Randy has considerable influence over his groupies, and if this were a serious attempt to "make things right" then one would expect him to publicly use that influence over at the site where he's in charge to change things. Take a look at Brad's last thread on the 372, and you'll see that nothing changed, and while Randy professed to be upset about it, were there any appropriate actions to go along with that?
No, this is just the Randy Evans Summer Sales Spectacular on AS, trying to real in some new customers. I have no idea why site management is permitting it, but that is their choice - it will end badly.
As for the dominant male nonsense, the reality is that those who won't follow are targeted by the groupie squad who can't tolerate those who won't worship like they do. But it's good to remember this is just an obscure site for freaks who like to modify power tools.
