I have played Ed and his clan mates on servers before..I do not
remember which however. He and his clanies are very good and very
sporting...allways offering the "Nice Shot" and "Thanks". They Usually
hit the fraglimit when they play and never say a bad thing to anyone.
He is a respectable player and a nice guy. He posts a question and it
turns into a witch  hunt. That is BS.Sure it would have been nice if
he had a demo to post and perhaps he should be able to tell a bot if
he saw one, but he did nothing wrong. I think his reasons for teamplay
are valid. If I saw other clans teaming up on a FFA server I would
copy a skin to theirs so I could use it and then and have a merry old
time fraggin them hehe or if I had clan members there I think it would
be fun to copy their skin so I could see them and go just for them I
see nothing wrong with that. The smack talking is vague it depends on
the circumstance. I have been on servers with clanmates where a player
was being totally out of line and we put the smack down on him and he
left. I see nothing wrong in that. I do not think he has posted any
rubbish. I have seen far more "Rubbish" posted by other folks that
merrited far more response than this, but got none. Hell I have posted
far more rubbish than anyone I know. However he is new so he gets the
cold shoulder. He coulda had some good things to post, but I suppose
that will never happen after the way he was treated.
