sooooo it WASNT broadcast on the internet, and the people he planned to use to get that person to commit suicide WERENT using computers (Some of which wouldnt then be "an ocean away"?

Your argument would be valid were he sitting in a field talking to people not on computers, not streaming across the internet (KNOWING ios being streamed)

You know, Mittens is responsible for the action of every goon. Because people don't have free will and stuff.

This quote is pretty relevant

Also, giving a drunken Mittens too much credit thinking he planned anything.

So, if I record you telling a group of friends that you should go and attack all miners in Didoxie to kill them with my phone in plain sight and upload it to Youtube; I can have you accused of cyberbullying?

Yeah, wasn't suggesting it did. Just pointing out what the laws were.

dunno, CCP doesnt think so lol

All I was pointing out was that the "Mittani isnt at fault cause the Goons had free will and didnt have to choose to do what he said" argument was wrong lol

If it takes 1 sentence to convince you of anything, your brain must not be functioning.

Manson used sex and drugs to control the members of his "family", hardly the same as some drunken douche bag going "lol dis guise name is da WIS, find him."

The answer to that question is both he and Mittens got far more attention than should have been given due to the ridiculous proportion this was blown to.

also true lol

But also, as far as the free will thing goes (I just thought of it) theyre role playing right? And if he's their leader, and he's roleplaying as their leader giving orders (the RP excuse Ive heard a lot lately and for the first time since I started playing the game actually) that kinda gets rid of the free will thing too. Your a soldier following your leader's orders

Fixing something means it was broken. What I wrote was not broken. You are welcome to say something else if that is what you feel, but please do not change something I wrote into something different. That is fundamentally dishonest as you are attributing a statement to me that I did not make.

Hi Ai Shun o/ :)

Let us start with the basics. When someone writes something along the lines of "fixed your post for ya" it is usually with a tongue-in-cheek tone. You see, you wrote that you hope I never have to apologize for making a mistake. And the whole point of my post seemed to have escaped you. As a response I wrote (again, with a tongue-in-cheek tone) that mitten's apology was not sincere. This "fundamental dishonesty" you speak of, well, is fundamentally non-existent. If you still don't understand the concept feel free to let me know and I'll make another attempt at explaining it for you :).

Now on to the rest:

Ai Shun wrote:
That said, who are you to judge if a person feels remorse or not? Would you want people to treat you as if your apology is fake if you make one?

I would highly recommend you read The Mittani's apology. You'll take quick notice that his apology, and he makes no excuse about it, is for making some comments while heavily intoxicated, to the point of not remembering what he said. I had asked before some questions that you either seemed to have ignored or overlooked so I will simply ask again:

MatrixSkye Mk2 wrote:
Was he drunk when he prepared that presentation? Was he drunk when he came up with the idea to mock a player contemplating suicide during a live event and in front of an audience? Was he drunk when he savored and relished on the victim's email? Was he drunk when he decided to keep this email as a prize for his accomplishments?

I would love to hear your input.

Quote:
That is a high moral ground you are putting yourself on. I sincerely hope you are as perfect as you imply you are. Then and again, given that you misrepresent what I said probably not P

See, the thing is you don't need to be high on any moral ground to realize that making fun of a depressed human being contemplating suicide is inherently wrong. And again, his apology was for a drunken mistake. Even though he claims not to use inebreation as an excuse for his behavior, that is exactly what he did. You don't have to be a genius to realize that his apology does not extend to all events leading up to his intoxicated presentation on that day, but rather just the presentation of that day. Blurring real life with game obviously isn't an issue to him (and goons in general).

Feel free to defend him, his apology, and his actions to the bitter end. But do yourself a favor and stop spinning this like he's the victim in all this. Goons, company, and friends were sold by Alexander's most outstanding behavior long before all this happened, no matter what writings are on the wall. Their (goon) tears have already been shed and Mr. Gianturco's revenge is already brewing. So no one's being fooled. Just some advice.

agree the RP excuse is stupid as well then cause its a two sided coin here
The argument is only really stupid if claiming he's RPing in the video (which has been claimed since and by him in the EVE-Radio thing "I got home, dropped character..." saying that HE was RPing...

I would not describe it as "roleplaying". You wouldn't use the same language in a formal meeting that you would out at the bar with your friends. Mittens made a similar mistake, he used the wrong phrase in the wrong place, due to a combination of alcohol and an ego trip. He used language, that while perfectly acceptable on mumble, didn't fly in the real world.

Come on man, haven't you been reading these forums at all? Goons don't have any free will. The Mittani coerces their cooperation through terrorism and fear.

In other words, you rather create an imaginary treasure hunt than answer these questions.

I've read CCP's response on the matter (including that thread you linked above). And my questions are not directed at CCP. But I can see why you'd try and divert the issue.
