3. It sounds as if Badjoe wanted to run the Forum, and when JimRob wouldn't let him, he decided to take what few marbles he had in the game and go home. When everyone else kept playing without him, he got really mad, and went back to spit in the ring where everyone else was playing.

That's almost exactly my impression as well.

Some people never manage to accept the fact that a) they're not in charge, b) the people who are in charge are going to do it differently than they would, and c) that doesn't make the people who are in charge evil/cruel/dishonrable/insane/stupid/powerhungry.

BadJoe seems to be suffering from a bad case of "how dare all of you not do it *my* way"...

Different people will have different priorities, concerns, and ideas, Joe. Learn to deal with it.

Yep. And I think it's really driving him crazy that the forum didn't just fold or dry up when he left.
