If anything, much of the vitriol and threats of blackmail, extortion, outing of H2odysee's identity have led him to stay away from these forums and switch to twitter for updates. He was much more communicative before...
That is simply not true, there was only one person doing all that below-the-belt stuff, and h2o had already been silent for quite a while in this thread.
IIRC, the silence was one the factors fueling that person's vitriol.
But you're right, it is what it is, and no point in getting frustrated about it (anymore

).
