Both Keston and Airenn were among the Sky event leaders in our LS. (In other words, they helped coordinate which mobs we fought, how we fought them, and which people went to which mob, among other things.) One day during a Sky run, I found out that Keston had blacklisted Air because of what happened at Onzozo with Ose. Several of us tried to get him to take her off of the blist, and I believe the reasons should be obvious; leaders not speaking to each other is a recipe for disaster in terms of trying to get anything done. But he stubbornly refused to, even though Airenn was willing to apologize (and, as I later learned, attempted to do so through mules) in order to resolve this problem so the LS wouldn't be burdened. It was really stupid to be forced to relay Air's messages in linkshell chat when all he had to do was tolerate and attempt to have a "business relationship" with her in order for everything to run smoothly. I think it's telling that he was willing to undermine the linkshell just to satisfy some personal vendetta he had against a person, or because of pride or whatnot. He was being far too inflexible and unwilling to compromise, which I believe are key traits that any leader (heck, any decent player) of the game should have, or strive to have.
I can't speak to the other charges against Keston, because I've honestly forgotten most of the stuff that happened in the LS a few years ago... however, I still clearly remember this incident, even years later.
