I wonder why that is.

The ones whom one would think would want that end the most have also been his least reliable backing, at least on the internet.

Base building is another form of being a "Professional"; it's unfortunate that more people aren't careful what they ask for, since if they manage to get what they want to one extent or another, in really complex and somewhat less than authentic contexts, that can REALLY result in death and destruction to others.
