Even in Fid's parent analogy, you can't hold the kid responsible if they got permission from parents who weren't on the same page.
TL;DR, you tried to come back suddenly after a 8 month absence and run things like the king of Vana'diel. Gov and I didn't appreciate it, so here's what we were told after 8 months of leadership:

Now that's quality leadership right there.
You should be a legend on this server Deadwing. All the content you've provided has led to countless hours of enjoyment by so many people over the years. It's too bad your vision for a server-wide LS coming together to kill AV with mercenaries didn't work out. We disagreed with that and how you handled leadership, and we left. Hope you're happy with how things worked out, because we definitely are.
Let's take that screenshot and put it in its proper context shall we?
Late December 2016 Alpha's subsidiary linkshell Skydive (lead by Epyon) texted me asking to kill a Fafnir that had been up several hours. I was with my family for the holidays, as many were, and didn't see a problem with it.
Fid and Gov saw a major problem with it and wanted to kick Epyon. I told them that I had approved the kill and that if they disagreed with that decision they should have a problem with me, not Epyon. At the end of the conversation they agreed not to kick him. Three days later they kicked him. I re-pearled him, and cue the conversation from the screenshot.
I stood up for Epyon as I would have stood up for any member of my shell in that situation. "My way or the highway" is the only reasonable response to leaders who behave that irresponsibly; and I'm happy to make that the hill I die on as an LS leader.
The way the quoted post frames the situation is exactly the sort of narrative control/slander Fid and Gov are so good at. Much more to come this Halloween
