Don't rush to judgement.
The Y is fine and believe me, people have had meltdowns and quite a few drunken deletions on the X.
At this point someone's trying really hard to look loyal and failing miserably. Admitting the truth weeks ago could have saved a lot of pain, agony and embarrassment. Once Ron makes a mod correction the Y will be restored to its former glory.
Ron probably won't do anything about the V. He meets a lot of the people at shows and has some schmoe in him as well. Most people would step down when a forum's posters have spoken so loudly on multiple occasions. That being said, a lot of people really couldn't compete in a no holds barred forum without having moderator powers.
