That's not only not what I said, but it is also bafflingly strange that you jumped to that from what was said. The outsiders are those who are not involved looking in at this thread. They see you make claims which are demonstrably false, and then this harms your opposition politically.
Jumping to conclusions? Like what you did when you found out a small handful of Havenites who no longer are in Haven participated in a single gameplay action? You automatically assumed it was a region-wide activity thus making them perfect targets for raider vandalism?
The opposition to this proposal initially categorically denied that Haven had any connection to TSP. Then the embassy was pointed out and they denied completely that anyone from the region was involved. Then it was shown that one was and they said only the one. Then a native admitted more involvement, and this cycle has just continued. People who weren't there making claims on things that they simply don't know about, and then on discovering that they are demonstrably wrong they jump to the next defensive line in the argument. The opposition has moved so far so quickly away from where they started that it is amazing.
