I can assure you that if you were to speak to soldiers in the manner that you do you would stir disent to the extent that you would be rated UNSAT by your fellow NCO's Your errors.. You are obviously caught up in the "cloak of invulnerability" that the Net gives you. I dare say your poise would not be so calm were you to be speaking to all the "disgruntled" CF'ers face to face. As a "Staff" member you seem to be forgeting that you are looked up to by some of the player base...(I lost it for you when I saw how scrawny you were, sheesh what a stick.)At any rate while I hesitate to call you a leader because you are not displaying any of the traits neccesary to be construed as such, It is a fact that you as a senior "staff" fellow DO have an absolute obligation to here out the player base and take into account there info. This was said above and I'm not saying we dictate policy but hey man the writing is on the wall. Moral is an intangible but inseperable force found in any body. Esprit de Corps(Spirit of the body)a sence of commradeire(sp?) in a group of people that makes them feel as if they belong and making them want to belong. these two things are the most important things in the military to have a cohesive and effrctive fighting force. Esprit de corps is between soldier and soldier, Soldier and sergeant, Seargeant and Command AND Cammand and te soldier. ALL must understand that they are dependant upon the other. When all is well Moral is high and good things happen...(Unless you get shelled *DONE THAT*)when the Corps losses esprit then moral drops and the unit becomes less or completely ineffective. More than guns and the enemy this will destroy a unit. You seem to be flaunting your position as a higher ranking IMM. I don't find it endearing and apparently others aren't as well. nep has stated before that he has become Jaded and I think your "mean spiritedness has gotten a little to deep into you. Yes we could all leave..well I can't i've tried but I spend to much money... but we don't want to. i'll say I instead of we...I like the game...I admire what you have done...I am amazed that this is even possible...I am glad that you all are here but please drop the hollier than thou attitude with us. And while we are at it FUCK PIKEL that's bullshit no matter how you try to justify it. Jeez.
You talk to much and as such are doing what is know as "Divesting the cloak of authority."
