Actually I remember that 'freedom' episode fairly clearly lol.
Started mostly right after the split, and there was some nasty posting going around. Yes mods here got overzealous. Our position on it was we never wanted a huge flame war to happen from the split. The DHZ encouraged it, hence the 'Light the fires' type topics, because it strengthened their position, one of rebellion/breaking away. Our standing on the situation carried on to whenever it seemed people were trying to incite anything.
I would also point out me and several others from this site were flat out locked out from the DHZ site for some reason. And I remember others who were just assaulted so much they left. I had to log on with different comps to see what was even happening. So I guess I take the 'freedom' comments in stride.
So I would point to poor actions on both sides, it just depends from whose point of view you are looking. And I would hope people would see this.
But really, this is a whole new crop of people and the past is forgotten except in passed on rumors. Sure, you have people crawling out of the woodwork like me, but in the end they are just ghosts.
It was really inevitable that both sites would eventually combine. Honestly I always pictured it happening the other way around. I guess it was the main reason I picked up Soni and had him run the site way back when, he really was quite good about it.
