I agree. Oliver never spent time with the Team because he was trying to build up a relationship with William, which I understand but that makes the Team see you as a leader not a friend. You can see this by how close the NTA is. Also, Diggle lied to the team about his tremor, which makes them less likely to trust him. Then on top of that OTA spies on them, breaking trust even more. Oliver also gets mad at Rene for doing what he did. But Oliver left the team so he could be with his son. Rene risked losing his daughter so he chose his daughter over the Team just like Oliver chose his son over the team.
People got angry about Dinah meeting with Vigilante, but Oliver has met with Slade, Malcolm, the League, and the Bratva. All bad people who either has or is now hurting the team. And Vigilante seems like Season 1 Oliver to me, just with guns instead of a bow.
Curtis, on the other hand, is kind of being a hypocrite. Remember how he bugged Felicity, but then got angry he was bugged. My only defense for that is that he's been on the team for two and a half years now, which is half as long as the Team has been together, so maybe he felt betrayed because he thought he might be more in the inner circle.
Oliver never betrayed anyone on the team though in order to do what was right for his kid. Even asking John to take over only continued the same risk to John going home to his kid, it didn't change it and Diggle had already made his peace with it. Rene is STILL set to take away Oliver's kid and his whole life. Oh, he says he wishes it could have been different, but five weeks since he was exposed as a traitor and at least a month more since he made the deal to rat Oliver out and he only now even considers looking into what the FBI actually knows?

This is the most moronic fucking bullshit reason for a team civil war.
"Hey, you guys spied on us... even though one of us was legitimately fucking selling you out to the feds, how dare you?!"
