Nah pretty sure any post you'll find it was pinned on a few smaller Class R guilds who were exploiting loopholes in the rotation rules.

Here's some history for you from an actual participant:
"Exploting" was definitely the rationale of the 3 largest Class R Guilds that presented the smaller Guilds with a draconian new ruleset for Class R with repeated ultimatums threatening to break the rotation - "they are exploiting the Class R model". They felt that smaller Guilds assisting each other with kills that they might not be able to take down 24/7 was "exploiting" and wanted to lock those Guilds out of the pixels that they wanted.
I think the smaller Guilds on the other hand felt that since the mobs were already allocated to a Guild in the rotation, assisting other Guilds wasn't reducing the mobs available to anyone else, and sharing in the loot wasn't reducing the loot available to everyone else. So not "exploiting" at all. The Big3 needed to be Class C anyways.
I don't think Divinity was more than a willing participant in the three Guild-led ruleset change to greedily snag extra pixels for themselves in a BDA/Taken/Divinity rotation. They were probably kicking themselves afterwards since when things settled down and CSG worked out how to coordinate three Guilds at a raid, it was pretty much on a rotation of BDA - Taken - Casual Scum Guilds (Omni/AG/Europa) and they didn't get a lot of mobs for quite a while.
Just some perspective. The rotation fell apart because the three biggest Class R Guilds were greedily coveting the slots of the smaller Guilds, wanted to lock them out if they couldn't kill the mobs solo 24/7, and the smaller Guilds told them to go to hell.
