After reading your links to the Badjoe posts about the conflict, I am amazed that he had that much power behind the scenes. It's as Joe considered himself a part owner of FR! I was barely acquainted with Badjoe and he seemed an alright guy. I was amazed that he felt so empowered that he was trying to conform FR to suit his opinions. He must have been pretty valuable because Jim was obliging him by entering into agreements with Joe that affected administrative policy at the site.

I am glad that was only tolerated to a point. As an observer, I am amazed that he felt that he was in a position to dictate the rules. "Dude, know your place!!!". Now he is mad because he can't tell Jim how to run his own site, and is resorting to blackmail (by threatening to ID mods)? Is that what this is about? I hope I am wrong...

I guess this won't be over until Joe accepts that this is Jim's site. Put it to rest, Joe :)

You initial impression was quite accurate. BTW, this isn't about BadJoe, this is about fundraising.
