I do feel a little sad at it all. I had no illusions about the reality of Rdt, but kind of felt like it summed up human nature, the good, the bad and ugly of it all. What feels a little uncomfortable to me is the current viciousness of it all? I can understand if ppl are unhappy with how things have been handled (mod-wise), but some of the vitriol is just... I don't know. From the whole API drama to, well, I don't think being a mod is easy either. I don't think there is any good answer. I've seen posts spouting about the spirit of Rdt, but you really can't separate the two as if it's not somewhat tainted. I don't know. I'm kind of just rambling at this point, but the feeling is kind of visceral for me.
