Stopping the Blitz

1) We approached leadership telling them of our desire to run our own tournament team outside of the clan, managed by us, but wanted to stay connected with IR and help them in any way during CWs because we had made a number of friends in IR.
you wanted to be part of IR, but on your own.  You did the right thing by leaving and starting your own clan. That scenerio would never have worked.  How do you think the other members of IR would have felt with something like that going on?  If you wanted to do things the right way, it should have been leave the clan start your own clan and make an alliance.  Every member of a clan wants to feel they are an equal member and are useful and needed.  What you proposed would have alienated everyone else. It is obvious you did not care about how the other members felt.  There is always someone better and someone worse in every clan.  What makes a clan better is every member helping and sharing their knowledge and skills to improve every member and make the clan better.  You did not feel that way.  I could care less about who yelled at who and whatever.  It all boils down to the thing you put down as number one.  You are better at me in this game, but atleast I try and help whoever I can in the clan however I can.  Not by being an "elite" squad, but by teaching and gaming with them.  Sounds pretty selfish to me.  If I have it wrong I apologize, I can only go by what you posted.
btw, I work full time, have a family and I game for fun.
