Hey, I'm not arguing that we didn't have people who were doing this. I have admitted that I didn't KNOW they were.

But I see the people still in the guild, and I've grouped with many of them. I've chatted with almost all of them (in case you missed it, I'm chatty [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ).

They are good people. I'm a good person.

Some of our members did something that I find deeply wrong. I think it's even morally wrong. I don't defend them, or that action.

But this isn't something we condone. We don't know how to recognize that. Not enough experience in P99.

You can be ignorant and still be a good person. Our guild is filled with helpful, good folks. Apparently it was also filled with others, for which we can only apologize and move on a bit more aware and hopefully learn from this mistake.

ALL of our officers and our GM are still there. They weren't banned because they were NOT in on any bad behavior. They don't support, condone, or assist with it under any circumstances.

We're certainly not perfect! But those of us who remain are great folks. It's a shame that this has happened for that reason more than any other. We don't deserve the reputation that you guys have willingly accepted for us. What we're being accused of is not something we agree with or believe in. None of our officers were hit in the ban, because we're just not like that.

The very principles the guild is founded on are against that. We made a mistake. We didn't know. We can admit that humbly. We are by no means perfect.

We remain as a guild. If we were 99% evil, vile monsters as you people are trying to paint us, he would have disbanded us without a second thought. You don't have to believe that we didn't know and do NOT agree with it. It's pretty clear that people want to hate us. I don't know why. I don't understand it.

At the end of the day, though... you don't know us. You haven't met the people in the guild. Some of our members did things we didn't agree with behind our backs. We're not okay with that. We're not bad people because bad people betrayed us, either.
