Y'know this started out as a PM to Rose but I decided I would throw my 2? in over at Sphere. I may get banned for it but I haven't cared for years. I generally don't care enough to post anything there anymore anyway. Since it may very well get deleted I thought I would just repost it here as well.
Here is a pm I sent to Rose (on a different forum that the 2 of us frequent) but as I wrote it I decided I might as well share. It's also why I infrequently read and even less frequently post here anymore.

Just been reading the latest at Sphere (I only check every so often).
Sorry to see you got railroaded.
It doesn't surprise me though after what they did to Trunks and others the last powerstruggle (or at least the last one I was around for, was when the source was stolen).
Westy went and showed his true colors there. When he came on to say basicly (not his exact words)that the users are scum and they should suck his cock just for being allowed to use Sphere.
And Damian....ahhh Damian....Mr I'll take legal action if you piss me off.
Their product that they have such big dreams for.
Their product that regardless of whether or not they have still written every scrap of code for while it may not technically and in the legal sense of the term be reverse-engineered off UO; it certainly is in spirit.
An original program with the goal to copy someone elses original program and content and run it as perfectly as possible. To run it better in fact. They get very mad at someone sucking off their tit. Meanwhile they are still sucking off EA's tit.
Ahhh well....what can ya do.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rose.
I saw this coming when I read about the 55 improvement project. The first thing that went through my head was more division in the community. Much as I despise Damian and Westy (I still wonder if Menace really exists or he is just Exodus and Westy and Damian are Mondain and Minax) it looks like they started out trying to "do the right thing" and appease all the people with the "you can have my 55i when you can pry it from my cold dead hard drive" bumper stickers and it bit them on the ass. Why did it bite them on the ass? Their enormously overbearing egos as usual. So once again Sphere, I applaud you. You'll drive the nails right in your own coffin yet.
