Political Correctness, it's what people use to close down any real debate. Also, people pointing fingers at others tend to be the biggest closet biggots.


Exacly this ^ What a person does or does not believe doesn't matter one bit as long as they are not using their platform as a CSM to espouse or promote violence or intolerant views. Full stop, there really are no other words necessary.

I would have hoped people would know this, anything else is akin to a medieval witch hunt.

Well, there's this CSM candidate video that has German white-power music playing and various white-power logos and such sprinkled throughout the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6Af6R4j0S_U

CCP can do whatever they want with their intellectual property (EveO) running on their servers. They only give the impression that the community has a say in anything because anything we say is pretty much irrelevant to the Big Picture.

Totally hypothetical question, but at what level of absolutely reprehensible personal views held by a CSM candidate would CCP say "thats it, you can't run". Like, (again, hypothetically) if an honest-to-God Neo-Nazi were running for CSM, would CCP bar them from the election? Allowing them to run is a tacit endorsement of their views, IMHO.


The CSM is about the game, not ones real life political views. Allowing someone to run for CSM in no way endorses their personal real life political beliefs.

I shouldn't be surprised to see a Goon standing up for this guy; after all, they're the ones who so flagrantly mock an entire religion in their talk of certain... 'cabals' and money-making activities...

Greetings

First the thread is being moved to a more appropriate forum. Second the thread is being locked due to the nature of the thread mentioning the CSM, but the Topic is not truly about EVE. Thirdly, the thread is talking around discussions in another locked thread that is being looked into. Your understanding and patience is appreciated.
