The fact is that the Northeast Assembly got along just fine until Winfield reared his ugly head in it once again. Ever since, it's been nothing but a back-and-forth of sass, ad hominem attacks and little insults from him whenever he doesn't get his way on legislation or whenever he disagrees with prior-passed legislation. This is a good summary of Winfield's Assembly history:
Well you're a crappy person.
If you disagree with me then you're a terrible person.
I know you are but what am I?
Magically, the Assembly didn't have this much vitriol and tension beforehand, even when the ideological composition was divided. Barnes basically left because he was tired of all the bullsh!t that Winfield had been injecting into all of the debate with his "insight". Not only does he start a lot of this sh!t, but then he doesn't have thick enough skin to handle the spankings he gets like a man.
