"The last person, and I do mean the LAST person that I got into this kind of argument with, I quit."
If it keeps happening that you have such arguments with people, maybe it's you and not them?
Look Kisai, nothing against you personally, but you're not what I would consider a good coder. There has been more than one occasion when I've had to set you straight on how something works because you were making a foolish and/or dangerous assumption about how the application or database works.
That's not to say I don't think you have the potential to do wondrous things, nor that I don't appreciate you for what you have accomplished, but it makes the fact that you don't communicate with Striker that much worse.
In a professional environment, it's extremely important to talk with your colleagues to make sure that you're on the right track, and to make sure that you're not the absolute only person who can do something (like support code). So why should you tackle this with anything less than a professional attitude? Because you're not being paid? Give me a break. This is a job, whether you're paid or not, and if you're not up to the task of working as part of a team, and can't handle the amount of work to do it properly, maybe you SHOULD quit.
Striker has his own issues. He's often heavy-handed in his relations with the users, but he's got a good head on his shoulders and seems pretty good at not only knowing what is the right thing to do (when talking about code/systems), but how and why. He just needs some adjustment on his people skills :) (sorry man, but it's true ;) )
Honestly, if the two of you cut all of the bullshit out and worked as a team I think that CG would be far better than anything else, but your seeming hatred for him drags everyone down.
You just need to realize that he has the same goal as you, and if you help each other and work as a team you will do better. If you keep him out of the loop you're going to continue to bash heads with each other, over and over and over, and that benefits no one. It makes for a worse system, more difficult to fix, more difficult to keep working, harder to use and with more conflict than anyone needs to see.
"Without Striker, there is no loop." Make that your mantra. It's a good place to start. Keep the lines of communication going so that if someone contacts him with a problem he has a chance to figure it out.
