I hope you're all correct. So you think that someone has a right to threaten someone's 5 year old daughter, wish death upon people, tell people to kill themselves, make homophobic, misogynistic, and racist comments... All with no consequences whatsoever? Blocking and moving on doesn't solve anything, and shows we're complacent with personal attacks occurring for no good reason. I don't know about you, but I'd rather see some justice, even if that justice is just a small dip in sales for a week. This man is an adult. Only children live without any serious real-life consequences. This behavior doesn't cut it in the real world.
Yes. Don't trouble yourself, kid miracleman, if this ain't for you. And you're right, he's far up his own ass. But don't tell people who have been attacked in this way- by a business owner who seeks to make a living off of the dollars of people with exactly your tastes and interests- not to take action.
Sorry if I sounded angry... I guess I am, but only at George. I don't like seeing a bunch of fellow collectors whom I both respect and have had nice exchanges with on SB/IG get attacked for no good reason. I also detest anyone who threatens a kid, a completely innocent party to all of this.
Oh, wow They even got the logo font right! (Slight derail, but can wraparound text like that be done with just about any image editing program nowadays?)
I was just googling Georgie Porgie, out of mild curiosity and came across this from 2014. I highlighted the relevant bit in yellow . . . . i'd say he very much IS riddled with hate, wouldn't you? http://hyperallergic.com/170111/brooklyn-store-under-fire-for-native-american-headdress-logo/
I love how when someone tried to engage him and get answers, he just hangs up and not man up. So he wrote an explanation but when questioned, he didn't want to talk. LAME. Also looks like he was deleting their remarks on social media too. Same MO.
I like that he admits to using the German WWII skull for the logo and tries to justify why it's ok. There is no "juxtaposition" going on with the logo.

I am moving forward with this I don't feel uncomfortable or bad about it in any way. I hope everyone reposts this.
The emblem is already top post for #scumbagsandsuperstars @toothaction that whole thread is glorious.
Hiding evidence of douchebaggery isn't new. I've had flippers DM me MINUTES after lotto winners are announced and then unsend their messages just in case I was going to screen cap and send it to the artist.
BoingBoing ran a very positive write-up on S&S in 2014 (just after contributor Cory Doctorow had visited their booth at NYCC). BoingBoing's readership is huge, and I am sure the coverage gained S&S a lot of followers. Cory caught wind of the instagram harassment- the article's been scrubbed from the site. Traction.
Not sure I would describe removal of an old article by the author himself as censorship, D... it was a decision on Cory's part.
