At this moment, I'm going to speak for myself and not for my alliance. Spoony and Maud' Dib, your indignation though while passionate as most Galnet posts, it is also unnecessary and ridiculous. Your ignorance of your own alliance further supports my point, and your "spin" on the situation whether intentional or not, doesn't detract from the failure of ISS to take responsibilty for it's actions.

Leffe, to address your polite inquiry, ISS is a large organization that is currently unable to take into account the actions of all of it's members. Stated by one of your own members, "certain individuals can make life hard for the rest of [you]". These individuals become members of ISS since it allows them to be the proverbial "fly on the wall". In addition to declaring friendly relations in their bio with hostile alliances (that love to gank haulers!), this poses as a direct threat to the well being of our pilots. Though in the defense of ISS, I know this problem is being worked on and people and corporations are being "weeded out".

Now this bring us to the matter at hand. What do you think it would take for an alliance of 1865 members to investigate it's own members, change it's recruitment policies, and make restitution for losses incurred due to their pilots? I know, nothing. There would be the loss of revenue by diverting resources to investigation, the ISK loss would be staggering if they were to make restitution, and a change in policy might mean more work and resources lost.

I know ISS is trying to change all of that, I don't know of any corporation or alliance that is willing to concede that. But what I want to know is, "how much are they wanting to change"? We have much more important people to be shooting, but this is a matter that needs to be attended to on our home turf. We're not actively looking for ISS, but they are certainly not welcome in Pure Blind anymore. At least not until some major changes have been made. The question is, does ISS even really care and will it just be "back to business as usual"?

Leffe, I don't recall if MC Cubed was part of ISS last year, but if it was, you know what I'm talking about.
