I cannot speak for Ron, but I believe that after he got going with Bido, he thought there may be a chance that he would no longer be viewed as agnostic in regard to DnJournal. We are all still good friends with him and he left on a very honorable note.
We can all appreciate his position and leadership on this field, so it is completely understandable.
With that being said, I think he is one of the most stand-up guys I have ever met.
Also, to follow up....
