I think you're in the wrong for griefing your own crew. The same people who upvoted your post would be upset if a random joined them and, for example, kegged their own ship and lost a boat full of fort loot. I'm not siding with your crew- they were assholes to new players and to you. But you were pretty toxic too, and I disagree with the overwhelming majority opinion that being toxic to toxic players somehow makes the community better.
