Long Story short, Conner somehow got Steve's cell phone and left a less then desirable message on Steve outgoing voice mail. Why I do not know, but I do know it cost Steve dearly in terms of cleaning up the mess.
Connors parents were contacted and they pretty much did nothing.
If any of this is incorrect Conner please feel free to set me straight, otherwise take a hike.

I was curious if Connor showed up at any of the recent cons but did not want to dredge up the same old garbage. I don't understand why anyone is hell bent on giving this kid so many chances. Is it me or does anyone else see this as enabler behavior. No big surprise that his parents did nothing either.
I feel bad for Steve because it most likely cost him as he quite possibly uses the phone for business as well.

Man, that is sad.
Steve told a bunch of us the story.
I know, I was waiting on everyone else to share with the class but you didn't
I think we all want to cut Conner a few breaks because we want young people in our hobby but it ain't working.
How many chances do you get? This hobby doesn't need "young people" like Conner.
Why is CAPfreak even still here? He lied about his age to get on here. Does the fact that he's now old enough to be here some how give him a Golden ticket to stay here?!? He should be banned as though he were a shill, IMHO.
That sends a message to others who are not old enough (substitute too imature to know what damage their actions do) to just "Come on down boys, the water is fine!"

Wow, that is unbelievable
Hey Conner:
Straight and to the point.
They say one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch. Well, here's saying we'd be much better off if that arrogant little *spoon* would just disappear for good.
Hey Connor, I'm still waiting on that strike.
