I don't know how you could type any of that with a straight face.
Dan did what he has done for the last 2 decades; act like an agitator troll and run his damn mouth. People on other forums who had no interactions with him knew his reputation. What you call bullying was him getting 20 years of everything he brought on himself. I highly doubt he'll find another place to call home as he's been permanently kicked out of every other gear forum on the internet. Rig-Talk was the last place that allowed him to come through the door.
I'm pretty sure Rig-Talk will survive just fine without him; and be a little more peaceful too. In fact, if you had any reservations about leaving you can rest assured Rig-Talk would be just fine without you as well.
