This is probably the major thing I disagree with. It may have been a good idea to simply talk things out with Viper rather than immediately cut off SSH/Admin from him, but at the same time, he did seem to be trying to replace the DS TF2 server. I don't think DS was paranoid, just a bit rash at the most. This is also coming from someone who heard much more of Ryu/DS's side, but I also know that DS isn't the type to just be totally unreasonable. At the very least, it's been grossly oversimplified by both sides, who gathered so much animosity toward one another that there was never a real conversation about it.
I also understand why admin behavior on TF2 was pretty infamous to the MC players, but there's also a fundamental difference between the two games. In MC, admin abuse could lead to lost items that took hours to collect/make, or destruction of buildings that people invested weeks into. In TF2, though, nothing was really lost if an admin killed in buddha, slayed, etc. I think it certainly got out of hand at several points, and response to these abuses were pretty often delayed and a bit forgiving, but I don't agree with the amount of hatred it seems to get from the majority of the former MC players.
