While the use of a different handle is not controversial by itself, the use of one to conceal the fact that the person who'd broken F-list was now working on FA (and in fact had been for a year) clearly ''was'' controversial. We ''should'' cover this, but I don't particularly like lumping everything he's done with websites into a "Controversy" section; if there's a better way to present his appointment, the controversy, and his departure, we should probably take it. The bulk of it probably belongs on [[History of Fur Affinity]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:19, 12 December 2014 (EST)
