I don't recall dada (for that is his name - not Lala, he will be upset!) suggesting he has an axe to grind. Maybe he could see what was happening there and got out. He is, as we all are, entitled to an opinion. His views appear consistent with those of others on this thread and various Emerald threads from the past. He just has a slightly less subtle way of expressing them!
To be quite honest, the more I read about Emerald the more I tend to agree with dada. And I thought I had it bad!
