RFP| being disbanded like that? Wow...just wow.
Well, as a former leader of said faction it saddens me to see this happen. When RFP| lost its officialdom some time ago,I had hopes that with those new guys around the Polizei could continue. I know, police factions were never easy going as being the minor brother of the military factions.With these news I now have nostalgia about my "good old times" when Bommel was around (yeah I know, some older vets will groan with pain now)
Not sure if I got the whole reason behind the disbandment right, so perhaps one of you older vets can explain it to me - best via PM, I don`t want to be responsible for starting another flame war.

POB drama, trolling and ganking from the people who blew up their POB(s) during and after the fact, then getting warned by GMs instead of the trolls, with a warning post that was very insulting/threatening and thereby sounded personally biased. Then more trolling and gloating when they said they would leave.
I'd say 70% of people who go through something like that would do the same or something similar to get back at the community that treated that way (including those who are acting all holier than thou now).

Someone killed pixel bases and won a fight. That's truly horrific.
How could people stand for something like this?

You can probably add "refusal of the other side to have an honest conversation" to the list.

What do you mean? Did they say "stop PMing me" or something?
No they pretend it's just pixels and that there aren't people at the other end of the line.
Have you forgotten the "Stop the siege or we will report you" from Rheinland players who put POB and slapped Kishiro IFF after it was declared to be illegal base in GMG space?
Oh, then maybe people on the other side of the line who's feelings get hurt by pixel lasers should grow up or change their attitude towards videogames in general if they are adults.
Quitting and disbanding everything over 2-3 lost fights and a simple warning that is not implying any punishment is a bit infantile behavior for my liking. So I could not take it as anything serious, and I still can't to be honest.

It's possible to deal with that without making the warning post an insulting personal smear, trolling, mobbing them off the server, or tolerating any or all of it.

This game is PG13, so immature behavior is to be expected. I wouldn't exactly call your and other people's behavior mature either. Mature people have a sense of responsibility and care, even for, or especially for, immature people.
