Over on the 'Official News' bb EvilDragon's update on the future of the project seems to have rapidly degraded into a discussion about what role the community feels Craig should have in OPT.
I am suprised how some people who may or may not have made a ~$500 purchase feel qualified to make a detailed analysis of the business character of a man they've never met, based largely on the volume of e-mails his offices send out every week and some supposedly illusive forum behavior. Said man's assets and flaws may make for an interesting discussion, but they're responsible for the Pandora's existance and it isn't for us to decide whether we want his continued involvement. To those few passing judgement; please consider that perhaps your easy Internet opinions have a higher chance of being unjustly damaging than accurate. Also, weighing up Craig against ED, as if the two are vying for our collective appreciation, do more to disengage me than any ill-tempered response from Craig.
For the record, Craig's involvement, and his Internet-facing persona of eccentric, trucculent entrepreneur, was a key selling point for me personally.

EDIT: It has been suggested this be moved to the original thread. Is this possible mods? Thanks
