You are very brave. I know how hard it has been for you. I am here to support you.

A number of LARPs and conventions have already banned Dustin or are currently addressing the issue, and I may or may not be able to give you details depending on the group and what I know. I encourage you to bring this to the attention of any organization Dustin may be a part of -- there are a lot!

So here I am sharing my story at 4AM, and hoping that it helps in some way.

It will help. It has already helped. Your bravery will protect others.
