I didn't post here (I don't even know if this place existed back then) but I posted on CycloneReport when DMac was let go and it seemed pretty reasonable. That was a different time than what we live in now, though, where people don't hesitate to spit their vile and spew their vitriol everywhere with no regards to anything.
Yeah, it's like it's a contest to see who can over react the worst. The ability to keep one's head about them in the face of adversity is an under-appreciated trait. Ironically, the fans are exhibiting the same behaviour as what they're complaining about.
