^ I cannot possibly fathom how such a hardliner stance will gain any reputability nor benefit for TWP. What TWP and TWPAF needs to do is take a stance on neutrality, to allow for cooperation between the raiding and defending community with a singular interest in mind; TWP itself.
The only reason I actually take the time to join and become active in GCR's is because it may be the only time I can break away from my social norm of being a raider, and I can collaborate with bright minds on the opposition, because we have an outlying goal in mind. What TWPAF needs to do is allow itself to become a facilitator for unilateral cooperation between all gameplay alignments.
I will admit that I am glad to see that TWPAF has reorganized itself. While I am not as glad to see that TWPAF has fallen into certain hands, I will set aside my prejudice as I have a genuine interest in improving TWP and TWPAF, and that should be your outlook as well.
