I am essentially a newbie and all that and I have relatively little interest in what happened between Chuck and SteelPenn in the past, but I can say this; Since I have been a member of TSP, SteelPenn, has done nothing but help me and foster my growth as a player and business owner. He has been above board and anything but deceitful. My relationship with TSP, and SteelPenn in particular, has increased my enjoyment of the game and interest in continuing play in general.
I don't think anyone willing to give up leadership of the alliance they have put so much effort into can be all that self motivated.
