Here's my take, though.
Jerome has been a huge part of this board. No question. However, behind the scenes, it's been more of a love/hate relationship. He has shown flashes of brilliance (MLB prospects thread, etc.), and also non-brilliance (couldn't think of the best word to describe it; in terms of underlying meanings to some of his comments). The line was surpassed a number of times IMO, but people are always entitled to their opinions. Continuous "attacks" just added fuel to the fire.
What affected me the most was the way that Jerome ended this whole affair. He put down the board by saying that we were headed in a direction that he wasn't interested in (in other words, a bad direction). I would love for more of an explanation because I don't see any problems at the moment. For a person that usually sticks to his beliefs with uttermost confidence, he folded pretty easily in the end. I was expecting at least a few suggestions.
I thank Jerome for what he has brought to this board during his stay. I wouldn't mind having him back, but I will not go out of my way to do so. My overall opinion of him has dropped a few notches (mainly due to his farewell speech). He made a decision that both sides have to live with.
In other words, let's forget about the past, and concentrate on the future.
