Stump was a great, thoughtful poster and a good moderator... but he slowly over time grew wings and a stinger and joined the hive mind after seemingly resisting it for so long. When he jumped aboard the crazy train is probably a key moment in GAF fully going off the rails, considering his long winded but generally thoughtful posts did seem to have a major impact on the community overall. Once the conductor punched his crazy train ticket though, his posts instead became awful, self righteous, smarter-than-thou social justice trash and I didn’t feel so guilty for laughing at his gigantic pumpkin-shaped head anymore.
Still, I hope getting away from GAF/staying away from ERA and all their crazy toxic bullshit has been good for him and allowed him to re-center himself somewhat. I don’t consider him to be an irredeemable cunt the way Besada or Bishoptl are.
