I've reached peace with the mods over at MM, I'm still not happy with the place, but bad blood has been cleared. I asked them to remove me as a gatekeeper, too, as I haven't been doing any gatekeeping and don't feel so very charitable towards contributing there at the moment. Unfortunately that means I lost access to the closed door forums, so I can't see what's being said about this whole thing between the powers that be, but I can tell you that they do understand to an extent why I was so upset.

"C'est la vie" seems to be my catch phrase for the last day or two.

Whatevs, it's done. I'm tired of my headache over it.
