It's leaked information that MAY contain information that allies and enemies alike of GS could be very much interested in. It's done with malice, but pretty much all information leaks and the like are.

Kids, this is what happens when an internet community allows kids to be their representatives.......elitist, twisted leadership leading to in-game hassles for all.
It depends how you look at it...that's one way, and here's another way (note: Devil's Advocate is the only language I speak past midnight)
The only real issue here is that Goonfleet/GoonWaffe were operating in one way (directors/ceo making joint decisions) while Remedial wanted it another (dictatorship, act now talk later, directors help him achieve his goals for the corp/alliance). Either one of these can be made to work, but you kind of need to choose one over the other, otherwise they clash and lead to stupidity like everyone has seen in that forum leak.
Of course it wasnt helped by the fact that there was obviously plenty of bad blood before it all came to a head, and there will be people leaving over it, it won't seriously impact Goonfleet much, mainly because of Remedial's "grab the devil by the horns" style of leadership. There's a large core of people that would easily follow anything he asked.
So yeah, there's some kicks to be had out of reading it, and its sucked for a lot of people that got unfairly trampled by it all, but its certainly not definite death or anything for Goonfleet either (but by that token, its not guaranteed to all magically work out either).

Anything less than a battle to the death is just a skirmish. Only time will tell if the goonies have ****ed off D2 enough to turn their little tiff into a real war
Conquerable space is being exchanged and capital ships are being killed. What else would it take to be come a real war?

This boys and girls is called a mistake. Making fun of dead players who ran the first eve killboard and was so respected that his mates named a station in his honour is a bad move.
In case this hasn't become bleedingly obvious yet, "Goons" and "Class" don't go together. They never have gone together, they never will go together, and you know what? They don't want it to go together. If anything, watching everyone flip their lid over it will make them that much more inclined to joke about it in the future.
Whether it's concentrated hilarity or a total affront to your sensibilities really doesn't matter a whole lot, since they generally aren't going to try to please anyone but themselves with that sort of thing.

Whether comments like that should be "allowed" at all is a seperate issue. The main point is that comments like that will have consequences. Do the goons care that they're upsetting and angering an awful lot of people by doing so?
I think the amount of people that Goonfleet's tactics and general behaviour bother to the extent of making tactical alliances impossible is being grossly over-exaggerated. People will be mad, sure, but mad enough to forget all the other important aspects of the game and just declare a never-ending vendetta against them? Not likely (not to mention anyone with skin that thin would probably work terribly with them anyway).
Not saying they don't cheese people off, but I think the much larger majority is comprised of those who can either put aside their anger for strategical/tactical benefit, or those that simply don't care one way or another. Ultimately, they know that (and most everyone else does too). They're organized as hell, generally smack-free, and will fight to death and beyond. That alone will make people want to deal with them.
