Oh man, I wondered what had happened to you on TVtropes, given that you sort of just dropped off the map. It was fun editing the UF page with you, Bob.
I guess I should have put two and two together, but it was hard for us younglings to figure out what was going on over there at first. I eventually did try to make a story on Slashdot called "TV Tropes begins Censorship Binge", but it never made it to the main page.
I've been forced to leave organizations on principled stands before -- both when I was chair of their respective boards of directors, oddly enough (and both 501(c)3 nonprofits) -- and one of them a wiki organization. And it was a similar problem on that wiki too: a lack of community buy-in for changes. So, I know how you're feeling. And I know that you should be just starting to enjoy the more free time by about now.
I did finally decide to start reading Drunkard's Walk, and I found it from following a link on the Fanfic/DrunkardsWalk from this week. And I'm enjoying it quite a bit. So it's not all bad.
