Intergalactic Summit

I find your unwillingness to place the final decision in God's hands to be upsetting and offensive to my misunderstanding of the Amarr culture. Therefore I must request that you commit ritual suicide until such time as I decide my position can't be defended, so I was clearly talking to someone else, and why are you looking at me like that?

That's why my thinking's getting fuzzy.

What part of abusive says you get a choice? :)

This seems to imply that you manually aim your ships turrets. That's talent...

So what exactly compelled you to contribute nothing to this discussion days after it was considered relevant and waste so much of this precious energy you care so much about? You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

People keep calling me hostile when I respond to them with the same condescending tone they use to address people who do not agree with them. Most curious. Well, its not really that curious, but you get the idea.

Fine, want to hear some words with actual hostile intent behind them? From where I'm standing the whole topic has been nothing but a sad circlejerk where Villore Assembly and their sympathisers pat eachothers on the back for making a completely pointless resolution - which many of them and you yourself have now acknowledged, that they have no actual power on the matter at all themselves. Then when someone dared to point this out, there come the complaints that "you are being too pedantic, what are just a few words, we meant good," blah blah.

If these people had just owned up to the fact that they made a mistake, that would have been the end of it.

Instead, when Pilot Onzo raised a legitimate concern over the wording of the resolution, signees and affiliates of the Assembly just decided to brush it away as being too pedantic and by the book. When I offered my support to his views I was likewise being scolded off for daring to say anything. At this point, we both had remained completely civil.

However right after this, then, Assembly spokesperson and their affiliates, start getting really angry about being questioned, using condescending remarks "laughable", "you forget your places", "well what did you ever do for galactic peace" etc. Its all right there, go back and read it.
This was about the point where I lost my patience and appreciation for pleasantries as they were likewise not wasted towards me or any of the other people who felt that this resolution had stepped out of its place as well.
Then a certain someone decided to start reading something on the resolution that wasn't even there, and complains how can I not see it, and again, flat out keeps insulting me.

Then one certain uppity Vherokior pilot tries to shame me out of the discussion by appealing to intertribal politics and customs, forgetting that since I am a capsuleer, they affect me as much as I allow them to affect me. By the way, my clan has not disowned me yet, altough I frankly doubt they or other baseliners actually care about capsuleer quarrels enough to do so. Last I heard their businesses continue as usual. This is about the point where I shedded any last remnants of trying to appear polite, as evident in my response to him.

Then there is you, last in a long line who comes to complain about people complaining. You could have just left your note about drifter operations and leave, but no, you just had to take one last dig when things had already settled down and nobody really gave a damn anymore.

Sorry not sorry.

I suppose you are right, you had not offended me personally, and I apologize thusly for my harsh reaction.
Surely you understand though, that echoing the same drivel with the same condescending and dismissive tone most other participants in this discussion had done previously, you did not exactly come forth in perfect form yourself.

You know, occasionally I actually like you, Pieter.

Primitive tribal savages.
They can't realize that to watch through gun targetting reticle all you need to do is to place camera along the gun barrel and connect it to ship interface, that is eventually accessible through capsule interface. And that's why you don't hire minmatar engineers. And probably that's the reason minmatar ships have largest crews among ships of other nations. Minmatar engineers are so damn unimaginative!

And instead of finding technological solution they discuss possibility of manual labor...
