I will say again, I gave Hades many chances, and he never gave up attempting to undermine my decisions....
Dont remember this. See below.
Even suggestions "threatening" other staff by Hade's "coached associate" "would be a bad thing" if they associated with me....
I never coached others. See bottom paragraph. I also believe correct grammar would be Hades' .
Hades even tried to infiltrate our community by using his girlfriends computer...
Never attempted this. What actually happened was something different. I was at
his house. I rebooted my computer and tested to see if the ban was an IP or simply steamID. I expected an IP ban and sure enough it confirmed it was. Also
boyfriend, not girlfriend.
...and even attempting to impersonate myself.
Literally all I can say to this is: the fuck. Why in god's name would I impersonate someone such as yourself? I admit I despised you to a certain degree before I decided to move on. Never would I attempt to impersonate you nor anyone else. My name history doesn't even have that. Nor does my alt.
Refer to bottom statement.
I am sure he will be more careful next time when he attempts to steamroll another staff's reputation.
You did this all on your own Pixels. Now you get to reap the benefits just as I had and now have to.
I had conditions, which all of you failed to understand which were in my opinion best for the communities best interest.
The way in which you stated them is selfish. Words are everything as we cannot here the tone of voice you used, your body language. You said:
The following conditions must be met prior to my re-applying:
Arrogant, selfish, your entire first post not just this sentence sounded as if you expected SS owed you.
I ALSO did NOT destroy any Steam group, get that out of your head, DEATH wrecked it. I didn't give a stop order to it, Death did.
I call BS. And not just me, many of us sing a familiar tune when it comes to this. You kicked everyone thereby indicating the group was yours, just as you did in the gone post. "we lost them with your stepping down". How you cannot see the consequence of your actions is beyond me.
I never bad mouthed the community
You might as well call it that. Lets look at what you have done:
1. In your gone post you
A. Told everyone before leaving "Hope yall get fucked over by him"
B. Used a secondary account to spy on peoples reactions( as pointed out by umbara)
C. Quit as head administrator.
2. You insulted Death many times, public some of them, the rest private I am sure..
Your profile contains one such example:

I understand.
I only hope Death checks his brain cells before it is too late. The more time passes, the more cemented my decision will be.

Hey man. Regardless of what your standings are with tf2swapshop, you were always a valuable friend to me and I don't want to lose you. Whether it be sniping with death and attention kit or helping me test some stuff with my server, you always had this friendly aura that made everyone's day a little better.
Just because someone assumed something doesn't make it correct.
You assumed multiple times about my actions back before YOU fired me Pixels. Not ONCE, not a single time, did you come to me and talk about your concerns. That I remember. When I asked you about certain situations you gave cryptic answers worse than that of Yoda. If a "leader" fails to take the time to help educate his colleague, you are no longer a good leader. You expected too much from someone who couldn't understand what was being told to him. Not only that but you were so rooted against change that when I made the HTML staff page the first time(the current one marks the second one created) you thought it would replace your BBC post, and tried everything you could to get it taken down. I went against you in that. So I am sure that is one of your times of "gave Hades many chances, and he never gave up attempting to undermine my decisions....". You even went so far as to make a ban against Spydex (You all may not like him but please listen), the ban reason do you remember? "Fuck it, never liked the guy". You banned someone for not liking them. How can you call yourself a good leader when you made actions like that? I am also not the only one that saw the ban. However I can't say their names for obvious reasons. You also banned me from the forum. Then after banning me proceeded to tell your side of the story. And guess what? I couldn't do anything about it, you ruined friendships that I had with others, burned bridges. The reason people went against you, wasn't "coaching", it was because they agreed. The only one sounding like they were coaching people is you pixels.
We both made mistakes pixels. The difference between you and me is simple yet vast. Where I acknowledge what I have done, You either deny, or blame someone else.
