Obviously you're someone here that a lot of people will believe without question, and I'm sure you've done damage to lee's name by saying things you had no proof of at all other than those rumours, which isn't fair to him even with apology and retract If people could exercise an element of critical thinking, it wouldnt be such a big deal...Why do people need to pay any attention to the more scandalous suggestions being thrown about by people who are not involved, who have not witnessed or experienced any of the conduct and are therefore inherently unreliable? (There are valid reasons why hearsay evidence is for the most part, subject to certain caveats, inadmissible in legal proceedings). The simple fact that Coach Lee's player roster hemorrhages every few months is not speculation, is undeniable and is completely obvious to everyone. He's arguably not capable of fulfilling his role for this reason alone. I don't understand the fascination with attempting to lynch him for unproven, extraneous factors... | ||

Only drama I can think of that would be bigger than this is if someone posted a video of NaDa using a bunch of vietnamese kids to make the clothes he sells at his site. I incidentally did find a video including a clip of NaDa actually working out at the gym. | ||

Old boys club around here I guess. Actually, it is to a large degree. And they're quite open about it, e.g. 10 Commandments - "This is our house", "Thou shall respect forum veterans", etc. | ||

While they may be considered "minor" things in the grand scheme of things (ie. taking FD and tester), 'desperately living with oGs,', 'camera accusations' and 'blackmail FD/Tester' etc. affects the whole mood of things/viewpoints of Lee. While I agree that this doesn't make what Lee does acceptable, it strikes a point on the bias-ness on sources of information, not saying that Rekrul was writing a story in complete favour/bias of spunky's PoV, but some information based on heresay (and people taking it as gospel truth, though they didn't know at that time it was) makes my neutral viewpoint of things from the start a little more firm now...... | ||

About the Lee poaching OGS players behind Spunky's back and the whole confrontation at the house, he absolutely should have lambasted him. | ||

But when you're lambasting someone about something that can seriously affect his reputation, you better be damn sure you got all your facts right and that its not biased in any way. | ||

The core of the problem is still clear. Hes a hypocrite and manipulated his way into "convincing" FD and Tester to switch. The corrections don't have the sensationalistic or the James Bond effect but boils down to the same message. I didn't really take the camera thing too seriously (neither did the bulk of the community members following the situation.) My problem with Lee also goes beyond this isolated situation. Its the sum of all parts that I'm looking at - this is but an another incident on his damaged resume. | ||

I don't nessecarily agree with what Lee did but I can't say that he did anything legally or ethically wrong. OGS had an "open" house and no player contracts from my take. So he just took advantage of the oppurtunity as did the players. No blame should fall squarely on his shoulders as ultimately the players decided to join TSL, no one forced them. | ||
