Reddit has enough problems right now. If I was sixty I'd probably mention that the sub mods took the subreddit dark without discussing it with him, against his wishes. Probably ends any discussion, assuming there was one going on to begin with.
My understanding is that he is/was not particularly active in moderating the subreddit. Bit stupid if you want all the control, but just dip in and out for months at a time. That probably ends any discussion imo.
