Well that's that then. Solution?
As we are is.
Richy doesn't seem fussed about it one way or another. If he did he wouldn't be posting a new layout, because he'd be pissed off.
The admin here are happy he's a member, DIF, DAD'S and The Mecca, don't want him around.
Nothing has changed in that respect.
Richy has shown he still intends to be part of FME with layout releases and his posts. So members either remain civil and interact with Richy here or they make their point and move on or ignore him.
