No...
If I was collaborating with my fellow mods,
How do you know what went on behind the scenes?
I don't.
I don't know the backstory
What I do know is hearsay from a pm, which I trust, that outlines pm's took between him and Wild regarding the issue.
Assuming he(GFL) said things in the heat of the moment, I added in my OP the following...
One thing however you can't do is disrespect the platform creators/owners, IE; bite the hand that feeds you.
The reason I say this, is that members sometimes feel a sense of entitlement for being good members and contributors.
I've seen this happen to several owners of sites over two decades.
I don't know that this is the case here, but between reading a pm, a locked thread, history between GFL and I as well as others, I thought it conceivable, which is why I addressed why taking a break is often a good thing.
I liken it to trying to solve a complex emotional issue while sleep-deprived.
GFL once even told me he was giving me a zero for a Monster's event, for what I knew was a misunderstaning.
So I see his tendency to misunderstand and get a bit 'big-headed', but consider him an overall asset none-the-less.
But again, I don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
I do know what I see above ground, which is why I and others believe there's a spirit that's been created by a small few that may have been given a bit too much fuel.
And that's just our opinion.
