The general manager of ArcLight Cinemas in
Bethesda (second from left) holds the Governor's
Crime Prevention award received by the cineplex
ArcLight Cinemas at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda has won a Governor's Crime Prevention award from Gov. Larry Hogan. The cineplex was recognized for donating auditorium time on the first Wednesday of each month to the Montgomery County Police Department. Officers use the time to host a senior forum where seniors enjoy a free film, along with a presentation on tips to prevent becoming a crime victim.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R)
Police Chief Marcus Jones and other police officials attended the award ceremony, and thanked ArcLight and the other winners. The theater's general manager was on hand to receive the award. Target's Rockville store also received an award from the governor.

WHAT?! This is so weird.....

@ 6:36 AM - Yes, "Hostess Wintermint Ding Dongs Review". First 6 minutes of the 9 minute video. Each minute of video takes about 10 minutes to transcribe, his speech is that awful.

There is no punctuation in the transcript because it is essentially one extremely long run-on sentence.

"Problematic", "parfait" and "cartel" seem to be the only words that are above a 3rd-grade vocabulary.

7:02: Can you explain how you have the time to spend hours transcribing my videos, other than you are a raving lunatic or are being paid by the County Council or a developer to do so?

Hopefully the troll is paid. If not, what an enormous waste of time :)

9:24 AM And the generation of adult bloggers that Robert Dyer has inspired to look and take blurry photos of signs in the food courts, strip malls and town centers of the county? They certainly are not being well compensated for all that work that Robert is making them do. Think about it.

Robert isn’t paid for his blogs and his site is awesome. It’s a civil service he is providing to Montgomery County residents. Not everything is about money.

Anonymous said...

Sure, it's great that he can live off the fat of his trust fund, wandering and loitering around weird corners of our fast-changing County at ungodly hours when all the other residents are sound asleep preparing for another day of work the next morning.

10:18 AM And the legion of local adult bloggers, inspired by Dyer, that wander and loiter in the food courts, strip malls and town centers of the county. Doing it without salary as well! God bless them!

Major CEOs and business leaders are now singing from the same hymnal as Robert Dyer on the county's economic and transportation issues.

And, yes, downtown Bethesda could use a more varied nighttime economy. Not brokering the new movie theater at the Wilson building, for example, was a big miss by planners.

Anonymous said...

Remember: the only arts & entertainment item included in the failed "Downtown Bethesda Plan" is a black box theater, which no one has asked for and is unnecessary given all of the stages that already stand empty around the downtown most nights of the week (Bethesda Theater/Jazz Club, for one).

Time for another walking tour?

You are a complete joke, a paid troll, and a mentally-ill stalker, to boot. It's well established that people who engage in this type of online harassment are mentally ill.

You're facing 2 years in federal prison for each charge - stalking, harassment, cyberbullying, threats. Cease and desist, before you end up in an orange jumpsuit for the next decade.

6:37: This is your looniest whisper campaign since you guys tried to claim I was disabled back in 2012, but blew up your own campaign when your guy accidentally let it slip out before it started.

I'm one of the most-heard public speakers in Bethesda and Montgomery County - the people you are trying to tell that I have a southern backwoods accent are laughing at you right now, moron.

Damn, son, you just got destroyed.

Robert Dyer said...

6:59: And what a mentally-ill person you are saving a whole notepad of your deleted troll comments, and manically refreshing and reposting them every 30 seconds all day and all night. You do realize it's a known fact that people who engage in the online harassment and trolling you do have psychological problems and personal issues they are battling by bullying others?

You've been banned from this site and told not to post here, you hate me and the site, but yet you have devoted your life to me and this site! What is your problem?

6:35: What was I wrong about that you pointed out, big boy - be specific.

No, I do not "talk weird" even in the slightest. I'm one of the top public speakers and debaters in Montgomery County politics. I have a successful YouTube channel with over 13,000 subscribers. None of these thousands of people believes you have adequate testosterone or IQ to exceed your belt size, much less takes seriously anything you post.

Anna said...

6:27AM

Please stop re-victimizing the young woman by LYING about her situation.

This is not something a white, affluent, Gen-X male should be opining on.

You've been asked over and over to stop, yet you still do it. Why? After the young woman's family has begged the media to leave their daughter alone. Why do you still choose to hurt her?

Anna said...

I hate no one. I've said that repeated over the years.

Once again, if my name's not on it, I didn't post it.
I just tell the truth as I see it and apparently, you do not like the truth.

Robert Dyer said...

7:06: LOL - you just slipped up again, and again revealed that you post under different guises on all my websites. You repeatedly posted that exact comment on Rockville Nights as Anonymous, even while claiming you never visited that website.

#Oops

No, the family never made any public comment, much less what you claim. Please stop victimizing them by making things up about them as a way to bully and harass me. Sick!

The question is, why do YOU feel the need to hurt others through harassment and bullying online, even when you are asked first to stop, and then to please leave?

The troll's obsessive bullying comments sound like Eugene Matusevitch who was convicted for online bullying
.
Here's what Eugene wrote:
"So to recap: you're 28 years old, your grossly overweight, you make $40k per year an you drive a Honda Civic, Just kill yourself bro there would be less shame in that than living your sad little life out."

Sounds familiar- same types of insults multiple times of the time, obsessing over family members, etc. Eugene got up 10 years in prison. Trolling is not a good idea folks. Just sayin'

Do you really want to threaten me? Here's the thing...I'm upfront and honest, and you don't like to hear it..
And THIS is what YOU did:


You went to a website that I do not read, with knowledge that I do not read it, and posted false and defamatory comments and called me out by name. You also threatened to feed the IRS false information about me in an effort to ruin my livelihood.

That's all fact. Supported by YOUR OWN WORDS as posted on your blog(s) in your own name. FACT.

The fact circumstances are completely different in Eugene Matusevitch case and I'm not sure it could be cited. But I'm sure the attorneys reading can be more specific.

And the funny thing is, the infraction that set off Matusevitch's series of texts, was an illegal right turn from southbound Woodmont Avenue onto Leland Street, a maneuver which Robert Dyer believes should be legal.

The tone, tenor and frequency of Eugene Matusevitch's harassment is *exactly* like the anonymous guy that posts here. Obsessive, angry, vindictive.

Eugene was mad that an officer pulled him over. The question is what did the troll here believe Dyer did to him? He will never say.

I'd recommend not cyber bullying given that prison time is a possible outcome.

After...

In my "Christmas Countdown" series, I am reviewing limited-edition snacks for the Holiday seasons. Tonight's review is "Hostess Wintermint Ding Dongs". Ding-Dongs are one of my favorite Hostess cakes, even though they've shrunk in recent years. This is a special version with a blue minty cream filling - I'm not sure I like the color blue in food, though - and white fudge frosting with blue specks. The box has a winter scene with a bright star and several snowflakes set against a blue sky, and also there is a promotion for another variety, White Fudge Ding-Dongs...

7:31AM The MoCo cartel is a disgrace. Right now planning on destroying any student's success in public school. Hans will not debate Dyer, because he knows the "D" behind his name will get all the MoCo Leftist automatons. Anyone not beholden to blind worship to a Democrat gets no ability to hear the issues debated, where Dyer would mop the floor with Hans. Hans is a California carpet bagger. Look at the impeachment, all NY and CA congress in the lead of it. The absolute worst states to make federal policy, and now we got one here making local policy.

Robert Dyer said...

7:49: It's the exact comment that appeared repeatedly on Rockville Nights, except you didn't use the name "Anna" there. Once again, you forgot you posted as Anonymous on a different site and tried to use it here.

#Oops

No, the family never commented. Anywhere. You made that up. Imagine using a family's pain, and bringing them into your personal cyberbullying campaign against a local journalist. Despicable.

I notice you dodge the questions about why you engage in this type of harassment and bullying online, and continue after you are asked to stop, and then keep coming back after you were asked to leave.

This is not something a normal person would do, nor a professional person. What's your story, and how did you find yourself with nothing to do in life - literally - than to refresh my website every 30 seconds all day every day?

I can't blame you. It has very little traffic compared to Dyer's Network.

Woodmont said...

Storereporter has a fraction of Dyer's traffic to just one of his blogs. His entire Network dwarfs it. Dyer sets the agenda among local blogs.

According to Alexa, Dyer's traffic is increasing and Storereporter is decreasing. (Hence the pleas for visitors, I assume, and why the Storereporter comments here to get a little bit of free advertising.). Please pay Dyer for an ad if you want one. And stop trying to disrupt his sites by posting inflammatory comments, please. Thank you! At least be nice for the holiday season.

I've posted that type of comment here many times. I've used the same language that appears in some of the pamphlets and counseling aids for rape and abuse victims. You can accuse me all you want, but you'll be wrong every time.

The family has indeed requested that, whether you choose to follow their plea or not.

I'm saddened that you use her plight as a weapon against me, a reader.

Robert Dyer said...

11:31: You're definitely not "who you say." You did, in fact, post that same crazy comment on my Rockville Nights site repeatedly, under a different identity. Exact same language.

How and why you've been able to dedicate your life to harassing and bullying me, and refreshing and trolling my pages every 30 seconds all day long, is what's really "perplexing and kinda sad."

I'm not sure why you are attributing false statements to the family of a crime victim to fuel your own monstrous bullying campaign. They never commented publicly. Ever.

As a man notorious for being unemployed before getting into the MoCo cartel, you're in no position to talk about employment, old sport.

You set yourself up for humiliation with your drunken Riggsby comment. Damn, son, you just got destroyed.

Robert Dyer said...

7:12: All lies and fiction, as usual, from a delusional troll.

I don't "go" to a website I publish - it's my website. You not only read it religiously, but you also posted troll comments there on Rockville Nights relentlessly. You posted the same precise comment down to the last words about the "family" there under a different identity. You then forgot you had done so, and used the comment here on this site, revealing once again that you indeed troll, bully and harass me on all of my websites.

Your fantasy about me giving the IRS information is just that - the reality was that you posed as a tax expert, and then were caught making statements that would jeopardize someone in that line of work.

You are indeed a "big villain," as a monstrous bully threatening, harassing, stalking and cyberbullying me 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What would your colleagues and friends think of the horrific way you are conducting yourself and treating others? Hence why you must hide your identity, as you would be ruined if the deranged statements and behavior you've exhibited here were ever to be associated with your actual identity.

"How a short, middle-aged man posting using a woman's name among other aliases can become unhinged by a male Gen-Xer reporting local news" is indeed the question you must answer.

Cease and desist.

You've been asked to leave countless times. Stop posting here. Your campaign of harassment and bullying is illegal under state and federal laws.

Anna said...

Wow. I'm female. Always have been. You've confused me with someone else posting here because I have NEVER threatened you, never stalked you. I read your blog during the day, only when I'm working at a desktop, so I might post anytime between 5AM-8PM.

I don't post on your other sites. I don't read your other sites.

I post under my name.

This is a public forum. Lock it up if you want to control who posts and what they say.

All this is true.

Robert Dyer said...

8:09: You post way beyond those hours. You've again proven you read and post on my other sites by posting one of your infamous troll comments from the Rockville site on this site, apparently forgetting which site you'd used it on and under which alias.

#Oops

No, I don't have to shut down my comment section just because one person is harassing, stalking and bullying me.

Use what common sense you have to cease and desist your cyberbullying campaign, so you don't wind up in court when your real identity is exposed. It's not too late to get control of yourself.

Robert Dyer said...

8:59: Hiding, bullying and attacking behind a fake name is not "honest."

Robert Dyer said...

9:05: Constantly reposting a long, totally fake and defamatory statement is also not "honest." Stable people don't keep reposting the same troll defamatory comments 1000 times on a website.

Anna said...

From the very first time you went off on me, I have it all. Every defamatory statement you've made. Everything.
And that whole East County blog thing, which drags in my former co-workers.
We're all honest upstanding professional believable people.

Robert Dyer said...

9:16: I have no clue what you're talking about "East County" blog, but now you are admitting you also read my East MoCo website, after claiming you only read this one. You have no defamatory statements because I've never made any. I couldn't make them if I wanted to, because I don't know your identity. You can't defame someone who is Anonymous or using a fake first name. Try to use common sense.

Do your "co-workers" know that you are viciously threatening, cyberbullying and harassing a local journalist online?

Robert Dyer said...

9:47: There are no actual quotes where I'm saying any of the defamatory statements you claim. You keep posting other stuff, because you know you're lying. Thus why you can be sued for defamation.

You've again now spent about four solid hours on my website so far today, refreshing every 30 seconds, reposting harassing defamatory comments as quickly as they are deleted.

This is not the behavior of a stable, sane person. Your co-workers support you doing this? I notice you can't answer that question.

Again, cease and desist. Get out of here. Go away. You've been banned and are facing criminal charges for your cyberbullying campaign.
