Shado and I are ACTUALLY telepathic. It's terrifying.
Sneaky, you've made a decision and I won't actively doing anything to weaken Star. That being said, I'm disappointed. I won't do a quote by quote analysis like Eden cause I'm not some debate-obsessed vagina, but you at one point wrote...
And I thought about this.
1) No, I don't think we do. I don't think ANYONE can claim to match the level of dedication you and Star have for this clan. I wouldn't even be naive enough to try.
2) I don't understand. Clearly it's not a lack of balls that would prevent me from making a decision with such bad consequences, it's my ability to realize that it's COMPLETELY pointless to do something like ban Excep for that. Please, I was more than ready to ban Panda multiple times, I believe he's a piece of ignorant shit. But I'm RATIONAL enough to keep it cool. Star is NOT. He is a great guy. He knows I like him. But he's NOT always rational. He has moments where he just DOES, just BANS, just LOCKS... I told you this once and I'll say it again. He has a policeman mentality, which is EXACTLY what Eden's thread was criticizing, and it's INEVITABLY corrupt.

Food for thought.
I'd like to add some things here, because I believe Eden is correct, just rude and belligerent.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE: The best leaders mirror the behavior they want to see, and hope people emulate them. I may criticize Eden for having a fanbase, but I'd rather Eden have a fanbase than Exception, or Panda, or, god help us, Hydro/Shoxzz. QS leaders, act the way you want members to act.
POLICE FORCE VS. LEADER:
When a thread goes off topic....
POLICEMAN: Get back on topic nao!
LEADER: *ignores off-topic unrelated posts and brings discussion back by contributing some sort of value to the discussion*.
Don't be Policemen. Unless your Star, in which case I think it's inevitable lol. But THAT'S why Star is on round TWO of having conflicts arise over his actions. This is why I think he can do janitorial work, but can't MANAGE. He cannot manage people. End of story.

Does anyone else care about me and QS like Star does?? Seriously? and if you do, would you have the FUCKING BALLS to make a decision that has these consequences!?!
and if you did, would you like to be punished for that??
