The big issue was that he had an ego, and so did Emily, which could only feed into a breaking point that he reached on that day. If you read his penultimate post, he wrote that
>Either the cancer continued and the thread withers and dies, the problem leaves and we can have some healthy normalcy, or I go and it probably dies without me moving things along.
He legitimately thought himself to be the lifeblood of this place like Emily, and while he's contributed a ton to this place, the fact that it's still standing two months after the incident kind of proves that wrong.
I support his decision in retrospect, but the idea that there wouldn't be any dissent against his decision was silly, and his sudden switchup along with his decision to abandon EIF tells me that it was an impulse decision. In the same thread he said that
>The artsy types have the right idea, I'll check in maybe once or twice a week if I feel like it.
>Truth be told, I had my mind made up since before the last thread had ended that if the spergs couldn't shape up or get shipped out that this was going to be my final ride.
Anyone who thinks this was premeditated is delusional.
And the reason that his decision was controversial is because this is 4chan, unironically the last bastion of true freedom of speech on the internet, and likewise it is the only place on the internet where free speech absolutism is the norm. I'm going to say it again:
>I cannot stress this enough, if this were any forum, a Twitter GC or a Discord server, or literally any place with competent user-led moderation, Rocky would have been banned several months ago to the glee of everyone in here. But since it isn't, then this shit happened instead
Anyone who defended Emily back then did so on principle, not because they actually liked him, but because they feared the precedent Archivist was setting. Regardless, the fact that Emily had defenders at all seems to have bruised his ego to the point that he felt the need to quit.
