Crime & Punishment

Completely false by the way. You can get bullied at the gym, even though you don't have to go. You can get bullied in the park, even though you don't have to go. The fact that an adult can avoid all bullying by locking himself in his house all day does not mean that there is no such thing as bullying. That is just a delusional view of human interaction. And yes, there can absolutely be bullying in a computer game.

One can smell weakness through the ether. Like this guy^^

This is not pre-school. You are not forced to play with others that you don't get along with. It is not "harassment" to choose not to fleet/join a corp/talk to another player, nor is it "bullying" to tell another player they do not want to play with them if they are are associated with another player.

You cannot make people be "friends" and if you try to force people together who dislike each other, you are asking for a much worse situation. If it is just a misunderstanding then of course feel free to explain to everyone and try and sort it out, but if someone has decided they do not wish to interact with another, then you have to respect that decision.

Time to be an adult and make a choice of who you want to play with. This is a game we all voluntarily play and can leave at anytime. Claiming that not wanting to play with another is "harassment" or "bullying" devalues these terms.

I can't take it anymore. There needs to be an EVE online forum parody of Futurama....
Veers Belvar as Captain Zap Brannigan.
Leto Thule as Bender.
ISDs Ezwal and Barstarlode as the future police.
Feyd as the news monster.
Cannibal Kane as himself.
Unsuccessful At Everything as Zoidberg.
I'll play Scruffy the janitor... open to ideas for the other roles :P

I happen to have a very good idea who you are talking about, I don't have a beef with the person personally.

However...

This person did more than just rub people the wrong way. He went out of his way to be offensive, and quite frankly, many people could rightfully accuse him of having been a bully in the past.

As a parent of a person with the same syndrome, I can tell you right now that him having that is no excuse for his behaviour. I am very involved with charities and organizations that deals with it, and in all but the worst cases (think rainman) there is very little anti-social actions.

Quite frankly, for the majority of people that acts the way he, it is more a matter of the person thinking he can do and say whatever he wants because 'aspergers'.

edit:

Not do say I dont believe in second chances, because I do happen to believe that he needs a second chance to show that he is willing to control himself. But that doesn't mean that you can accuse people not willing to give him a second chance of bullying, because it isnt.

You can gladly point him to the corp I am in. Signal Cartel is a cool corp, and the people are nice. We do have a 'no-agress' policy though, so it would be something that he would need to consider. It is however a good place for him to make a different kind of name for himself. (I am not an officer, so I am not speaking on behalf of our corp, I am just advertising :P )

Someone has to love me. Pretty sure the fedo is dead, but it's hard to tell by smell alone.... cannot find it. Also, I've apparently been banned from all pet shops in New Eden for some reason as well. Getting hard up here and those frozen corpses are starting to look very inviting.

One of them was the OPs friend by the sounds of it: Karma's a female dog ain't it?

I really feel like people are missing the point here.

We have a player kicked out of alliance cause he doesn't get along with people. So far so good.

We have an allied alliance of CVA (me) who recruited said person.

I'm being told that our alliances can't be allies because they don't like him.

If this person hurt CVA, fine I'd get that but morally you should not be bullying other people and telling them who they can't have in your alliance for out of game reasons.

As it stands CVA has set us red, removed our forum and Intel channel access and is in the process of getting their other allies to follow suite.

We do not live in providence but this throws a monkey wrench into the fleets of people we fly with.

Again I stress this is for out of game reasons. As far as I'm concerned it's a **** move made out of spite. Something's just don't need to happen even in EvE.

If someone set all know say frech players red because they don't like French people yes they are allowed with in the game rules but it's still a racist douchy move. People would look at that and say "dude really?"

I see this as no different.

Yes EvE is a harsh game but a game none the less and out of game crap needs to be left at the login screen.

We all get that, you said it clearly many times. Sure, it's a douchy move, but it's not bullying, it's simply and expression of preference. They don't like that guy and won't be friendly with any group he's in. It may be harsh, it may be without what you consider good reasons, but it's the game. If you don't like that they've done that, stand up to them. If you just kick him out to save yourselves from the possibility of getting roflstomped by CVA, then you're no better than them.
