you're exaggerating the dude's point to make your own seem more valid.
which is funny because the "applying for a job" thing works very appropriately for much of the game in a group-setting context.

Looking to join a static? K, cool.
"Where are your logs?"
"I have them hidden"
From this point, the static lead is entirely entitled to either pursue the issue, asking you why you have your logs hidden; and/or up to and including saying "we're gonna keep looking, thanks for trying." That's their right to do, and how anyone feels in this matter isn't relevant.
Or, they can give you a chance and see how things play out. From there, they'll decide whether you're worth keeping around, or getting rid of you and continuing to find people more suited to what their goals are.

In this case, the person being denied the group could complain "but I wanted to raid!" Good for you, you're entitled to do whatever you wish. But you're not entitled to have other people conform to your wants.
Just as much as that group leader is responsible for making decisions that best benefit the group.

FFLogs isn't toxic. It isn't inherently bad; it's a tool. Tools by themselves are not dangerous, but when a toxic person uses a tool in a toxic way, it's still the person that's at fault, not the tool.
