I think enough time has passed and Mittens has had plenty of time to think about his one poor choice he made. We should forgive and forget, and have Mittens take his rightful place as CSM chair.

People with grudges don't think with their heads. Given that Mittens is the smart choice, the only votes that should matter are the ones for Mittens anyway.

No. A proven cyberbully is an extremely poor choice as a player representative. This is especially true in Mitten's case since he was in CSM office when said EULA breaking action took place.

It is irrelevant whether the failed lawyer is on the CSM or not. His influence is manifested through the who know how many null sec cartel reps goons place on the CSM. Further, as Ripard Teg, a current CSM member, stated in his blog, the failed lawyer uses his own back channels, apparently on a near daily basis, to give dev's his opinion about the direction of the game.

Oh, and ISD, this is not hearsay. When a sitting CSM member states it in his blog, I kinda think it is accurate.

Erotica is right, the Mittani deserves to be CSM Chair and should never have had to resign.

Hearing people use stupid words like "cyber-bully" makes me want to vomit.

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

I'm fairly certian he has no interest in running. I believe he said something along the lines of: "I'm done giving CCP free counsel for their game."

Yeah, Ripard Teg definitely has a history of having a clue of what he's talking about. Roll

You forgot to mention that EVE is dying, though. He expounds upon that on a daily basis. If a sitting CSM member says so in his blog, it must be true, right?

Even a cursory read of minerbumping shows that Mittani's mistake almost pales by comparison to the way people carry on every week in game.

I'd certainly consider voting for him if he ran for CSM, but I don't think he needs to be on the CSM.

Someone has a GoT quote in their signature along the lines of a true King doesn't need to proclaim himself a King. Mittani's position is comparable (not in the royal sense). He doesn't need to be Chairman of the CSM to have a powerful influence on the community and game. He has that through his actions and leadership.

I heard this is the thread where people getting "likes" for typing "nope"?

Nope!

P.S. There are 500k accounts in EVE and probably 250k+ users. I'm sure there are thousands of less questionable personalities among them who will represent EVE community much better.

I really don't have anything against The Mittani. I found his behavior at FanFest 2 years ago atrocious but we all make mistakes. That being said, I think it is clear that his presence would be entirely too polarizing. I think if he aspires to be on the CSM (which is kind of a silly aspiration imo) he should spend some time reaching out to those who know of him only as "the guy that tried to get that Wiz guy to kill himself", and try to mend those fences. I have no doubt that he's a smart kid but he ****** up. He did apologize but most of us only hear or see that bad side.

Just my 0.02 ISK on the matter.

Sorry son, but you aren't going to stop me doing anything.

Here, let me spray some WD40 on your up tight nuts: Encouraging other players to grief another player in game in the hope that the victim actually commited suicide IRL, is cyberbullying. It doesn't matter what medium that encouragement was delivered in, the fact that Mittens was goading other players to carry out in game actions in the hope of achieving said outcome is cyberbullying by proxy.

Mittens is a proven cyberbully.

In those immortal words as used by Mittens the day after his notorious Alliance panel broadcast:

~deal with it~
