Guys,
d+M isn't falling off the face of the earth. He will still be around; he will still be posting videos; he will still be him. However, from my understanding, he is taking a break from the creation end of things for a bit in an effort to re-calibrate his focus, passion, creativity, and interests.
Based on discussion with him last night, this is just a break born out of frustration. He holds artistic integrity in high regard, and he wants a breather to rejuvenate a bit of passion lost. The rest I think has been blown out of proportion, which is why I posted earlier in effort to clear up some rumors. In the meantime, I support d+M and I think there is nothing wrong with taking a breather. Let's respect that; no negativity or name-calling necessary. For now, let's return to the magic.
