I've had a nice cup of coffee and I'm a little more relaxed than I was earlier. I'll try to explain some of the machinations without coloring them too much.
All the mods, from both sides of the aisle, agree that the site had a great season. The playoff run, some screenshots on Fox5 in DC, plus TAFKAS's Tony McGee connection brought unparalleled attention to the site. After the season, we had a few chat sessions to plan for the future of the site (I'm having trouble even typing out the name right now).
Suffice it to say, these discussions became heated. There was more than a little interest from outside media parties to align themselves with the site. Because of the tremendous profile such an alliance would bring, it was suggested to us that some content be modified or eliminated. From my perspective, that wasn't acceptable. Decidedly less acceptable was the response I got from Mr. Kyer when I expessed my concerns.
Mr. Kyer has built a great website here, and it's been my home since the yahoo days. I suppose I thought my own involvement was part of that success. Mr. Kyer disagrees, and so I get to find a new home. For everyone who finds my position childish or reactionary, maybe you're right and maybe you're not. I guess we'll all find out after the draft - presuming we aren't banned first.
