I agree, although you think you may know what happened, you probably have no idea, I have helped in countless 1k guilds and received a hat before, your friend was probably an inactive member, he caused trouble, was disruptive or spammed, whatever the reason is the leader has a right to do what he wasn't with the hat, and towering isn't all about the hat, remember Dark Anbu, they got so close to 1k, and then were reset, but they made there way back up, with the loyal members who weren't just in it for the hat. Maybe you should think more before you post something so pathetic.
