EVE General Discussion

taking words out of context does not make you smart.
Just proves you have nothing to say so you go and pick a tiny piece just to try and take attention away from the big picture.

It's called stupidity, low IQ, being dumb or simply lame.

It is possible to get angry enough that the mind searches for "the worst things to say".

Mel Gibson for example. Nobody goes into an explosive rant better IMO.


Now back in my day (TM) when people went into this state, it was uncommon for it to be full of racial and sexual slang and epithets.

Why was that?


Because back then such words were not lent such power. There was no political correctness turning mere words (which were also interchangeably used as terms of endearment) into weapons of mass destruction.


So now, when someone has gone completely off the end of their rope, their mind looks to the "shelf" of the worst things to say.

And guess what's on that shelf now, thanks to 20+ years of political correctness?


So of course it's only expected that the same victims (or fools who can't see how manipulated they are) will act like the person who said those words has committed an act completely disconnected from the mental state, one that was induced, in which those words were said.

It's like winning a trophy for these people, the sort that would use such incident as a whip of progressiveness to beat others with, such as "Oh so you say he was under duress? Why are you a racist too?".

The tactic is plainly obvious, and I see people do this on Twitter all of the time too.

Let's see if they find it interesting.

fortunately it s not up to u to decide or ascertain if the rules were broken or not...
u just can say that "u don't think that the rules were broken..."

meanwhile, i think that they were :o
and even if they don't, new rules should be written to stop such behavior!

Do you perchance work in the Russian government?

The scam part is fine, this is the part that isn't acceptable for me, and why I consider the bahaviour of Ero and his buddies to be beyond the pale.

"...Early in the proceedings, the victim admits to having a minor speech impediment that quickly becomes apparent. One of the instigators pounces on this and suggests that any word the victim cannot pronounce properly, he be made to look up the definition for and read that definition as well..."

The above quote is taken from Jester's blog on the subject.

Interesting 3 accounts stopped replying at the same time.



Sorry I'm slow. Just trying to find more news sources I can submit this story to.
Let's see what happens and how outside world sees it. I'm genuinely interested as I'm playing this game long enough and might have my vision skewed.

Good answer. I will say this though, apart from in jests with my friends, I have never once said "I hate you" in anger to a person without meaning it.

Same goes to "wish you were dead", not even in jest.

I have been often called a chinky slit-eyed bastard, especially while living/working in predominantly white nations. And yes I agree that these words may be uttered in anger without actual hatred/discrimination on the part of the utterer.

However, I have been threatened with physical violence before, and the people saying tend to attempt to follow up. If and when I threatened someone with physical violence, it would be because I meant it.

So discarding the notion that Sokhar is a racist bigot, the threat of physical violence, in my opinion is a very serious matter, especially when it is uttered over a VIDEO GAME. In short, my conclusion is that even if Sokhar is not a racist, the fact is that he threatened another video game player with physical violence over a video game, and the author makes no mention of this fact.

Could you not consider this as advocating one or the other by (A) presenting a biased view; (B) omitting the over-the-top reaction from the other player?

Fortunately, it's not up to you either, or the mob with the pitchforks.

This thread has a life of it's own, Threadzilla!

Anyway, taking bets on CCPs response, if any, being along the lines of: "We cannot take action on events that do not happen within our services. We are neither for nor against any behaviour a person takes outside of our system, with the exceptions of agreements made with CSM candidates."
