Dear Readers

After the barrage of post today I find myself unable to sit back and remain quiet about this issue anymore (you will see the irony of this statement shortly.) Of my albeit little time reading this board it has become clear to me that it has amongst other problems a very serious and cancerous body resting somewhere near it's heart.

I am talking of course of Ms. Diana Kim. Her continued hollow, vile, and vapid attempts to spit hatred and bigotry here has gone on quite enough. Her bold face wishes to be part of the Provists movement and hero worship of Heth represent the worst of the Caldari ideals, she represents the worst of my people. As such I can no longer sit by without at least speaking my peace. To my fellow Caldari and the other nations alike, she is a harlequin echo of the man who nearly sent our State to ruin and worse still she is both completely unrepentant and vocal about this.

Ms. Kim represents a nearly extinct and locally reviled percentage of our people but shouts so loud she allude to a scale far greater than reality allows. Like the Provist she espouses whenever questioned, she represents an enemy of the Caldari State not an Ally, and as such I would emplore all those who should choose to continue to engage her in her grandstanding to remember this.

After reading through today's dose of bigotry I found myself thinking on an old saying my mother would repeat to me. One should know my mother never engaged in outright combat during her entire life so take this with a grain of salt, that said it roughly translated to:

"The greatest injury one can inflict upon his foe, is to ignore him. "

And so today I give you my pledge; " No more. No more will I engage this bigoted grandstander. No more will I grant her vitriol an ear to land upon. No more will I lash back in anger and frustration against a foe who's only goal is attention for her vile agenda. I am finished. I pledge to no longer engage in this hate-filled game. I will not respond; no matter the cries or calls of cowardice. I will not afford this vapid foe another ounce of my effort or attention. This I pledge and enshrine here for all to see. "

I deeply hope more will join me in this effort, as I know so many more have done already. I'd be happy to engage in the discussion if you see folly in my actions (or more accurately" inaction. ") with named parties and known compatriots excluded of course.

Sincerely and Respectfully

And someone finally tells it like it should be.

I'm pretty sure I'll mess up, but hey, I'm in.

You have put me to shame, mademoiselle.

Rightfully so.

As much as it pains me, as I feel a compulsion to defend the nation and people for which I care deeply; I will commit to this course of action as well.

You, all of you, have my sincerest apologies for fueling the flames when it was unwise to do so.

Viz, Liam, and Anslo(l) hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter to me how polite or upstanding one can be: if this person is causing egregious annoyances throughout the cluster be it my friend or foe, they don't deserve a single reactionary bit from me. I urge you all to do the same.

Or, uh. Something like that, right? Something professional sounding.

I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.

The gods know I have tried in the past and will attempt to do so again, but a part of me has a problem remaining silent when I see such erroneous statements.

That said, I will do my best to remain silent

It has, Monsieur Mintor.

However, some of us are new to the scene and some of us would rather have given her a chance to prove or disprove the claims against her. It was an error to continue to engage, and for that I have apologized.

I find it mildly distressing the messages that the posting of a thread such of this sends: on the one hand, a disappointing lack of willpower on the part of most users of this forum (myself included in some cases), and on the other, the complete blind eye that the CRC has given to this forum for so long so as to let it get to the point where such a thread is necessary.

If the CRC has no desire to keep this forum in a usable state it seems worth questioning the point of using it in the first place.

I can't promise I'm going to outright stop talking to her, but I'll stay out of obvious grabs for attention. and not reply back when it escalates.

Already blocked, and now going to thoroughly resist the urge to be baited by. I encourage all loyal State citizens to do the same, so that it will be as if this madwoman's words find an empty room.

I wrote this during a small tea break I was taking between meetings today. Needless to say I am deeply happy to see such positive responses from this community. I hope more can take up this charge and through our non-participation send a clear message that enough is enough.

We have attempted reason countless amounts of times and Ms. Kim has through either cognitive dissonance or simple ignorance ignored our cries. Truly her game is rigged from the start, while the rest of us remain constrained by our faculties, such as logic and reason she will blissfully move past such impediments.

The only way to win this game, is to not play it in the first place.

I know how hard this can be, I have fallen prey to it countless times now and blame no one who has or will themselves. I only wish to shine a light upon the only healthy option I see at this juncture.

On the subject of moderation. This too deeply troubles me. The tool is broken without doubt. I see no groundskeepers in sight so I guess that leaves it up to us.

Sincerely

But ma'am! Can we still respond with live ammunition?

I blocked the accursed little troll many months ago. I advise all the rest of you to do the same.

You can't argue with ammo on the IGS.

I'm saying don't even respond to her. Just go shoot her. You looking for a job by the way? I like the cut of your jib, friend.
