Well, Xhairs, you and I are in agreement on most of what you say. I too do not think that we Clanners should blame Omni-Tek for the actions of our predecesors. However, I'm not hearing a lot of sentiments to the effect of what you said. In effect, it was wrong for the old Omni-Tek administration to do what they did, but you have lots of people in your organization that would like to see Clan territory reduced to a big pile of rubble. No, there isn't a lot of apologetic commentary coming from Omni-Tek's screed machines. So, I wish you all thought that way (you in particular sound honorable) but very few of your faction say what you say.
You can make that comparison to the current attempted comparison of Clan organizations to the Dust Brigade (or the Sentinels for that matter). Oh, it's OK for certain people to make scurrilious accusations about Clan that way, but when I can, accurately, by their own quotes, say that you have people in your faction that still wish to destroy us all in Clan, you can say that "oh, it's just nutcases like Seventshadow or complete Omni propaganda spin doctors like Marisha". I wish I could say different, but the arguement doesn't fly as well as I think you had hoped.
When I hear people in your faction say "Oh, let's just frosh the entire northern hemisphere with nuclear weapons" or "well, I'm just glad that the operation came under budget" after a very vicious attack on non-threatening Clan (and Neutral and Omni fighters) during the vehicle crash in Mort, it's not giving me warm fuzzies that most Omni-Tek employees regret what has happened in the past or currently. Apparently, some Omni cannot (or do not care to) see how this might make Clanners a bit su****ious that the attitude of the average Omni-Tek employee towards Clanners probably hasn't changed much since those days.
The same attitude permeates this discussion. Where is it written that Omni-Tek is immune from any sort of criticism regarding it's past and how it currently operates, while you can disparage Clan for having "alleged ties with a terrorist organization" and make it sound like it's fact. Well, it's not. It is unsubstantiated vitriolic drivel and it's beneath most people other than the incorrugable Omni-Tek apologist. The kind of people that cannot see that their side can possibly do any wrong whatsoever. I can with my side, how is it so hard for those of you that think that way? That I do not understand at all.
