VeyderYeah let's be civil... I can assure you we are far from malicious.
Now this thing with Big Pappa and the Paladins... Could things have been handled much better? Absolutely...
Basically from my point of view we have two groups who have obvious distrust for each other. Big Pappa when you screwed us back in the day I never ever retaliated, I saw no benefit in fighting.
I only asked that you leave us alone.
When you guys first started out and found out the hard way not to base yourselves in a popular imperial slave trade route without forethought and resorted to trying to stop peaceful traders from taking advantage of routes that existed before your faction. We did not involve ourselves in the fallout.
When Lion Freeman left and immediately joined PalCon and suddenly we lost our headquarters I didn't suspect your group nor did I pursue trying to see if you were involved.
Even after he sent me a PM gloating over our loss (freaking amateur).
When you got caught spying on the community we did not involve ourselves in any action against you.
We have never taken any action against you prior to this week.
I have never issued a KOS on PalCon prior to this week.
We were not undermining you...
Anytime any member of my group did something out of line I corrected it and worked to assure it didn't happen again. I sent you evidence of that.
Can you tell me one time my guys did something to undermine or sabotage your group prior to this week that I didn't take care of when it was brought to my attention? Can you tell me one time where I have lied or deceived you?

You forgot the one reason why BP had to leave GS (Ghost Squadron, as how we were known in the beginning).
Attempting to recruit CMDRs from inside the Wing to form a Special Unit, Taskforce or whatever you want to call it. To have people under him that would do his bidding and follow his commands.
One of them being to test the loyalty of the other Wing members and ascertain that they wouldn't fall out of line or have any malicious intend.
Some might call this cautious, I call this spying on others.
And in the light of the PalCon spybot reveleation it seems that no lessons were learned at all regarding this topic.
Which makes BP and Lion Freeman brothers in arms, because he tried to do the same.
At any rate, the dice have been cast, and it'll take more then a few humbled words to end what has been started.
Again, it wasn't our desire to have this whole thing blow out of proportion as it did. But ignorance and paranoia are seldom a good pairing when it comes to try to avoid conflicts.
The only regret that I have is that everyone will feel it's impact, regardless if actively participating or just trying to truck along. Certainly not fair, but it is as it is.

I like custard creams by the way.
