meh i can't remember. i do know that he ostracized certain other members of the band, he was overly controlling, he fell out with everyone including Rollins and his brother Raymond, he became a pothead who signed any old band to SST records and ruined the label.
as i said i don't remember details but Ginn was a moron, or at least turned into one in the late 80s. That's just my opinion from what I've read about him, obviously I've never met him and I still regard him very highly. A lot of Black Flag fans blame Rollins for the demise of the band and for the change in their sound, but it was primarily the fault of Ginn. I say "fault", but I love post-Damaged 'Flag records, almost all of them anyway. And the band did probably end at the right time, although it woulda been interesting to see where they woulda went.
I can upload some Gone for you if you gimme some time.
