I still think it would have been the right choice, though I understand exactly where you are coming from. For me, the fact he had the motivation to bring together a group of strangers, and foot the initial bill makes it practically his project. Paying him a little bit extra to stand down and take no future legal action (quitclaim deed), might just be worth it. Indeed, getting this out of the spotlight is necessary for the health of the community.
That said, I'm glad you stand by your convictions. If I felt strongly that he had not brought value to this site, I too would be right with you.
At this point, I'm just anxious to find out who the new owner is, and see if things will go sideways a 2nd time. I would have prefered if we the community had just "bought it", but I guess in the end some leadership with strong communication skills will be needed. I just have concerns... this is turning into a great place, I'd hate to see it all go to waste now.
