I definitely can understand your perspective Gadfly.
Sure they did fine after I left, we had a large number of well trained and experienced raiders. They didn't need amazing leadership. Merging with FE was a bad move though and led to implosion. I probably would have changed my initial position and supported blue TMO if they didn't merge with FE and drag the guild through the mud.

Though we also had the issue of Portsche stripping Darkdeath's character & other stuff like that, which did not help relations!
The one good thing that came out of all of it is that we are now converting the guildbank into red platinum to help get things started over here. Red has been good times so far!
