It's an unpleasant flamewar to read, and a good reminder that hobby and meddling-in don't mix well at all. I look at FTN like kinda being an equivalent to something like HAM radio, where the stations are people who enjoy putting private time and creative effort into keeping a technology in use. Theirs is radiowaves, and they also incorporate modern tech into their world (WebSDR). Ours is bulletin boards and FTN. They send QSL cards when a test-connect succeeds, we send an echo-reply with kludges. It's a hobby. We do it like we want, and i'm glad you and others started your own network.

Best,
Floris
