Well, there is more to it than I know, but here is what happened as far as I can tell, gleaned form various posts and emails from those involved:
OCW (organization of creationist websites) was originally a sort of 'democratic' enterprise - there were several 'members', including Fred, who were basically in charge of the goings on the message board and related sites.
As time went on, it became clear that the creationist position - as exemplified by Fred - was a losing cause. Evolutionists were getting the best of the 'best' creationist participants, and the hard-core creationists of the organization (Fred among them) demanded that the moderators engage in more banning and heavy handed censorship. The moderator of the time refused to do so, and a cabal of other members decided to basically prevent the 'good' moderator from continuing. They somehow (I have no idea how all this went down) prevented him from accessing the site, and installed a series of puppet 'moderators' (see link).
Later, the coup victim, somehow re-hijacked the site, and returned it to a sane place. This, of ourse, infuriated the hard core zealots, whom have since (well, at least Fred has) engaged in some rather unkind aspersion casting at those now in charge.
And there it is.
