They claim everything else without evidence, why would David-Me's meltdown be much different?

The problem is that they would then be able to provide actual evidence for their claims. And us pointing out that David was a useless nitwit and good-for-nothing would not have made any difference.

They are at best misguided, at worst they are reprobates who got a taste of power and decided it elevated them above the others.

Both are true. They are misguided, and they have the arrogance that they have the moral right to foist their misguidedness on the entire sub.

You say it's the height of folly to consider them the enemy. I say it's the height of folly to allow those who have already betrayed you once to guard your flank.

Not considering people your enemy is not the same as trusting them blindly. And there's a difference between the individuals on how much I trust them, and on what issues.

And hey, remember how they considered KiA2 posters to be 'brigaders?' I believe a certain BananaDyne got banned from KiA Prime just for posting on KiA2. "Totalitarians aren't generally known for their finesse."

Precisely.
