I know of at least 4 people who left here because of arguments with the man himself and never came back. It's quite sad considering they all went to his shows, bought his albums and supported him until they just couldn't handle it anymore.
I've had several run ins with Meat too and I'd like think we were both equally wrong and argumentative at times.
Sure Meat deserves specific respect as he is the artist after all but I think everyone (including Meat) must take written word with a pinch of salt. It is very easy to read things out of context and take things the wrong way. And also as several mods often pointed out perhaps re-read your message and think about what you are trying to achieve before pressing "Submit Reply".
Interestingly all my PMs have only ever been positive with everyone on this board so I guess the opinion based posting can often come across as much more negative than people really are around here. I guess people often think quickly that people are ganging up on them and you can feel like a victim and this includes Meat.
Sure I've seen Meat post bad things but I've also seen him post the most honest and heartfelt posts of any artist I can think of.
Repeatedly he has acknowledged the privileged position he has been and thanked everyone and also acknowledged his mistakes or problems. Quite humbling I think.
With regards to this hiatus I think he just wanted to focus on work and stop giving away too many secrets about the new album. That's all I remember from his last posts from last year anyway.
