Intergalactic Summit

*popcorns*

Come on hot lips, at least provide some names and examples to make things interesting.

The difference is that you are putting far too much stock in a few Caldari on the IGS as representative of the State. A couple Caldari with a presence here that feel the need to ingratiate the State to others should not be seen as a sign of a larger trend.

As for the publicly involved Caldari capsuleers you are speaking of, it seems to stem from their exhaustion in regards to discussing the same conflicts without end. If someone tires of attacking others, they tend to revert to praising themselves. Besides one particular capsuleer whose communications everyone should have set to ignore in the first place, I think this is the trend you are noticing. It is not about integrating others but instead a few capsuleers communicating their identity once age-old antagonisms stop being their driving motivations. They are just doing it haphazardly and a bit too often - a bit like an adolescent that first tastes a measure of autonomy. While I encourage their newfound perspective in many ways, I agree that it is disconcerting that it is newfound and they feel they must share it with others at every turn.

The bottom line is that you should not equate these capsuleers with Caldari as a whole. And I fully expect you realize that.

Last few days? Last few months, more like.

Unfortunately, at the moment in the current board most of "Caldari" capsuleers are defectors, who disregard their duty to the State and Caldari people.
If so-called Caldari don't serve the State, you shouldn't consider them Caldari in the first place.

From what I remember, the 'State is Great!' opinion of Caldari loyal capsuleers always has existed imo. It's not even unique, all supportive loyal capsuleers got the same opinion about their nation.

Amarr loyal capsuleers find the Amarr Empire the best, minmatar loyalists love their tribal council republic and Federation loyal capsuleers think the Gallente democratic federation is the greatest thing ever.

Any other view of loyalists would suprise me honestly. What also adds to the *My Nation is the Greatest thing ever!* rhetoric is the venomenous & toxic posting of certain members here. Admit that your nation is not perfect in any aspect and they'll quote it out of context till eternity in non-relevant discussions that you participate in, resulting in the need to defend yourself if you do not want to be accused of hypocrisy or slander and thereby derailing the threads.

In order to improve discussion quality, we'll all have to do an effort and not jump each others throat for even the smallest mistake or disjointed opinion or expression.

Hak'len is always the answer. Hak'len and Vodka.
And sometimes icecream.

Nothing has changed.

You're just now noticing it.

While arguing on the Summit, they dream in the "Backstage" of their subconcious on selfsame subjects in the exact same way -- and its always been this way since I started paying attention to 'capsuleer soocizalization'.

There is a simple rule.

Never involve yourself in threads involving Caldari if you are not Caldari.

They may not sleep or dream better at night -- but you will.

Drive them out?

Do your *purposely* walk into a flaming trainwreck that somehow is still circling on the same track?

Just, I don't know..

.. make a new thread.

Then they will capture it too
