Once upon a time I wrote a post in MC's defense which he quickly honored as "Post Of The Year" and reprinted in full.
Few months later, he delivered one of those insanely paranoid political rants that has no business here (or in any half-serious publication, IMO), which he got removed (mine, not his) almost immediately.
So I soon discovered what veteran members had long known already -- that MC is only and always about himself.
Years later I still wonder whether Kevin Deal's impeccable takedown of Raven vs Prima Luna was what "shamed" (if he can he be shamed) MC out of the forum?
