lcePack, after being the clan department leader and leaving in a huff, taking all your knowledge and information with you, basically leaving the clan department in shambles, don't you think it's a bit rich from you coming with all the (veiled) critisism, questioning how the clan department is doing their job, pointing out what you think should be done and how, etc., etc. ?
I'm not only talking about this topic, also about your posts in the CAT Forum.
Do you think it's ok to do so now because a few years have passed? Is it because you are back on Team CC in orange colours that you think you now have a right to do so?
Have you no shame?

Hey Lx
I think it’s a bit rich and rewriting of history to say I left the place “in shambles”. When I left, I had a fully trained Deputy (Keefie), groovy who was well versed in most of the department, and Dave who now leads it.
Am I the only person in the community that has knowledge and history? Am I somehow been bestowed the title of clan historian and didn’t know it? Please. There are others who have been around as long as I, or longer.
This post was looking at what appeared to be different wars being treated unequally. I would consider that a valid concern. This happens all the time, to every team. People ask questions and talk when they see things. Maybe you would take something like this personal for some reason instead of seeing it for what it is. That’s on you, not me.
My CAT forum post was me seeking whether I was the only one who felt the way I did, and clearly I wasn’t. This wasn’t veiled criticism, Jd said both he and the dept were receptive to constructive criticism. It wasn’t even criticism, it was saying “this is what used to be done, this is what I’m seeing now that I’m back, is the community supportive and ok with it?” Again, something I think is a valid point for ANY clan leader or CAT rep. Not just me, it just happens to be me asking the question. The CAT forum is literally there for posts like mine, and caymans, and anyone else’s who wants to discuss clan topics whether it’s events or other.
Do you think that because I used to be an ex CD who left, I no longer have a valid voice in the community? I shouldn’t bring up issues that i see? Why would I have shame over asking valid questions?
My posting(s) have nothing to do with me being in TeamCC colors or not, I have no idea why you would think that’s tied in at all. I took a break from the site. I’ve come back. I’m getting plugged back into the clan scene. I’ve noticed things, and am asking questions.
I find it rich and hypocritical that you want to criticize someone with a low blow talking about abandoning a dept and then coming back like nothing happened, when you abandoned the dept and disappeared yourself in the middle of major events as the CD Evemt TO, and then came back like nothing happened.
So no, I have no shame in speaking up. I have nothing to hide but honest feedback and questions just like anyone else in the Clan Community can provide. Maybe if more people did, and got involved there wouldn’t be some of the issues and decline that we are witnessing today.
I’ve always been an active and vocal part of the Clan Community when I wasn’t on break, before I was a CD, while I was volunteering elsewhere, and even as a CD. I see no reason why that would change now after I’ve returned.
Cheers
