For followers of the inside play, the comments by Gerard and Raul about Bishonen back in 2005 indicate the rift that ultimately exploded again this year - when Bishonen banned FT2, and eventually saw him having to resign, humiliated.
It was all to get back at David Gerard, and was another act in these tedious Giano wars.
People who supported Bishonen, thinking that the anti-FT2 stuff was a noble act of justice-fighting, were completely duped.
There's a lot of it about at the moment.
Lately, people were duped to attack FT2 who had become the mark, using Peter Damian's complaints as their cover. Gameplayers like Bishonen, Giano and SlimVirgin were all at it, and too many people - including Reviewers here - fell for it.
It is still going on now with the attacks on Lar, another mark who challenged the "wrong people" last year. Basically, we're watching a long drawn out Revenge Drama, orchestrated by the same old manipulators as always.
Trying to get an understanding the history of the personality stuff behind the Giano wars is probably as pointless and boring as trying to unravel the
History of Schleswig Holstein, of which one will recall Lord Palmerston said only three people understood: one was the Prince Concert, who was dead, the other was insane, and the third was himself, who'd forgotten about it entirely.
Well, I'm perhaps one of the three who recalls the beginning of this soap opera, which includes such episodes as the "fall of Kelly Martin" and the beginnings of arbcom's long fall to uselessness. I'm just not sure who the other two are, and I'm not sure if I'm the one who is dead, insane, or amnesiac. Giano recalls
some of it. Now, perhaps someone should interview all the main players and write an heroic epic. Irrelevant, perhaps, but it would serve as a reminder as to just how petty inteligent people can be. Homer and [[Gilgamesh]] move over.
