EVE General Discussion

Because there are never singular positions you find so untenable they negate anything else you might have agreed with.
I didn't agree with him on everything, and for most things that was perfectly fine. That one was a dealbreaker.

Pretending you don't recognize sarcasm doesn't get any of us anywhere.


I misinterpreted this thread as an open discussion on his actions in general, not just the recent non-incident. Admittedly this was a mistake. I have a tendency to bring up side issues in discussions that I think are relevant but which really aren't. I'm working on it.

There's not really much that I could say about OP or his crusade that hasn't already been said. Nothing Malcanis said was worth of any response more drastic than an eyeroll emoticon.

OP just wants to get a CSM member removed, just so he can say *I was responsible for this, I meant something*

Pathetic.

Let me first apologize for the fact that I couldn't be bothered to read the entirety of this thread. It is a terrible mess of people upset over someone being upset and after the first couple of posts I couldn't continue.

So, on to the point. OP, the person you are "standing up for" is irrelevant. If they cannot stand being made fun of then they should most certainly avoid the internet. I'm going to be made fun of for making this post. The **** storm that will likely arise from my next couple of statements will be epic. That doesn't stop me from voicing my opinions, though I do trend towards having much more informed opinions than the poster you're defending. Their idea was terrible, and they should have done a bit of research before posting such things, but that's still secondary to the fact that they are irrelevant.

Next, Malcanis is irrelevant to everybody except his supporters, friends and followers. If the person you're defending doesn't fall into one of those three categories, why do they care what he says? They can just continue playing EvE Online while hating him, ignoring him or trying to make him miserable. If they were a supporter, friend or follower then I understand that they might be upset at being insulted by someone they like, respect or admire but that still doesn't change the fact that Malcanis is irrelevant.

Third, the Mittani is irrelevant to everybody except his supporters, friends and followers. Which one are you? Which one is the person you're defending? If, again, you don't fall into one of those three categories, then why do you care what he said in Iceland or in this thread?

The reality is that we are all irrelevant to everybody outside of our "cliques." My friends respect me, turn to me for advice and know that I wouldn't insult them. If I was to insult them, they would be understandably upset as it would be quite out of character for me. However, when they hear me insult someone else they do not care. The reason they do not care is because the person I'm insulting is irrelevant to them just as I am irrelevant to the person I am insulting. For someone to become so upset over the opinion of someone that shouldn't matter to them is a sure sign of an individual that feels themselves to be far more important than they truly are.

Honestly, if you do not like or respect Malcanis(which it is quite obvious that you don't) then why would you bother to make this thread except in an attempt to "take him down a notch." That is such a childish endeavor that it behooves me to inform you that you'll fail, as his friends and supporters will jump to his defense in an attempt to "take you down a notch." Sure, this proves that they are just as childish as you, but that only means that your argument with them will never end as you will both stand your ground screaming for mommy because the other one hit you first. Grow up. If you feel such hatred towards someone through a video game, you should probably avoid them at all costs as it will have a very negative impact on your real life. This is unhealthy, and you should immediately stop and reconsider the direction you're heading in.

I will say this again Malc is like Rob Ford.

you might not like what they have to say or how they act. But that’s not the reason they are in office. they are there to the best of their ability represent their constituents.

and to this i feel Malc has done a great job. Though i have to agree he was harsh for what he wrote though i do not think it crossed any line in the sand.

I will just leave it here. My dad always said that when you leave the house you do not just represent yourself you represent the family and how we are perceived. To that end i think that CSM should be more diplomatic when they respond to silly comments by players.

Remember just because you think an idea is stupid, the person making the suggestion might not understand all the variables and think that’s its entirely reasonable to make such a suggestion.

We don't all get what we expect. For instance I expect silly alts who lack integrity to be removed, but alas it is not to be.

My lord, we're still mewling over Malcanis being a little bit impolite when dealing with the internet space equivalent of a flat earth society member?

I have given many likes in this thread. None of which were for the OP. I just read the "offending" thread and don't see the problem. Malcanis genuinely apologized to Ting Mei's sensitivities:


and

I guess reading comprehension is secondary to thread rage. So, here we are! Another white knight creating another.........thread in the hopes of rescuing a pixelated damsel.

TL:DR

0/10 for the faux outrage/white knight
9/10 for the butt hurt and tears.

Leaving satisfied and to have a smoke.

Edited: missed a "t"

As a member of "privileged" class, gender, and race (so I'm told - I've yet to see all this freedom they say I have, and all this money they say I'm supposed to have) I know that I'd go to jail for many of the things that I see other "protected" classes, genders, and races make excuses and get away with.


Therefore, let us take on the privilege of requiring people who get free trips, the developers' ear in the future of the game, and elevated status to adhere to a higher standard of conduct.


Adhering to a higher standard of conduct is not difficult. I have to do it every day, since just about every news article and every essay coming from academia points out how I'm somehow the scourge of the world and why new laws and enforcement are needed to find more ways to stop whatever I'm doing and punish me for it.. just for being so "privileged" of course.


So it would not be that difficult to say, refrain from a personal attack in a forum.

CSM members should be called out on asshattery, but I have also seen a lot of posts get edited by ISDs without the poster getting banned. So on one hand, it's good that the ISD was not afraid to edit the CSM post and nobody should be "above the law" too. On the other hand, while expecting a higher standard of behavior from our "betters" we should not be too eager to demand "extra" judgement on them either.


I say, we should just ask Malcanis to be nice and thank the ISD for showing some bawls.

"As we progress in life" , "Younger Generations"? Oh please, stop it. Posting on an alt tells me you have not "Progressed in life" because when you get older you start to not give a ****. that starts about 35.

"Younger generations" are being said by 30 somethings, in which case does not qualify for ****.

Being older you should be able to deal or you are so hard up your trotting out your ehonor to get some from your lady friend because outside of the internet you are so socially challenged, the residents at the Sunny acres Nursing home pick on you.
