This is starting to break down, so I'm going to go ahead and lock it unless another Admin disagrees with me.
But here's a final thought for everyone in the community.
I had a very long talk with Fusion tonight. We went over the whole situation and discovered something very important.
Fusion, and most of the BTs clan was under the assumption that the Admins had more information that we were given. They seem to have more information to give, but never communicated it to us. Partly blinded by their anger over the whole situation before the Admins ever got involved, they left a lot of stuff out.
We Admins discussed things that didn't seem to make it back to most of the BTs clan members. So we too were under an assumption that they had more information then they did.
There was a large breakdown in communication. I'm not saying that this information would have automatically changed any decision, that's not my place. I'm not saying that the Admins were wrong, because they did consult both sides and did make the best decision they could with all the information they were given by the clans.
What I am saying is that everyone has to learn from this. BTs was really pissed off. They let that anger get in the way of working with the Admins to solve the problem.
Could the Admins have done a better job. Sure. Nobody is perfect and there are things that we will learn from this to do better next time.
But if a clan is not capable of relating all the important information, when asked for and needed, then they really can't blame the Admins when they don't agree with the decision. Well, obviously they can, but it's not right.
Fusion is working on fixing the communication holes, so all the BTs members know all the information, and there is no more miscommunication.
I also accept Fusions explaination of how he was not calling the integrity of the Admins into question, but it was just an unfortunate choice of words, and that he didn't know some of the things posted in the Admin section that he should have.
For myself, I apologize to Fusion, FahQ2, Crypt, and Static for any lost patience or if I was being a dick about some of your posts. I was under the assumption that you knew more than you did, and were being dicks. I was wrong, and am sorry.
Anyone hosting game, or adding tags to their name saying BL Sucks, or anything to that extent, you are being dicks, you most likely don't know close to all the facts, and you should really think about this message and where anger leads. If BTs got screwed (and yes, it is an if) that it was more because of their own anger than any other reason in my opinion.
BTW, that's all this post is. It's not a message from the Battle League, or the Admins. It is all simply my opinion as a guy more enlightened than yesterday.
And on that note:
