[GM8]

Well,

The topic was locked by the time I came back to my house to post on it, but I'm not going to let that stop me from speaking my defense. I know this may seem like a petty thing to do, but I really believe in this cause; and I won't see it through without words being spoken by myself.

I'll come out and say something in Baseballl's defense. I am best friends with Baseballl, and I talk to him about many things, including SeeD. Never has Baseballl mentioned feelings of Anti-SeeDness, nor has he posted them. There have been times in Delta Force where questions were raised about SeeD, and they were opportune times to turn it into an Anti-SeeD topic, but Baseballl has always promoted SeeD and promoted being for it.

After I left SeeD when I tried to get the conflicts to end, I was gone for a month. Baseballl kindly invited me into the clan he had made, and this was shortly after his departure. Even then Baseballl never said anything against SeeD! He even told us that he was coming back to this clan. I'm very shocked to see that he is suspect to such crimes when I know the truth.

I've never lied to this clan, and I never intend to. And what I say is true. Baseballl has worked his *** off for this clan, and sadly enough, through this piece of crap toolkit, he was hacked. I don't understand why everyone easily judges the accused. I know Baseballl as a friend and a leader, and I know that he would never do anything to jeopardize either of those positions.

And as for Mrb1 . . . he is my friend, too. We talk a lot online, and he has never expressed Anti-SeeD sentiments, not even in the privacy of the DF Forums, which he had all the chances he wanted to. Neither Baseballl nor Mrb1 would claim an Anti-SeeD position, for they never wish to be that way. The clan they work for and labor for is forsaking them on such hastily generalized terms. I give my word on these two men that neither are Anti-SeeD.

Mrb1 and I are bother Supermods in Baseballl's clan, and we've read comments about SeeD that have not been positive, but they haven't been negative. We have even promoted people to stay in SeeD. Some people were caught in between staying in this clan or joining another clan, and we've advised them to stay in both clans. Why would an Anti-SeeD promote SeeD membership? Why would these two dedicated clan members, my SeeD brethren, attack the clan that has taken them in and that they have worked so hard to make great?

We've all had our issues in this clan, including myself, but I don't think Baseballl and Mrb1 have had the issues of betrayal. I will back them up 100%. I know there are a few members in this clan that look up to me, and I want them to know that what is happening to Baseballl and Mrb1 is wrong. Those of you who know that I take pride in how others perceive me and how I take pride in my posts know how serious I am right now. I take pride in these two members. I am proud to be affiliated with them. And I deeply resent the allegations brought down upon them. Think about what they have done for you, and look at what you're doing to them. It's not right, and it's not the truth. I, GM8, demand justice without bias. I demand truth. And most of all, I demand trust.

Those of you who know that I try my hardest to build fellowship know that I would never do anything to betray the values that I preach. I will not devastate the fellowship of this clan by lying, and I will not hurt the bonds of friendship by betraying those who I am proud to know. I pray that this foolishness be abolished and that our SeeD brothers may be returned to the well-deserved status that they once carried in pride.



Once a SeeD, Always a SeeD,

(Sorry about closing this up, just don't want any more cluttered threads for cspace to catch up on when he gets back since this just needs to be ended as quickly as possible.)

I agree, members can't be banned or anything like that over something like this. Those two members have done a lot and stuck with SeeD for a long time, so that's why we need to get this trial rolling. No members will get banned without solid evidence they did something that was against SeeD. So many got involved so it's one confusing jumble that needs sorting out. Cspace and a few leaders (to help control it) just need to sort it out in this suggested trial so that no one is banned for something they didn't do.

P.S. Please no one else make threads like this. It's okay though GM8, you've state some true facts and shown some good opinions. But no one else make a thread as a reply to the thread in Announcements. Cspace can't spend time catching up on it when he needs to just sort it out. Let's just end it at GM8's reply.
