EVE General Discussion

Caldari Citizen, it does seem like you and 200 others have covered yourselves in meat and then went wandering amongst lions.


Nothing says that the lions will eat all 200, but it seems rather odd for you to think you wouldn't get savaged.


That you've had the name for 7 years isn't the point.

Here you go, some English 101, basic stuff.

Moral of the story is, don't argue with someone if you don't have a masters on the topic, and they do. K?

I can't speak for others butt I'd love to be covered in meat.

Proved me wrong? Hardly. See mister, I have a piece of paper from Cambridge that expressly states that I know English. If you feel that you're right, take it up with them and try to explain your predicament in a way that will make sense and will not get you laughed at.

Ah, this again. How/when did people start thinking that they have some sort of inherent right to not be offended?

I blame the publik skool system.

Actually, you've established nothing of the sort, whereas I have posted this high school english lesson for your benefit, which you've quite happily ignored.

Note: "'A' and 'an' are articles, not prepositions. 'A' is correct here because 'euphemism' starts with a /j/ sound. It is the sound, not the spelling, that determines indefinite article choice."

You can't even get your sounds correct

Please, find me ONE professional example of 'an euphamism' being used, preferably in something academic. Link it here. Make a case. Or, cry moar. Claiming to have made a case when you haven't will be translated as moar crying. Projection = moar crying. In fact, posting anything other than evidence of your assertions = moar crying.

I'm actually quite surprised at the momentum my post has stirred. If i may, let me focus on a few points for discussion.

First and foremost, should the length of a characters existence have any effect on the decision of a name change. There would be more petitions from more people early in the characters career if the name was so offensive, and thus CCP would have taken action sooner, correct?

Second, is there reasonable cause to suspect that the ISD/administrator made the decision based on his/her feelings of the questionable scenario the character is involved in, along with the circumstances of the original petition? And if so, is this ok, and to what extent?

Third, should said individual have the right to change his name after CCP, or an individual with administrative authority working under CCP, has made the decision that it is indeed offensive and should not be allowed? I've heard rumors of the possibility of this having already occurred, and Anal being given the opportunity to change his name beyond "racial citizen number" status. if this is the case though, i would still like to hear any argument as to why this shouldn't be allowed.

I encourage people to please try to stay on topic, as i know this is a sensitive issue to some people seeking answers and resolutions.

Euphemism starts with a ю sound. But then again, you can't even spell the word properly, so I shouldn't be wasting my time on you.

Are you implying that an education in a 3rd world country is somehow "beneath" an education in a more privileged country?

I find that elitist and offensive.



No, there was that post of yours a few posts back that I think may well have had more *'s in it than actual letters. Right about then is when the group here decided you're probably a little angry.
