interesting note you wrote there big guy. You know I highly respect you and your viewpoint. But your post leaves the following question unanswered.
Define long time poster...3 years, 5 years, 7 years?
Seriously, and I know you know this, but its the right of the skipper of the ship to define the course. And when the folks down below the bridge are defining the journey instead of the other way around, the boss gotta turn to the XO and tell the crew to straighten up.
This was a case of someone with an agenda pushing all the wrong buttons on someone elses forum. Love RG or hate him, its his show. You want to knock him, don't use his bandwith, even if you are a paying member. The people you are talking about were using every step they could to provoke a showdown. Good for them.
What did they accomplish?
Everyone who has met them says they are the nicest folks in the world. I think he really developed as a decent shooter in a short period of time.
But all of his up and down stuff revealed a serious character flaw that you would never have allowed to continue in your years in command. All that I think is that we owe RG, whether we love or hate the guy, the decency of respect for the fact that he thought up the concept of GG, he keeps it alive and is marketing the crap out of himself. And I am upfront to admit that I don't agree with the guy on everything, but thats cool. It's his boat.
