That one in particular. Out of context does look pretty bad but if you read above and below it makes sense and doesn't look bad.
He's going back to scott with the fact that the posts he quoted were from march 5th and 6th mostly and yet I was not disqualified at the time. We'll see where this goes.
Wrathed are you a lawyer? no? well then shut the **** up seriously. You've been busting my balls since the very beginning of this thread so what ever you say really has no weight.

I don't remember anything in the rules that said that you personally had to thwart any cheating (an impossible task). Their anti cheating steps removed many votes of yours that were valid so they are just as "guilty" as you.
Unless they can prove that cheating occurred and that it came from an actual TW member(s) and that the subsequent loss of votes from said cheater(s) put you in second place, you won. Being an internet vote, you have absolutely no control over the actions of others voting for you. It would be way too easy to sabotage the votes for another team...something TW could have easily done. The fact that this didn't happen just proves that although TW talked ****, it played fair. They should have been equipped to handle an event such as this.
Their reasoning that you weren't "stern" enough about cheating is just another excuse to throw the investigation off track from the fact that they really don't have any evidence to the alleged cheating.
Someone from TW should go to the 2nd place couple's forums and post how they paid a botnet operator $1000 to fix the contest. By their reasoning, they would be forced to DQ the 2nd place team too.
