Someone started whining to him about a cartoon drawing of an S. It was THEIR cartoon and should never be used by anyone else (as part of a signature for example).
X called him on it with a simple and very logical response, then the guy got all his buddies to start spouting idiocy on Xviper threads to get even.
X had enough. I think he felt that Kindercare had taken over the forum, and he moved on. It was a final straw on the camel's back, but a classic example of the worst sort.

1) he was wrong about the copyright issue involved, and
2) your depiction of the events is not very accurate.
The relevant threads are still available on this site. Anybody who wants to read them for themselves can do so, and then make their own judgement about what happened.

despite other issues x-viper was definetly a great source of information and sorely missed - I have used most of his DIY threads and they have been very helpful.
Thank god the basic design of the car has not changed in 9 years

Good to hear they are out there for folks that want to read about it for themselves.

He is probably the foremost living resource/authority on the S2000.
In this case, he made a mistake. A whole bunch of people jumped on him really hard for it. A rare chance to get a dig in.
A guy gets tired of that stuff, eventually.

I think the status is that we get to drive around the original S2000, as Honda intended it.
(Note to all: Not an AP1 v. AP2, simply remarking on the age of our vehicles.)
