So how far past 6 are you now in this thread? lol

When I first started EVE I let people get to me on the forums but then I grew up, got a job, got married, had kids.

I realised that the government expected me to give them 45% of my earnings + 10% GST on top + registration + tax my petrol 45% + tax my cigarettes around 300% + tax my alcohol 60%.

I realised that girlfriends who turn into wives are massively annoying and troll me much more than any forum user ever could.

At that point I ceased to able to be annoyed by the EVE online forums and started using it as a way to relax. Relaxing in a nice troll thread helps me survive life. Why would I need to be offensive or abusive to you wonderful people. I feel like buying you all beer.

Kind of hard to avoid at this end of a 350+ page thread. :) But look: I'll confess, if it will make Remiel happy. I hate what E1 does. i really hate it. I don't think he should be allowed to seek out EvE players to do it to any more.


It makes me happy when people are honest.

Do you think Ero should be banned just because you hate him?[

No, I'm not. I'm bringing to account the point that so many are calling for Ero's ban, but no one is calling for Sohkar's as well on the same terms. I want to see Sohkar held to account for his hate speech and threats of violence. Are you saying his behaviour should be accepted by the community?

Should CCP deem him guilty of breaking the rules then I would be ok with it. However his actions are a direct reaction to the situation he was placed in by E1.

Should someone break into my my house at night I should not be held accountable if I have to kill the guy to protect my family and kids. His actions dictated my response. Would be like a guy trying to sue because he broke his leg trying to steal your tires from your car while you were driving it.


A man that strikes his wife that cheated on him was placed in an emotional position by his wife by being cheated on. A person fired from his job and blows up his workplace was placed in an emotional position by his work by being fired.

A crime of passion is still a crime of passion, and the perpetrator is ENTIRELY responsible for their actions.

Threads like these can acquire a life of their own.

Much like a chicken, they can run around for quite a while after their head has been cut off.


I disagree. I think this thread has been on rails the whole time. Someone's gotta be on some serious hardcore narcotics to so blatantly blow things this far out of proportion and have so little perspective.

Fair point. But still, it's all over but the twitching.

Truthfully, Infinity is pretty good at it.

A lot of people get pretty wound up thinking he is actually on their side in an argument.

Silly people.

While you sit there thinking "I've gotten away with it."

I'll be sitting here eating my popcorn, waiting for the ban hammer to come down on your account. Shouldn't be much longer now.....

I'll give it to you though, nice attempt at throwing all of this under the rug. What you need to realize is that not all people are stupid, it's quiet obvious what you are doing here and I highly doubt this is going to get you off the hook so easily.

Eagerly anticipating the ban hammer.

So, since the witch hunt has been outed as a witch hunt, what do we do now?

My thought is, we make a list. Since, thanks to Sohkar, it has been revealed that it's laughable to call it torture, and no harm was really done... then what we really have here is precisely what it looked like.

A textbook example of demagoguery, trying to whip up people into a lynch mob against someone, because you don't like something about them.

But since Ripard Teg is now the Fred Phelps of EVE, who are the rest of the Westboros? I say we start getting some names down. For our own mutual protection, of course.

Thoughts?

This coming from someone who has been completely biased the duration of this is pretty hilarious. You chose what points you deemed as valuable based on your opinion which given the circumstances and you deciding to take the low road makes your opinions not very respectable. That's fine though, your opinion nor mine matters much. CCP will decide what is okay and what is not, we are not the deciding factors in judgement. They are getting A LOT of bad publicity.

Sour grapes? No ma'am, those are fermented grapes. And here I have a large selection of coagulated curds to accompany said grape product. Would you like to sample some?

Which would be fine if that were true... things like this always make subscriptions skyrocket.

However, opinions out on the web are pretty mixed on the whole thing and don't seem to be taken very seriously by anyone.

We'll see what happens when the media outlets post sohkars position on the whole silly mess... although I doubt they'll report that side of it. Smile

To the extreme right, a centrist always appears to be a 'leftie', to the extreme left, a 'rightwing fascist'. I suggest bias is so strong with you it has blinded you to the possibility of impartiality.

Feel free to add me to that list, I really don't consider Erotica 1's behaviour acceptable.
