Come on...this is a pretty radical statement.
Wizard is a bit of a polarizing person. His position in the AP community is unique because he runs a forum and has such influence and power over that forum and ultimately the community. In my opinion, Mike abused that power, by over moderating. A forum as part of a community such as the AP community has to be about members voicing their opinions, without forum administrators taking sides, with the exception of severe personal attacks.
The only thing I can compare it to is Wong's BJ21 and boy did they govern differently. Wong allowed AP members to have their say, to voice their opinion. You can probably count the members that were banned on one hand. Wizard has a list of banned members as long as the list of current members. Something wrong with that. To me it clearly demonstrates, Mike is unfit for that kind of situation, power and responsibility.
But any way the result are going to be just what they are. He is a polarizing figure. Many are big fans, even idolizing him. Many, feel they were not treated fairly by him and dislike him. I happen to admire him but still feel I was treated badly. But come on, those that defend him don't have a financial interest to do so. Where does that come from?
