> I discovered a most dishonest and hate filled group. I learned that I had been dehumanized for a very long time. My personal details had been given out. Secret deceitful plots had been made to cut me out, and drop a bomb like I am a target to destroy. My family has seen this and after discussion, we are immediately ceasing all related site operations. We are cutting ties to Discord and Twitter social media outlets, and will have no further contact with these individuals. Lines were crossed. I had hoped this community especially would have learned from what happened to Near. This behavior is not OK for handling disagreements, miscommunication, anger, or anything else.
Wow. Strong claims.
> he existed as a single point of failure for the site and exerted iron-fisted control over community-created content, and categorically refused basically all offers of help over the last decade
Strong claims here too.
I don't know what to believe. But I've seen people try to steal others' work by calling the person an "iron-fisted dictator" and "single point of failure" before. I'm not saying that's what was attempted here, but it's not like it's exactly rare.

There are many cases where outsiders infiltrate projects and try to subvert them, either for profit or other nefarious reasons. That is what I expect happened here. >I don't know what to believe. My default is to assume the guy running a free website for years is being honest about trying to find trustworthy help that will carry on the way he wants it. If anyone has a problem with that they can make their own website.
