timmie: I actually like that response. I'll give it a serious reply absent all of the extra inflammatory stuff I've been throwing in.
Every tag is responsible for every little thing their members do. This is especially true for small tags, where a single member's actions make so much more of an impact on how people perceive that tag's behaviour. To illustrate, I'll use an answer a question mrcuban previously asked: if someone from MD top feeds an LaF country does that make MD a group of assholes by default?
It depends entirely on MD's response and what happens in the future. If MD clearly says they don't approve of unsanctioned antagonistic behaviour and take steps to prevent their member from doing things like that in the future, then no, I wouldn't consider them to be assholes.
There are two problems here for Titans:
1. Titans and MD are not alike. One is four members while the other is near 60. The impact of one Titans member topfeeding is closer to fifteen MD members topfeeding than it is to a single MD member, in terms of perception of how the tag acts. If fifteen MDers were to topfeed an alliance, I'd absolutely call them assholes.
2. Titans (as evidenced by yourself and mrcuban, as well as #387's ingame actions) haven't clearly stated that they disapprove of what #387 did and haven't stopped #387 from taking further unprovoked aggressive actions; #387 also missiled #382. When a tag refuses to be responsible for their membership and can't stop them from provoking others, I'd call them assholes as their words are worthless and it is only the actions that matter.
Now, I'll freely admit that I came on here to rain your parade and ruin your farewell thread. I am upset at things Titans have done, and I am being deliberately provocative to piss you off since by leaving you're removing by ability to do anything about this ingame. You're clearly pissed, timmie, so as far as you're concerned I've made my point and I'll go ahead and wish you the best in the future.
And, I wasn't referring to you when I said Titans lie. I was deliberately interpreting what mrcuban has said in a negative light and then painting everyone with the same brush. I won't say I meant no offense as I'd be lying (I totally meant offense), but that was before I got you to blow up.
All the best in the future, honestly.
mrcuban: Just 'cause timmie is off the hook as far as I'm concerned doesn't mean you are. You still rate as a total asshole based on what you've posted.
