Steve, I don't understand
why you went about destroying your own forum the way you did. I don't understand
why you just couldn't have talked to the "traitors"

about all of it. Or
why you set a terrible precedent by banning people without warning or explanation. I don't have all the facts anyway. It seems to me if you really wanted to close down these forums you could have just said so.
A simple "this is taking too much energy for me and I want to free up my energies for new endeavours" would have sufficed. As it is, the
way you've handled things seems quite contrary to the spirit I thought you were trying to instill in this place.
I expressed interest in your upcoming CGW before. Now I
know I will not be attending. You're burning bridges and I can't see any rhyme or reason to it.
