I would assume that most people are over what he did and the RS article. I just find it odd to try and revive the whole topic and attempt to vilify Randy for not further publicly addressing an issue that happened like eight years ago.
We did not revive the topic. Someone posted about how "Lucky made a name for himself," and people disagreed. The subject died.
A week later, Randy revived it with a drive-by post that, at best, was disingenous. That post brought out fawning over Randy the Great. People are responding to Randy's revival of the topic that was snarky and dishonest. No one was looking to vilify Randy. Randy's post was the nasty one.
Certainly, the point isn't to call out Randy for what he did/didn't do 8 years ago...they are responding to his current lecture.
There's a difference between "dwelling" and "correcting misleading/false statements by Randy Petersen, who profits off of OMAAT, yet some people treat as some neutral moral arbiter from the heavens."
