Mayu covered this for the public knowledge. Keeping up on the drama on sites like this is fun (there really needs to be a sarcastic smiley for things like that), but I don't understand why it has to be made public so often lately. All it does is breed hard feelings and put a negative vibe for potential new blood viewing the boards and thinking about getting involved.

More of that fun keeping up on drama stuff. Real-life was brought up to clarify why people use the AFK/Busy tags in the chats, which wasn't even one of his recent threads. While he participated, no one was belligerent toward him. If anything, people were quite polite about explaining the nature of the issue at hand. Real-life does factor in, and calling people "idiots" for having real lives that affect their free time is uncalled for, and outright belligerent without reason.

Ask anyone who has posted complaint threads without offering a legitimate proposal of a solution how the general opinion toward them changes. As a rule, people don't like being bluntly criticized or lambasted for something that they have no control over when that criticism isn't presented constructively. But you know that already, since all of the recent criticism threads have all included (or alluded to) the suggestion to make a suggestion on how to improve matters. If you can't take the heat, don't light a potential fire, stick to venting with your friends for cathartic relief and look for a plausible solution.
As it was with previous "us vs. them" situations, it's a reactive fallacy. There is no conspiracy, people aren't out to get you, and playing the victim doesn't gain any sympathy over the internet for getting the exact reaction that you provoke.
