Find it amusing how every darned innocuous thread (a thread giving props to Piru in this case) on A.org seems to degrade into either a red. vs blue flamefest or some festival of tender feelings butthurt about religion or religious style morality egofest.

Just saying.  It'd be amusing if it wasn't so predictable :)

Oh, it most certainly is.  That I don't doubt.  Piru always was a fun guy and had a thick skin, but I think the unprofessionalism esp. on the operators end of A.org really took its toll on the old timers.  I suspect Jens and others left for the same reasons.  A.org is the best Amiga site in the world to find completely non Amiga related fluff posts linked from other half baked "news" sites (see the Win 8 type tabloid journalism "news" linkbait type stuff that's so rampant here lately).

Between the rampant "link bait" posts, the pandering to C-USA, and stuff like the weird little "service blackout" that Tedd pulled I am surprised more people did not leave.
