It does seem that there are more than I expected so perhaps it wasn't a contributing factor.
I don't accept Surgat as an example because the group doesn't sound like they criticise or compete with FA but just mock certain art that is posted to FA. I also don't accept Daemonshyai because, whatever he's involved in, he was brought in by Dragoneer to help the site. It's not like he was involved in FA and then got involved in another project. As it is he isn't listed on the main staff list any more so that is a bit strange.
Might be interesting to revisit this topic when Weasyl is up, particularly if it does well.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
