You're the one using terms like 'strong ties' and 'group'. Idler is an individual and may post as such. His posts do not represent the views of 1up as an alliance nor are they neccessarily indicative of anything 1up related.

You're hardly championing the cause here though are you? Is your support only relative to how hard a time you get from 1up members?

This thread has been unbearably dull but I have read all of it and the only person doing any 1up referencing was you. Idler brought about a personal matter between you and him. He hasn't used 1up as an example anywhere nor are his posts influenced in any way by 1up on an alliance level. If you have a beef with idler about him creating this thread then fair enough but leave my alliance out of it. For the record I like Idler but he does tend to talk utter drivel on the forums. That said, it does sometimes make me laugh.
In fairness you had no real right complaining at Idler for negrepping you anonymously and without justification. If the boards allow it then you have no right chastising anyone for it. If it's that much of an issue for people then make it so they have to be signed.
Finally, if we're talking about 'groups' of AD posters. You might want to start smearing tar over several alliances with the same brush. 1up posters do tend to be strong in thier opinions, no doubt, but usually they are reasonably well expressed and contain reasoning. If you want to start bleating on then look no further than anyone that has ever used "owned", "n00b" or retard in thier post before you harass people with justifiable input into the conversation.
