I see he mentioned some new Pale Moon related drama. Was there something new that happened recently?

I'm unaware of any drama and would like to keep it that way. Since I don't really care to read his brainspew in full, can you quote the relevant part here, instead of just linking to it?

Here ya go:

This is after a final crossing-the-line piece of lunar drama. The kind that just obliterates any remaining good will or loyalty to anyone involved. Suffice it to say if the New Tobin Paradigm survives in any form.. It is clearly now rebranded as The Pale Moon Paradigm and I.. want no part of it.

It does seem to be more and more confusing lately, doesn't it?

Thanks for quoting it. Suffice to say I don't know what he's going on about, and since he's not elaborating as per usual it could be anything, or maybe even nothing at all.

So to answer the topic title? Only he knows.

I mean, I don't know what he's talking about, but as far as I know, things have been over between us and him for a long time. I reckoned we'd all kind of settled this and went our separate ways years ago at this point?

The way I see it, he quit, and that's that. There's nothing more that needs to be discussed.
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind
