EVE General Discussion

I do not think you know what those words you used mean!

Then again, you liked I post I made of a much earlier topic where I said your thread was a "pretty entertaining troll" so maybe you're just messing with us again?

And then you leave out that those "details" were his name and that he has a corp in EVE. Stop the presses, what a scoop.

There's also that. We've got CCP handing out handles of jack to every second guest and all the panelists and we get shocked when someone says something off the cuff that turned out to be bad. While not representing the CSM, mind you, but representing the goons.

The behavior wasn't ok - that's why he apologized. However, you seem to be trying to build some kind of legal case and that's just not going to fly. Cyber bullying laws just do not work that way - the only way anyone's been convicted of anything has been through literal hacking of someone else's Facebook account. And even that got overturned.

Oh, what he said was wrong sure. I probably would have said the same damn thing if I were in his shoes and drunk like he was.

Sure, I blame CCP because they are ultimately responsible for it, because the panel happened on their property and in their building. They didn't do the responsible thing here, and they should be rightfully blamed. Mittani is to blame, we all pretty much know this, but those calling for him to step down from CSM are just plain morons and those are the people we are focusing on, because they have no idea what they are talking about.

CSM has nothing to do with this. Mittens is a public voice, sure, but so is mine, and so is yours Kara, does that mean whatever stupid thing you post should have you fired from your job? I think not, because your posts in Eve have nothing to do with your job. The same can be said about MIttens and the CSM.

A good and the only acceptable move.

Still I think you should resign as space politician. This is where real life connects with Eve Online.

I agree, CCP share some of the responsibility.

I guess they wanted to capture the mood of the Fanfest, which they did but at a high cost.

Personally, yeah, I find the idea that somebody is so attached to their space pixels that they would write a message threatening suicide over them rather amusing in a "this guy can't really be serious" way. You might be shocked, but your morals are not the morals of those around you and (shock incoming) they aren't superior to those of others simply because they're yours. Mittens presented it to the general public to also consider the sorts of tear laden mails that we get all the time. This one was exceptionally noteworthy so it got notice in the presentation. If this causes you some sort of personal harm, when it doesn't do a thing to the guy who wrote the damn thing, I think you might have too much time on your hands. I know I don't have that sort of time to burn worrying about what somebody else (who clearly doesn't give a ****) could have thought about something they don't care about.

This situation had nothing to do with CSM, therefore, nothing should happen to Mittens in that regard. Had Mittani said this at a meeting of the CSM, then yes I would think he should resign, but that is not the case.

Here is an example:

Lets say you get drunk, state to a friend who then posts this online, that your job sucks and you hate it. Your boss sees it, then fires you because of it. Would you not be irate and not want to be fired because of it? Of course. You'd argue they used your personal life against you, firing you and it had nothing to do with your actual job performance.

I'm wondering if the amount of bad posting and mad in this thread can condense into a singularity and suck the whole internets into the crap storm in a tea cup that this 'issue' has turned into....
