... Never? Really?
I've been following MAME in one way or another since 1999 and it's always had these huge fights between project collaborators. Hell, that's part of the charm of the emuscene in general.
If you actually think this is bad then you really, really should not look into the past.
Though yeah, it sucks the guy lost his job, and I don't wish that upon ANYONE but there really wasn't any need to start a fight over the usual stuff.
