Intergalactic Summit

Nope.

This place is for the free expression of ideas. ALL ideas. Bloodraider, Guristas, Angel, Serpentis, Goon, we get a voice too.

We start down that road and pretty soon no one has a voice.

Do I like the original post? No, it was abhorrent. Do I have a right to make a stand against it? Hell yeah. Do I have a right to complain about it? Sure. Do I have the right to demand it gets censored and taken down and the person removed because it made me sad?

NO.

You don't like Nauplius and the things he does? Too bad. He's a Bloodraider, they tend to do stuff like this. You don't like it, do something about it. But don't turn this forum into a place where you have to get permission to express an idea.

His girlfriend posted that some Sanis were doing this weeks ago. Did she get censored? No. So Nauplius upped the stakes. Boo Hoo. Like this is a surprise to anyone?

Do I support his actions? F*ck no. If someone grows a pair big enough to take him down I won't lose a minute of sleep. But until someone decides to strap on some armor, grab a blaster, jump in a ship and ace the f*cker, he has as much right as anyone else here to speak.

So do I. So do you.

"Federal Rules?"

**** that.

Oh...yeah...I see what you mean.

Still...



Also, nothing is immortal. We're decidedly hard to kill or capture, but it can be done.

I don't see the point in banning him.
Despite being...a deeply ****** up individual, Nauplius is entertaining.
It's rather fun watching the fallout in any thread he's a part of.

****, ****, ****, ****, **********, ************, and ****

Wow.....they're good, they got all seven.

No doubt that he should...... but what do you propose to do if he milks the surveillance teams?

Something about milking....but that's all I"m gonna say.

I have to agree with Mr. Moray here.

Intergalactic Summit should be open to all capsuleers. Whilst there are some basic rules and polite behaviour to uphold, I don't think Mr. Nauplius has breached it. If he has, that's for the ISD to decide, not a petition or a vote by an angry mob.

Also, you do realize by making this post you're technically giving leeway to Nauplius' original one and allowing it to still have impact and presence after being removed?

Sometimes inaction can be more beneficial than action; it's pity a lot of people prefer the sound of their voice to pragmatism.

I am going to hurl on you, then him, then you again.

Just. Stop.

Pilots. Please?

I agree that Nauplius is ridiculous, but the fact that he is something that actually happens to people makes him ridiculously horrible.

I'd like to be able to laugh about it. I really would. But I keep thinking about the people he's happening to.

And I can't.

I know I can't, pilot. But it's not that easy. My first memories, before I met any of you, are of being locked in my captain's quarters, a defective, probably unauthorized clone, waiting for the local authorities to order some security officer or STPRO marine to do what the automated systems and cloning bay staff hadn't.

I've been there-- helpless, stuck in a box, waiting to die. Only, what those women are going through is so much worse than anything that ever happened to me, and, even if they're not being systematically murdered, probably very few of them will get out of there alive.

I know there's nothing for it. I get that.

I also get that ridicule is all Nauplius deserves. It's probably the best way of getting at him. It's why I started, um, adding postscripts to his remarks.

Sometimes it's too much, though. He worships a god of atrocity, and just like there are levels of pain nobody can endure, there are things he does that just go beyond mocking.

Like this.

It's not funny to me. It's never going to be.
