EVE General Discussion

Lol cyber-bullying. Just the fact that this term exists proves what farking whiners people have all become. The greatest irony is that people use "cyber bullying" to try to manipulate (or bully) people into modifying their behavior through falsely attributing guilt. You know what? If you can't handle the internet there is a real simple solution. Some people can't handle their liquor either, and others try to use that as an excuse to ban alcohol entirely. That type of thinking is ridiculous and belongs back in the middle-ages. Help the people who need help and who respond to help, and leave the rest of us alone. Stop trying to impose arbitrary and unenforcable "regulations" and better still, "morals" on everyone else. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. And boy have we had a lot of those lately.

^ there's the line

One can never go wrong with being a class act. Those with class do not need to concern themselves with the line.

Sorry, where?

In the UK, "cyber-bullying" typically refers to the tactic of infiltrating another's Facebook (and/or other social media pages) and leaving offensive/threatening comments/pictures/video clips. Usually this behaviour is coupled with spreading lies about said person via the bully's own social media pages. The important thing to note is that everyone knows who the target is, as it is their real life persona being assassinated, and the pattern of abuse is sustained. Finally, the person being harassed in this way has to be angry enough about it for him/herself (or their legal guardians) to press charges and demonstrate to a judge that they suffered genuine harm.

Compare that to this "controversy", where an anonymous Internet space persona (his/her real life identity is still unknown) claimed in an Internet space communication that he/she was suicidal about having their Internet space pixels blown up. Said space persona was then roundly mocked by an inebriated larping person on a live Internet video feed. After the larping one sobered up, he realised the error of his ways and apologised in public, and gave all his space kredits to the "victim" by way of compensation. The space victim him/herself was basically "meh" about it, despite the encouragement of a segment of the playerbase with an axe to grind.

Of course, they're exactly the same why am I seriousposting? Death to the Mittani and death to Goonswarm

Who gives a f*ck?

I think I typoed... I was meaning surely you need something less subjective than "class" - however you define it (although I get what you mean - you know class when you see it).

First, thank you for "seriousposting". Doesn't it feel good to step out of character every now and again to let everyone know that you're not actually an antisocial f**kface?

Second, it doesn't matter if the victim turned out to actually be someone's alt who was just screwing with Alex. Your Glorious Leader had no way of knowing whether he/she was "serious" or not, and so his actions were supremely irresponsible

Third, do yourself a favour and stop with the "he was drunk, haven't you ever done anything stupid when drunk?" line. People who get drunk and then hurt other people are typically punished more harshly than otherwise. That's why you don't get into a car drunk, and that's why you don't go on live f*cking broadcasts drunk

Finally, you're right in mocking the word "controversy" in this case, cause it's not in any way a controversy. Everyone knows he done did a stupid thing

Delete facebook profile.

Stop playing games that you can adjust.

Problem solved.

Ah, typos are hell, no biggie. And yes, class speaks for it self, just like good art. No one needs to tell you it is good art, you just know it.
