A decent amount of people bashing were the same few claiming he was the glue that tied the Dojo together. Plain and simple, he messed up and perhaps he was that glue during another era, but not this one. Needless to say, one mistake doesn't totally change how I feel about a person. If he were to post as a regular user, I doubt anyone would truly oppose it, at least not now while on level ground. At the very least I give my props in saying that he knew he wasn't mod material anymore, so left on his own accord. Obviously the rest was inevitable, but the fact that he did it himself, I have a level of respect for that (outside of de-modding someone else). I still like Blue and always will, in fact it'll be easier to have a friendship without the stresses of him having to staff it up here.
I wouldn't say I'm bashing him,very far from it actually.He just did a lot of questionable things that I didn't agree with.Nothing more nothing less.
Now that I think of it,I don't think I've ever had a personal problem with anyone here.I've always been a mixture of a lurker and poster.I joined the shenmue community when I was a young teen so I've seen my fair share of events,but in the end I've just never been bothered by anyone here.I love this place and the people here.
