The following is my personal opinion and I want to say that I always make an effort put my best foot forward to show respect regardless of my personal feelings:
Quite sad and very unprofessional.I see both sides also.Kai(MOD) was the wrong person to be the mod and has no business being the judge and jury in a public forum.He really left a negitive overall impression the way he handles adversity.I can understand how hard it is for him as I have walked a similar tight rope for the majority of my professional career.KAI could of shut it down and bowed out graciously and left on a positive note.I never Judge an entity by one persons actions and think they have a plan to open there own forum where they will have total control on censorship. This is a path of no return for the marketing people and will polarize openess on a public forum.Quite sad if you ask me as the quality of Kai products speak for them self.
I don't think it was the video that was the tilting point.KAI started to impose his damage controll methods((moderation) outside of the Kai sub-forum in the general discussion and enforce his company's sub-forum rules in an area of the forum not under KAI Moderation jurisdiction.This sparked off some long term paying members on this board to take it to the carpet.Kai decided to pull the plug and run for the hills.I think it could have and should have been handled on a more professional and positive way.This is of course all speculation on my behalf and I am entitled to my own personal opinion.
Peace,
