Yes it is, and your guild just lost a lot of what little they had. Surely you can't be proposing that everyone stop talking shit about your guild and be reasonable when your guild appears to relish shit talk both in game and on the forums and even has officers actively participating in it on a daily basis.

I am under no illusions that TMO's public image is anything other than that of a spoiled child. Frankly, we deserve whatever image we have that comes from the rampant forum questing of our members that play
solely to ruin other people's good time. The actions and motivations of those members are incredibly childish, and because the rest of the membership has apathetically allowed them to present that image we deserve our current reputation due to our inaction.
I am talking to TMO just as much as I am talking to anyone else. Perhaps even more so. TMO is certainly responsible for its image, but it does not operate alone. We all see the daily back and forth, and I even let myself get drawn into it on a basis that is more regular than I would like. I want to see a server that just wanted to raid competitively without dominating every single spawn. I want to play on a server where the guilds don't want to murder each other with fire. I recognize and freely admit that TMO has done more than its fair share of contributing to the current situation.
However, any solution will take more than TMO. I don't expect things to honestly change. I really don't. But, I am excited at the prospect, and if we want to do something we need to clean our own house first. Respect is a two way street. Currently neither side is on that road, and I recognize that TMO is in a position to take the first step. I just hope that first step is not in vain.
