David Hope @davidhope.ca · 03/10/2026I'd come to this conclusion as well, long before this incident. There are so many talented people out there, I have no compunction about moving on when folks are found to have hurt others. I get the pain of no longer enjoying something that you'd previously cared for, but go find something new! 110
