I was there throughout that whole sordid thread - lost a lot of sleep over it by doing so.
While I would agree that Anton did post a lot of accusations and threw his fair share of mud, to say that 'Nobody worked over Anton except for Anton himself' does paint a slightly one sided picture. And it places the whole emphasis of the circumstances surrounding his leaving the Poser community on one forum thread, which as others have suggested ignores issues that were going on in the background.
How does the saying go? - 'It takes two to tango'. Well, my recollection of those few days is that there were an awful lot of people 'tango'ing' with Anton in that thread, including a lot of comments that were equally in violation of the TOS of this site. I was getting a strong sense of personal histories coming through in the various posts as well, which complicates the perception of what was really being said.
I was personally dismayed at the sluggish response of the mods in this case.
I can't say I wholly agreed with the way Anton went about presenting himself, but I also felt disappointed by some of the responses of other members here, and for me this forum and site (as a place I feel entirely happy to participate in) was tainted as a result.
Just my perception.
