Why are the major fleets fighting each other and not the despised Goons in one happy family venture?
Just a thought that popped up.

I grew up in Alabama during the mid-fifties to mid-sixties (at which point I began drinking coffee and smoking cigs and stunted my growth). Maybe it's easy to toss that word around, or minimize the significance of it, as though it should be grouped with obscenities. But, when you've been the victim of lynchings, bombings, having police dogs set on you, continual humiliation, degredation and deprivation, it's kinda hard to just shrink the word the opressors used as they did these things to you, "Die...(insert term)."

Unless you group yourselves with the sort of people who DID these things - low bred, redneck, backy chewin', knuckle-draggin' goons, burning churches, beating 14-year olds to death...you shouldn't be so fast to accept this particular word as just another cuss word and leave it at that. There's a neighborhood near where you all live where if you stood in the middle of the street and shouted that word, you'd be shown to an early grave...or maybe one right on time.

We're now, in South Florida, going through yet another facet of this. If you haven't heard, a 17-year old shot down in the street by a "conscientious" neighborhood watcher. The obviously caucasoid-leaning constabulatory letting the shooter off because the victim wore a hoody. Maybe most of you are too young to remember Watts, Newark and Detroit, but I do. If this sort of ignorance and insensitivity - inconsideration - causes history to repeat itself (once again), I'm not going to be too friendly to anyone here anymore. We have another summer coming up. Why don't we try to make it a NICE one? You'll be glad you did.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

EvE Online is a cut throat gaming environment with evil individuals who will sell your mother to pilot their Tech3. You are getting offended over a derogatory word? Sure, it's widely inappropriate in Real Life, but with many games... There is a pvp solution.

If you don't like getting called names, teach them a lesson. Petitioning to get someone banned is not a legit strategy. It actually goes to show how weak you are.

If your skin isn't thick enough to shrug off such derogatory language, perhaps gaming in general is not for you. You will see this language everywhere. How you react to it is up to you.

Just hunt him down and pod him. Let him swear up and down because of that.

That's the beauty of EvE Online. Anything and Everything goes. The Game is player run. So run it.


This thread is not so much about what he said, but rather the unique response CCP has decided to take when there is no press involved in the incident.


Unique response Lol

They choose not to fan the flames of idiocy, where as you are napalm.

Sticks and stones, Sh*t happens etc etc..... choose not to project that chip on your shoulder.

This is ridiculously juvenile on the part of TEST and the CFC, especially given the horrible things we spam in local with every fight. Not to mention the incredible amounts of pornography we link. So much wonderful pornography. I pretty much can't get it up anymore unless I'm butchering RaidenDOT.

Let the GMs quietly handle this and fade from the forums for the rest of the month. The pubbie filth have the memories of gold fish. By the time they've forgotten about us it will be April 28th.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

This single point, if someone ever thought about fraps'ing it is worth of hundreds of bans per week?

As you can see the quote above yours, seems you shouldn't put all the eggs in the same basket. But yeah, some of them deserve a perma ban for what they can spew on people in local or convo.

This is worth a read for all.
Unfortunately, the vast majority here would rather just post a TL;DR or some other tired old meme.
But, hope springs eternal ... maybe a few may finally "get it."

Nothing clever at this time.
