Oh, and what's new everyone? 

He cannot confront his own issues.  I mean you are looking at a lot of unresolved trauma that stems into adulthood.  He grasps this need to prove his own worth and value among peers and probably family that are dismissive of him either directly or indirectly.  I believe this is what pushes him to grasp at almost anything that will cause him to stand out.  It's a need to feel important.  Someone shared a post he made that basically amounts to how he was teased as a child, "but who is laughing now?"  He needs to feel important because at his core, his insecurities are his constant undoing.  There is the belief that many addicts gravitate toward drugs due in part to their massive insecurities.  Conspiracy theories and the need to stand out are his drug.  It stems from his insecurity of never being good enough. 

What do you think? 

I have come to the exact same conclusions.

In case CGC Forum member with the user name, Chip Cataldo decides to come here.  He keeps claiming certain things about his character. 

So in case he sees it here.

Dear Chip,

It was VERY easy to dig up your misdeeds as I am the one who did it. There were angry mobs of people on almost every forum ranging from focuses on Tropical Fish, to Mego, to Star Wars, to Warhammer, to comics. You have screwed people over in almost every hobby and collecting group over the course of thirty years.

I did not have to search like "mad." I did a google search for your name and read the rage posts. I created accounts and posts like the one I made on Rebelscum asking if anyone had any stories they wanted to share, and people came out of the woodwork. Even after you were voted into the Hall of Shame people were emailing me stories and sending me links on how you screwed people over dating as far back as 1995 to when you were nominated and voted into the Hall of Shame a few years ago. Why did I go looking? I vet anyone asking for money that I am about to contribute toward to see if their story is for real.

Want an example? 1995? But that is almost THIRTY years ago. Okayyyy... here. groups.google.com/search?q=chip+cataldo&inOrg=false

In the above link there are posts archived where you did the same thing then that you are doing now. You claim that you are making amends. That you realize the error of your ways. That you are a new man. You are not a new man. You are the alcoholic that has convinced himself that one beer is okay. You have a systemic history of ingratiating yourselves towards others over a course of thirty years until you fall of the wagon and screw someone else over again. Thirty years of history does not lie. Thirty years of history show that these are not one off events but a routine and I believe you are at that routine again.

I just tried looking for positive mentions of your name. THAT is something I am having to search like, "mad" for. I cannot find anything about the upstanding citizen you claim yourself to be now the accolades for the penance you have made reforming you into the pinnacle of what online businesses should aspire toward.

So stop propping yourself up on a pedestal. You are a con artist. When you say you are reformed, that too is probably part of the con. You are merely currently not playing a mark. @comix4fun has a good take on it. Others do as well. However, we have MANY new members that do not know you. Even after you were voted into the Hall of Shame members came forward to share that you were trying to conduct business strictly through PMs to hide in the shadows after telling everyone that you would adhere to the forums' wishes and not do business here anymore. You are a habitual liar and that is all you have demonstrated yourself to be with your actions.

As someone who has been mercilessly attacked on this forum 100s if not 1000s of times

Please expand on this.  I find this fascinating.
