Don't know either of you two, but this is what myself (and maybe others) might see, "looking in from the outside",
1. Experienced dev helps someone with the work in developing a server.
2. Same dev helps with the GM work and decides to be extra nice to players. (maybe to help provide a friendly enviroment?)
3. Server owner shows his gratitude by saying "See ya, thanks for all your help, hope you're not disappointed"
4. Dev walks away feeling used and server owner is confused while he waits a year and a half to apologize.
But we can only go by what we just read. So far, seems like normal human behavior to me. Waiting for the spin cycle .....

Unfortunately this just isn't what happened. I was a new server dev, and he was absolutely amazing in helping me get to where I am now; however he will be the first to admit he left "ticking time bombs" of malicious code all over our server, in fact in his other post addressed to me on these forums he flat out admits that he hacked files and left "time bombs" to intentionally ruin our progress. In reality what happened is that he gave certain players hidden ways to grow stronger, he hid a command in the skeleton in the firepots room that if said granted the player 80 buffs, mostly out of era. He gave some players nice loot including epics but wouldn't help others with actual problems. Almost 100% of the work he did on our server was removed after our then developer Ghanja tracked down and removed each in turn. I was too new to know what he meant by "Maze left hackish bullshittery around your server" but i certainly understand now. Also so that you know I didn't remove his powers immediately, he had a meltdown in front of our staff and quit because "noone here is nice to me for all the f'ing work i do". He left of his own accord and then i removed his access and when he came back he was shocked.
I have tried for over a year to fix this dumb rift and at this point I just dont really care who thinks what, we know what happened. For the record I attemtped to apologize to him months ago when he came into our reddit recruitment post and posted nonstop vitriol. I have no ill will toward him or any other developer, but I'm not going to sit here and let you guys presume that he wasn't given fair treatment. He was given unmitigated access to our server and broke every rule Ghanja and I had laid down about GM powers, then had a screaming fit on his way out in skype. After that, and another year of him constantly seekign out our internet presence to tell others how bad we are it's just sort of become a running joke; he thnks we are plotting against him but noone on BNR, save for me, even remembers Maze because it was a year and a half ago.
