EDIT: Took me awhile to write this, so I missed the last few posts... apologies for overlooking those comments.

Yeah, I regret that too. I wish I had known how you really felt a long time ago. (I'm being serious; please do not read a sarcastic tone into that comment.)
And JJ, I can only speak for myself, but I honestly don't think anyone is "rallying around" anyone here. I know I've said my piece(s) about C:A, but I don't think I've sought or gained "allies" out of the whole thing, nor have I leapt to anyone's defense. I've no doubt gained some enemies... but hey, I pick up a few of those every time I post in TFP, woo-hoo (I actually miss one of them: Ustwo, where are you?).
Spectre, has anyone suggested that there were innocent victims? If so, please correct me. In my mind, everyone involved smelled like shit. Feel free to toss me in that pile of mud too, just for fun. I'm up for the wrestling, as long as it's all above-board, here on TFP. But I will not patronize that site.
My intention was basically to assess what was going on in the new forum, and to clearly state why I thought it was a bad idea. An idea, yes. Creative, yes. And it had tremendous potential. But it was poorly thought-out and poorly executed. I sincerely hope it grows into something better, for Hal's sake... but I'm not going to put my energy into "forum-building," other than by giving my honest criticism here.
