SO. My last and final thoughts on the "debacle"
10 years ago
And then I'm going to shut up about it.
I think that the one single fact that can be taken from this is that Dragoneer was never cut out to be site owner. Plain and simple. Nearly every decision he has made, from giving admin and coder spots to personal friends with bad reputations, to hiring a coder with a history of burning bridges, to removing the most competent staff because they became involved with another site, and to wracking up a 10k tax bill, has been indicative of a chronic lack of foresight.
The one good thing he could've done good for FA was sell the site, and he couldn't even do that right. I'm not even really surprised anymore. Just extremely underwhelmed.
And now for something hilarious: https://twitter.com/FurAffinityPR/s.....64578794520577

FA+

Five bucks says he "RESIGNS" within 6 months.
He'll graciously step down and make a heartfelt goodbye.
Completely ignoring and contradicting his every action.
He'll site stress and not being able to "give the site the leader it deserves".
And he'll completely ignore any of the major controversies that got mentioned.
And he'll act like it's the most altruistic goddamned thing he could've done.
