The immediate need to pull on hypotheticals that have not and likely will not happen to justify your argument doesn't bode well. Traditionally irony doesn't depend upon something that "you [we] would 100% be claiming".
literally anyone who has spent a considerable amount of time in GP knows that what I said is true, but if you want an example, how about the time two random hawks (who weren't even on the council of hawks, unlike queb who very much is in leadership positions in the league) voted on an RMB in TSP and suddenly everyone acts like TBH as an organization tried to coup TSP?

Please, elaborate as to how we "tend to respond to these things" with preferably some form of idk, evidence or justification.
please go read the malice thread around the time BoM raided epsa and TNP's jump points, I think it's pretty hard to argue yall weren't trying to tie those actions to raiderdom as a whole.

Even if you assume your bogus argument is true, that we would react in that way if for example someone created a region called TL Delenda Est, that still wouldn't justify you in doing the same. If TL government claims oranges are actually purple that doesn't mean that the OFO is justified in claiming the Eiffel Tower is pink, its a nonsensical argument.
show me where exactly I tried to say we would be justified in posting a manifesto like that. You can't, cause that's not what I was saying, I was pointing out how shit the argument of "uh, actually, this person who is very much the face of the league saying he wants osiris to be coup'd doesn't represent the league as a whole" (tho anyone who thinks about that argument for more than 10 seconds should be able to realize the problem with that, so this level of diving into it shouldn't really be necessary. yet here I am, so I suppose the jokes on me)
