-Fact; You quit, not much to argue there
However, "early into the transformation" implies, incorrectly, that I bailed as soon as the merger started. I seem to recall doing a large amount of work planning everything out, setting everything up, and helping the whole process go along smoothy. During all of this, the writer of the article was not present. It makes him rather unfit to assert what phase of the transformation the process was in.

-Fact; I doubt anyone would disagree that development was going great, and that I hired !Wan.
Ahahahaha. Underway better than ever AFTER I quit? 80% of the level work on that server right now was done by Zerxus and I long before I quit. Incorrect, biased information aganist me provided by someone who had not been around long enough to make such an insane assertion.

Okay, but he completely fails to mention why hiring me back as management was a negative thing, or would cause him to lose interest in his job. He only states that it happened, and he quit.

Oh? How about the lovely "I see it as he quit when N-Pulse was going through a rough patch, now things are in motion he is coming back!" part? That is obviously an assertion aimed to defame me, and a ridiculously incorrect one at that.

The thing was written from a biased standpoint, meant to defame myself and Moon Goddess. My problem is that Bef simply allows people to use Graal News for their own personal vendettas, instead of attempting to keep it a professional establishment.

It is possible to form an opinion based on more than just one side of the story. The more information you have when stating your opinion, the less biased it will tend to be towards any particular point of view, unless one point of view is clearly false.

In this case, he openly states a false point of view as his opinion, and makes no attempt to even state the possible reasons for the actions of the people he aims to defame.

How about the part where I've done the single largest amount of work for N-Pulse in a notably long time? Or the fact that I had quit the server so people would get used to doing their jobs without depending on me? Or how about the part where nearly all the staff members who had been working with me since I've came here supported my return?

Seems rather incomplete to me.
