maker Faire to stab me. Josef was afraid that he was thinking of not going.

He's been banned from multiple facebook groups including the Prusa Community page for harassing users and generally causing issues. His fake accounts continue the issues he has and does cause quite the disturbance. If you recall an issue with a user by the name of Jen Da who had 5 bondtech extruders and how they were all bad that was actually a fake account of Eric's that he used to spread more misinformation. What's funny is that's his wife's name and he made a fake account using her name.

In the last year we've probably banned a dozen or so accounts that were all his that he used to spread a lot fake issues with everyone to discredit many community accomplishments.

Today he decided to spam the open Patreon posts I have with links to sex acts featuring Josef and Myself that he took his time to design. He's messaged it to numerous people including EVERY mod and admin of our group and even some famous youtubers. So for now I have to lock up the Partreon from not Patrons for the time being which at best is a very minor inconvenience.

He's even sexually harassed out female mods and well I guess making sex toys featuring me would also be considered sexual harassment. 

I've already contacted my good friend who is a lawyer and is drafting a lot of good stuff to send him. Sadly it's come to the point where he's in need of a lot of personal help and I need to actually take action. For over a full year it's been like this but it's gotten really bad now and the slap on the wrists he's gotten just aren't effective. 

I apologize you've all had to be dragged in to this and wish social media could be simpler and humans who do such things would just be disallowed access to a computer for life but the guy needs help and I feel you should all be informed if you start seeing more and more spam. 

Thank you all for listening and feel free to ignore the man and his personal issues against the community.
