I don't intend to open up a can of worms by asking this, but I want to know what caused Connary to leave so hastily last January. Reading the threads that supposedly led up to that point mostly fills me with confusion; from what I can gather, some people were being rude in regards to his mods, and he decided to leave because he couldn't tolerate it? Is that it?

I'd hate to think that he's gone for good, especially over something so trivial.

Yes.

Unfortunately true. If you play X3TC you can enjoy what he's doing over there.

Yeah, these threads never go well, so I will lock it now.
