EVE General Discussion

Is it because he chooses to have an easily correctible afflication?

Many of my closest friends are gay. Are we still stuck in the past where we even use gay as an adjective or noun when it doesn't need to be? The same can be said of race.

For example, cop asks you what the robber looked like. You say, "I don't know, just some guy." This type of description usually means heterosexual and of your own race. Give a different description, and you think you are being helpful by noticing how he is different. I want everyone to think about how they use race, religion, and sexual orientation in their everyday language usage. If you are honest with yourself, it might be eye opening.

*edit* too lazy to edit down quotes, this is not meant to talk at ramona as much as agree, while responding to prior quote.

Really? We're standing under the "what could have happened" banner?

I think we should remove permanent ship loss. After all, such events are emotionally distressing and you never know what might happen if a person gets upset. The potential harm that could be caused is the main issue. They'd be vicariously liable!

Totally ridiculous! There is a thing called personal responsibility and frankly I'm worried so few people think it applies to them. Nothing we do in this game can have a bearing on real life events, with the exceptions being directly goading others into doing something irreversible and destructive. CCP already have and do enforce rules on this matter.

I remember a thread in C&P about a different bonus room a few months ago. It is not as if this is only discussed because of that CSM blog.

It's being discussed cause sufficient people feel it worthy to be.

And to call that all just "a witchhunt by a silly mob with pitchforks that was rabble-roused" is just as shortsighted as "oh, noes ban the pedophile-torturer-scum".

This "respect for differing opinions" can also be seen in political discussions in many a country where side A tries to disqualify all arguments from side B from the start, as side's A opinion must be idiotic anyway, just because its from that side.

I doubt that this is what leads to constructive solutions of things that a part of society/community think is a problem.

I give my permission for you to post our private chat logs on your blog. I have my own copy. Question: who paid you, or what is your motivation to do a complete 180 on your opinion of me and the bonus rounds?

Not until we reach 400 pages.

Sure, Sokhar is only another individual, but his opinion matters at least as much as yours or mine--and his has the weight of experience. Listen to what he's saying. His perspective on what happened is much more mature and measured than those you will find from the demagogues in this thread. He emphasized that it was his character being embarrassed. This man recognizes that Eve is a game. "I got scammed; I got angry; I got over it. Why can't everyone else?" (quoted from the twitch stream). It's not merely the fact that Sokhar and E1 reconciled, it's Sokhar's perspective that should give you pause.

I also think Ripard is a good guy, and I like his blog . As he says somewhere on his blog's comments, [people] of good faith can disagree. And I disagree with his vision of what Eve is. Both of us recognize that Eve's universe has a god (we all pay our tithes dutifully with PLEX), but Ripard is a theist. Perhaps, with enough praying and blogging and forum postings, CCP will appear and enforce his (and many of those in this thread's) standard of morality. I'm a deist. Thank you, CCP, for making the sand, but stay out of the box.

You didnt answer? :( if you dont know the words I can type them out for you: "Tinky winky, dipsy, Ripard Treg, pooah. teletubbies, teletubies...say..eh..oh EHO OHHH"]

The amount of votes for 3 is the most telling.

I nearly choked on my vitriol and ashes flavour cereal
