Just posting this last one because I think it really explains his him vs the world mentality. Basically, you're either with him or against him there is no gray.

Anyway, I think the more active community are pretty much over him lol. Anything he does good or bad just doesnt create the same ripple effect it used to. There's so many top notch tail makers now, he's no longer the big fish in the little pond!

It's so nice we've come so far that we have choices. When I started out he was basically it. I think a lot of the drama came from people trying to force him to do better because he was all we had. And everyone had big dreams.

I hope merrowfins can do well, but def need to step away from their designs they did for Eric. Regardless of who the owner is. there's now a chance to do something innovating and new and prove the skills and make some money. Don't be in Eric's shadow, step away and do their own thing.
