In his defense, he has a point. People are biased. Everyone. As much as you can deny it or wish it doesn't exist, being unconciously biased happens. I don't think 1075Guy is saying he conciously decided to help out 1114 and the red alliance. Learning that he was once on 188, maybe he even overcompensated his bias. I'm not saying I agree with 1075Guy's decision to accuse someone on a public forum without knowing all the facts, though.
Anyway, congrats to the winners and 1114 for the RCA.
EDIT: Just to clarify my post, I wasn't at the event nor do I know who any of the refs or other volunteers were. Just so people don't misunderstand my post, I'm not saying the refs were biased or not, just pointing out that people, in general, are biased.
