EVE General Discussion

Days before I had a CCP Fanfest speech to give, I got drunk and accidently my powerpoint, then I got drunk on the day and presented the powerpoint, lots of laughs were had by all cept the dude I insulted.

I don't remember any of it.

I'm really sorry - which is why I premeditated it and did it.

NO! ITS STAYING RIGHT HERE!

I think the powerpoint was indeed cleared and prepaired and would be a legitimate/uncontroversial piece.

I highly doubt he had planned on saying what he did. He probably just planned on using it as yet another example of space tears. Which would have been fine.

But hey, at least you got him outta the CSM. All it cost was a suicidal guy's private life being smeared across the public stage. A good trade off i guess huh? Served the moral good, right?

I was the King of Space until I took a few Jager Bombs to the Brain and had to Wis.

So your saying we'd be better serving the moral wellbeing of humanity by leaving these kinds of complete fucktards in these minor positions of power so they can ego on some more to the point of total degredation of other people?

THAT would serve the moral good?

It doesn't make it any better.

How many of them stood up on a live broadcast panel to thousands of people and did it?

This is just a blatant act of the immature nature we have all known - but couldn't prove - was underlying his ridiculous mob mentality image.

Everyone likes to have fun in-game. Just some people are sociopaths at heart I guess - at least now we know.

so he was *drunk-as-***** but remembered the name of the miner? ok, could be because of his name and mittens wizard hat, but still... meh.

heh, people tell people to kill themselves all the time. The difference is, we don't do so KNOWING that person already has some amount of trauma in their lives to the point where it has impacted their ability to cope, AND THEN throw the proverbial shitcan at them in public.

The problem people have with Alex, and the rest of the goons is actually very simple although you pass it off as in-game rhetoric.

It's the simple fact that many people have been around the world for a while, and experience tells many of us what someone with a predatory personality is like.

People don't like this kind of behavior in general, but when it reaches the point where some dude is standing in front of the world inflicting this kind of malice at someone for LAUGHS - then it's gone way too far.

CCP should be doing something about it.

It is as simple as that, you can troll this forum all you want. This isn't a CAOD post about "your alliance sucks".

Neo-Nazi's in the USA are allowed to spew their hatered all day/night. Millions of Black and Jewish families have had family members who were murdered, beaten, or otherwise victemised by racist assholes.

Yet, we protect the right of them to say their garbage.

Why? Because its important that people be allowed to say -anything- they want. Its also important for people to be mature enough to ignore the bullshit they might hear. You cant punish people for saying things that are against the public/common 'morality'.

If you were living in Nazi Germany for example, should you not be allowed to speak out against Hitler? As a fundamental rule, people should be allowed to say absolutely anything they want. Morality is purely subjective. It is wrong to punish someone for his beliefs or words, no matter what they are.

If you disagree with what he's saying, you're free to say that. But you should not be allowed to punish him for it. If we started punishing every idiot, we'd only have about 5% of the population free
