While I do not agree with warman about everything, I do believe in his right to post a well worded defense. Before you flame or make remarks consistent with a 4 year old please remember that there are still some serious points that he raises.

First-
Tosa has always been and always will be a dictator. He runs the .org with an iron fist. He answers to no one and he has shown time and time again he is willing to put his .org before the good of the community. His intentions might have been good but the results are obvious. People prefer an open style of leadership as TotalWars.net and TWCenter.net have proven. The developers have followed the community to where it goes, regardless of how strict that forum is about ca comments.

Second-
Kage, you are my old friend and it saddens me to what you did to Warman. He has had his rank stripped from him at TWC for plagiarism. While I admit I dont know the full extent of the story, I never knew you to be the type of person to seek revenge. People post at TWC because of the way its run. Wanting to port your good idea to a place thats popular is not disrespectful. Instead of working together to create a better community you have harmed it.

Third-
No proof was ever offered concerning hacking. Warman is not a computer guru, I have often had to help him with very simple tasks. Writing "sheeplover" into Tosa's login with the knowledge that it would generate a report is hardly hacking, its a personal insult. Just another example of why dictatorships are bad.


I dont think you should reinstate Warman, you will never forgive him for the lies you all have convinced yourselves he did. The only purpose in letting him back to the .org would be to make fun and abuse him. I posted a long time ago that I would never post at the .org again, and for the most part I dont. A word here a word there, its like walking on eggshells. Im now a local moderator at TWC and im hosting tournaments, campaigns, making maps, enriching the community with knowledge, supporting multiplayer issues, and working on patch balance. Something I was forbidden to do here because of Tosa. Now ask yourselves. Is the org better off today than it was 5 years ago? Are you happy with things the way they are? Or do you wish that you were a part of a gigantic thriving community lead by votes and reason.

Warman isnt crazy, all of you are for being die hard .org supporters. You should listen to him and read the history of the gates and see for yourselves how this place is run.
