The thread is a clusterfuck. It's a bad combination of merged topics and multiple deleted posts. I did notice my post warning DA in 2008 to change his ways or end up a statistic on the earlier pages..
Yes it's shitty now and really wasn't that great to begin with.
SF delivered many verbal massacres and owned substantial tracts of mental real estate but I don't remember him ever "taking it off the boards". DA and whoever else was involved crossed the line imo.
This place is supposed to be for fun, when you start going after people's real lives off the boards you have mental issues.
