Very strongly agree with Mr McCreesh (spelling?). While I respect his |
| 33 |
technical abilities and contributions, I believe his horrible attitude, |
| 34 |
clear trolling and ability to pit devs against each other, seemingly for |
| 35 |
fun, is far more harmful. That he wasn't gotten rid of early on is |
| 36 |
actually the biggest sign of problems in my eyes. That he has fans and |
| 37 |
followers is another. |
