If you're the only ones who care and vote for the CSM why do we have it in the first place?

Yes and you're point being? Just because it was needed then doesn't mean it's needed now.

I think Darius was voted on to the CSM by people who were either apathetic,griefers or because they knew he wasn't going to do anything so why do we need a re-vote because one or more of the CSM are actually filling theirs pre-election pledges better than anyone else is?

Why is it whenever Frying Doom posts the distinct smell of durians enters the thread?

"The mystique of the stinky yet delicious durian is legendary among travelers to tropical Asia, and has inspired enough web pages to warrant a unique Fruit > Durian category in the Yahoo! directory. "

Smelly yet delicious, that is a really nice compliment thanks.

Yes and mud slinging from a mindless drone really means what to me? Your masters don't like me so you throw mud, Good drone.

While a recall at this point would be unprecedented, impractical and thoroughly entertaining, I do believe some formal censure is appropriate for the attempt at vote rigging. Certainly a censure for the act itself is appropriate; but I am of the mind that the censure should be for the sheer stupidity behind arguments made to push it as a working paper. That's right I want CSM to be held accountable for being dumb. Not just dumb like in a sack of hammers dumb, I mean "Let's make a Matrix MMO" dumb. I forget who did run the MMO by the way, it doesn't matter who ever it isn't involved with EVE. What matters is someone actually thought the argument of "voter enfranchisement" by way of "voting controls and vote valuing under an undisclosed new system" was some how going to fly smoothly. Whether or not you agree with changing the voting system is not the point, the point is the kind of logic that was used itself to green light even the discussion as anything other than a bad April Fools joke.

I don't care what part of space you come from, what style you like to play, you don't deserve to be talked down to by a confederacy of dunces. When certain CSM members think they are clever clearly bad things happen, how much time is now going to be wasted arguing about a bad idea? How much of this time could have gone towards fixing game play mechanics or driving new content? How many of you wonder how the hell someone could get on the CSM while lacking the basic understanding of democratic representation, or for that matter willing to ignore their understanding of it?

Now this has all been done in the name of getting players to care. Well what has this CSM done to make the players of EVE care about anything, or be excited about the work the CSM is doing? You want people to vote either make it mandatory or give them a reason too. Preferably you want them actively engaged because having the pulse of the player base means content everyone can embrace, but when you have a couple of CSM members thinking they are clever about rigging votes everyone is going to look at the CSM as a joke. A bad joke because I haven't heard anyone laugh yet.

^^ What he said.

Recall Issler Dainze for doing absolutely nothing for her/his/its constituents since being elected. And not even going to the summit.

You mean the plans that they had long before the CSM 7 nominations were even announced?
