Wasn't there? I thought that's what this thread was about.

That is not what I said. Nowhere in my post was anybody told to "go away". Do not put words into my mouth.

What I said was that they are free to choose whether or not to attend. That means exactly and only that. I am unsure what part of 'choice' you have difficulty understanding. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make. You seem to blame The Summit's open door policy for excluding people, and suggest that instead of what you claim is us excluding people, we should instead be excluding people.

As for the fit of indignation, that is more a jab at specific people who do indeed throw a very literal fit of indignation. It's not directed at everybody who choose not to attend.


What you say translates in reality to something else. "You may choose to leave or embrace everything that goes against civilized standards and morality:" By welcoming all the worst aspects of New Eden, others are no longer welcome unless they throw away morality, standards and principle. You can't possibly fail to understand the point. Your words may be different, but they do not remotely fit reality.

The Summit thus only welcomes those without scruples and standards, and those willing to mingle with them.

You can say "it's their choice" not to mingle with them, as if this is somehow a failing or an oddity. This is, once you consider it for what it is, almost insanity incarnate. When did avoiding the presence of terrorists, criminals, cultists and flat out monsters become something to be dismissed or be derisive of?

Yes. You should exclude "people". You should exclude the lowest layers of filth. The lowest common denominators. The crazed cultists, the worst terrorists and the monsters that would seek to destroy not only the State you claim loyalty towards but the other three nations as well. A place can only be open and welcoming if those who would destroy such notions are barred from entry, because only then will it be open and welcoming to the other side of the scales.

You already practice a similar thing. You bar people who behaves in ways you dislike. Someone who speaks in ways that are disapproved of are barred from entry, while those who commit the most atrocious of crimes New Eden has ever witnessed do the moderation.

You are not a fool, Oniseki. You know there are double standards at work here, and that allowing the Sansha and others to hold court in the Summit does effectively bar others from entry. Of course, none holding sway there actually wants it to be other than how it is, so this will never come to pass. Just stop pretending that it's open to all, because that is sophistry of the worst sort.

Otsito, we in the Foundations find many outsiders as disgusting, immoral, depraved and vile as they find us. The difference here is we also understand the value of neutral grounds for discussion and the importance of communication
I in general despise many Holders, but it harms me not to be in a channel with them.

The Summit is indeed open access. The limits are in the minds of those who refuse to go there.

So, Jinari Otsito, would it be fair then to say the same standards should be applied here in the IGS?

Should you not be outraged at the cognitive dissonance of the IGS? Should you not be berating CCL for allowing members of Sansha's Nation the right to post here? How about decrying the allowance of TSF to use SCC operated markets? Or the right to use the same high-security stargates as ourselves?

Or even the right to maintain cloning contracts in CONCORD owned stations?

Where are your arguments against the rest of the places they are allowed to go? What makes The Summit so much more horrifying than official areas operated by CONCORD and its affiliates?

I pose two obvious questions...

Since when has a privately owned channel been required to abide by anything other than the decisions of those who run it?

And if it's so offensive, why continue to frequent it, let alone make a thread that just draws more attention to it?

And one personal question, Madame Dea... Have you bothered to ask any of the non Nation capsuleers what their opinions are regarding the subject before assuming that everyone is "fine" with Kuveki? I've seen, and participated in, a number of conversations that run counter to that sweeping assumption, it just doesn't come up as often since there are other figures in the spotlight right now.

A very simple solution to this issue, and while it will not please everyone it will move it to neutral ground.

Moderators to be One from each faction, be they Empire, matari or sansha, completly fair completly equal.

but thats just my two cents.

A curious question. After a recent bump into The Summit channel and frequent visits to this forum, I find myself absolutely baffled at the hate posed toward Tibus Heth, Empress Jamyl, or any of these other characters of the various factions.

Yet not even a blink of Sansha Kuvakei and his advocates here.


Moreso, how many of you knew that members of True Slave Foundations are actually moderators of The Summit, exercising their power to intervene the moment anyone brings up a subject they personally don't like?

(No channel rules were violated or were going to be violated during this process in any way.)


So… Trillons have died, been abducted, stolen, and placed into one man's vision of a utopia who is at war with all the societies we each voice for.

And we are completely fine with his minions running our Summit and/or holding a voice here?


Just… mind.. blown.



Another capsuleer,
Isis


It is all because of GALLENTEAN influence. You see, Sansha is just sitting in his hideout, sending out his raids.
While Empress Jamyl and Executor Heth were actively fighting the Federation.

Those, who were speaking against them, are either gallenteans, gallentean bootlickers or straightforward idiots.

Empress Jamyl is, and Executor Heth was, the most merited and powerful peoples in our cluster, and guess what? Imbecile gallentean citizens didn't vote for them! They try to discredit them with all their puny power.

Gallentean ideals of eqalitarism and democracy simply can't stand us having prominent, merited and wise rulers. That's why these democratic dolts slander names of our prominent leaders, that's why they send their agents to infect weak-minded and corrupted morons in our camps to act against our best citizens.

We must stand together against them. We must protect our ideals and our leaders. We must protect everything that is dear to us, and not allow gallentean swines to tell us how to leave our lives. We must repay them, as they deserved it:

WITH FIRE AND STEEL.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

In memory of Tibus Heth, Caldari State Executor YC110-115, Hero and Patriot.

It does seem that Ms Dea's primary concern is that she objects, not to Tiberious but to the involvement of Nation supporters in the channel in general. However, the Summit, if I am not mistaken, exists for the purposes of discourse among loyalists of all factions -- or none -- and as such in the nature of fairness and civil discourse, this is a situation which ought to exist, anyway. If anything, I think we're LACKING moderators from one or two factions, which should be remedied.


To be honest I support this point of view, not because it will solve the situation, but because it will at least usher in a new brand of butt hurt to blight this forum and others besides. Seems people forgot where their channel creation tools are, as well as the 'close channel' command sequence (the clue is in the quote marks).

Besides, 'enemies of New Eden' is a bit strong. Enemies of the CONCORD signatories and a hack job slavery/prostitution ring with a side in extortion and 'power games' that would make a GalNet fetish community look askance at the theater of it (hello Angel Cartel) is more accurate. The Guri seem to tolerate us and indeed have requested assistance in the past. As for Sarparti's drug peddlers, throw them in with their Angel overlords I guess. For the lazy 'enemies of ALMOST all of New Eden' will suffice.

Those standards should be applied here as well, and especially the markets, stargates, and stations.

"We can shoot people all we want in nullsec. Clearly this lowest common denominator should be the norm in highsec too, since no one argues against nullsec."

It may have been a poor metaphor, but there we are. If I have to point out every single failing humanity and eggers have, in communication networks, CONCORD rules and regulations and all other conceivable things before I can point out other quite real problems then we'll never get to improve anything, ever.

Make an IGS thread about how it is poorly set up for civilized discourse and I'll lend my voice to it. I have already spoken of how the capsuleer markets are entirely insane, allowing us to completely circumvent State (and others) laws to trade in contraband, slaves and more. If there's a thread on that subject, I'll lend my voice. If there'd been a thread about limiting the movement of creatures like them, perhaps you'd find my voice on that subject too.

Of course, like this, that too would just be wasting my time. You seem to have no interest in the actual problems, merely deflecting any attempt made at shedding light on them. The arguments have gone from "then just go away" to "Why point out these problems, you have not solved all the other ones in New Eden?".

Where are your arguments for favoring every piece of filth and monster in New Eden over those who would rather not deal with them?

It is just the Summit… A private channel, operated by a cardinal who teamed up with a Sani Sabik and a true slave… For some time, if I recall correctly, everyone who let a slave enter his video stream was kicked from communications for a while—ironic isn’t it?

It reminds me a bit of The Font in the Torsad-Laur. The lower classes of capsuleers gather in the Summit and if no quick jokes are to be found or the desired alcoholic level is reached, they go back to where they came from. Sometimes entertaining, mostly not. It clearly shows the moralist character of most who proclaim to be the embodiment of ethical wisdom. There is nothing wrong about it, unless you start to take it serious.

People seem to dislike the fact that a member of a Nation supporting corporation can be a good, fair and just man. You know, shattered illusions and a breaking of the hundred year old lie that the Empires have peddled to them. Some will do anything to stay in their comfort zone.
