That and the fact that I'm an official Kalaakiota citizen. One of the Okusaiken.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Thank you, Mademoiselle Valentina, for proving a point I've attempted to make several times.

Commander Kim,

I've stated it to you before and I would repeat it earnestly, not out of spite or malice, but out of a sincere desire to help you express yourself in a way that is conducive to discussion and debate.

Even if what you say is one-hundred percent truth (though I'm not stating it is, it's a generalization), how you say it is every bit as important as what you have to say. If I were to stand here and tell you the absolute truth of a situation but do so through the use of insults, demeaning terminology, dismissive arrogance or antagonistic taunts then you'll no more listen to what I'm saying than a wall would.

It is one thing to speak truth.

It is another thing entirely to speak truth and be heard.

Trying now to compare gun calibers, Tuulinen-haan?

I'd like to remind you, that you are addressing a member of official Caldari State corporation with official Caldari State insignia. And now I imagine how your barrel melts and droops down.

Yet you have called me stateless, where I have way more reasons to call you so, yet I didn't do this so far. Maybe it is time to do this, since you are refusing to hold responsibility for your words, and slinging more words at you is my only remaining option.

Damn, it may sound hypocritical, since I was myself in a situation like you are now, served another corporation that served the Empire, maintaining Caldari citizenship, and you can still kill enemies of the State and serve the Empire like I did, but look at these facts:
- Your loyalty belongs to a mercenary corporation, started by a gurista and traitor
- You have stayed in the corporation, even when they have betrayed the State, I have left mine when they left the service to the State
- Comparing not the past, but the present, my loyalty belongs to the Caldari State and Caldari State alone.
And whose interests you would represent I can't imagine. Pirates? Traitors? Guristas? Angels? Federal bootlickers? SANSHAS?...
While everything I say and everything I do, I do this for the sake of Caldari State.

Did you want to turn the conversation this way, Tuulinen-"haan"?
Enjoy your medicine.

Look around, just look around at replies here.
How I can you ask me to speak with respect towards those, who can't answer my points and just speak about me?

And now look at your own reply.

Have you said which exact line in the petition was containing "insults, demeaning terminology, dismissive arrogance or antagonistic taunts"? So I could admit which exact mistake I did and fix?

No, you have said that I DO SO "through the use of insults, demeaning terminology, dismissive arrogance or antagonistic taunts".

Yes, it means you can't participate in civilized conversation as well, yet demanding me to do so. You wanted some "insults, demeaning terminology, dismissive arrogance or antagonistic taunts", very well, I will give you them, frog. Now at least this your line isn't a lie. Won't make your point and demand valid yet.

You have been measured, weighted and found wanting.

Next.

Gurista and Traitor?

You left out:

#BestProvistCommissar, #JackbootsTheBestBoots, #FascistHumour, #AchuranDangerZone, #WhoLetTheSyrikosHoundsOut, #WTSFedPOW, #KaalakiotaSwag, #IHateLawyersAndEspeciallyVeik, #VeikitamoIsPrimary, #CrashIsNotADrugButALifestyle, #ApplyBootsKaalakiotaStyle, #SexiestWarCriminalYC116, #ILoveHaatakanOiritsuu.

At least that's what came up for me as the first few related terms on Galnet when I searched myself. I'm sure #GuristaTraitor will make it on the rather expansive list eventually. All the while I will continue to collect my Kaalakiota pension from CFU and enjoy the officially retired life.

So much free time to savour the irony of Diana Kim accusing people of being forum warriors while she never stops posting.

Commander Kim,

I was not attacking any of your posts specifically, nor you individually.

I am sure that you are honest enough, and possessing of enough honor, to admit that you have, on more than one occasion, referred to Minmatar as "savages" and "primitive," you also consistently refer to Gallente as "frogs." These are the words I was referencing, not any of your specific posts.

Had I wished to discuss a particular post, I would have quoted it and addressed it.

I also was not attacking you or your character, I was relaying a message to you and I even stated that I was not doing so with hostility or malice.

I am sorry you were under the impression that my response was an attack but it was not.

To be considerate to you as the original author of this thread, I will indeed address the petition itself. Before I do so, I will point out that even if the petition is written respectfully and honestly (which it appears to be), the reason you are receiving the responses you are receiving is because of the above mentioned dilemma; that being your usual demeanor in discussions and why people do not listen to what you have to say; because of how you often say it.


I believe you raise valid concerns regarding the nature of these prison camps and of the illegitimacy of their existence and operation. I also believe having them declared a DED threat assessment would alleviate the political and military web their existence has woven, as it would enable those of us with the means necessary to deal with them candidly.

Regarding your first point: I believe it is more a matter for the Federation and its people to label the SDII as a "terrorist" organization (or, more appropriately, an extralegal organization) and to dissolve it internally. CONCORD has no jurisdiction within the Federation itself. Though, I will state for the record that I already view the SDII under such terms.

Regarding your second point: I cannot agree with this request. the Federal Navy is a legitimate military organization operating legally within the confines of that identity. Further, the actions of the late Admiral Noir have been under suspicion since the incident and investigation has repeatedly suggested a very well hidden level of foul play at work, including potential assassination with intent to impersonate.

Regarding your third point: A lack of public terrorist activity does not alleviate the responsibility of the organization, particularly given that its goals and purpose for existence have not changed. Further, I would like to illustrate the double standard of attempting to acquit one organization for its past crimes while simultaneously suing another for its past crimes.

Regarding your final point: The Federation cannot be reasonably faulted for the military decisions and direction of the Caldari State, its Navy or any of its officers. The decision to lower the Titan into low orbit was made by the State, not the Federation. Second, if an investigation into the events leading up to and surrounding that day is to be undertaken, it should be under the notion of investigating a breach of international treaty, not a war crimes investigation; which is a political investigation, not a police one.

Liam, don't bother.

she took your earlier statement of 'if I were to do so' as 'you do so' ....
Diana, while completely capable of discerning the true meaning of your words, CHOOSES to misinterpret them and take offence.

Take her response to Pieter, where she says she doesn't care for the intent of his words, merely that her own misinterpretation of them was, mistakenly, taken as an insult.

then she has the nerve to claim that he is a traitor to the state due to the fact that his corporation is currently on secondment to the Amarr militia.

all the time claiming that her position within a corporation that has no requirement beyond not having negative standings with the state, proves a damned thing.

given a few short weeks, I could improve my Caldari standings to the point that I could join the State Protectorate. a Militia organisation with no legal ties to the navy. Created specifically to remove the navies from the proxy war.
That would not make me any more state loyal than I am a proponent of the Black Eagles.



so, let's look at the petition in more direct terms, much like you have.

I agree, wholeheartedly, that if possible, the SDII (Black Eagles) should be ousted from their current position, They have a vast reach within the Federation as well as their black flag and illegal operations outside the Federation. Their abuse of power is well documented and has been spoken out against on many occasions.

The call to make the Federation navy a terrorist organisation is farcical to say the least, however, in the interest of answering the point in full, the actions of Noir were, even in his own words, broadcast in open comms, his own.

The call for the declassification of the Dragonaur as a terrorist organisation based on false claims is also quite simply a joke.
Given that the CEP declared their actions, and those of Tibus Heth, to be Terrorism in recent years, the claim that they have not taken part in such activities is patently incorrect.

and finally, the events of Operation Highlander.
Hypothetically, if those actions are to be seen as war crimes, a full investigation should be undertaken.
During the events on that fateful day, Admiral Yanala clearly stated that she had been directly ordered by the Executor to move into a low orbit along with her attendant fleet.
She had also clearly stated that her orders included the use of her Oblivion doomsday weapon upon the planetary surface. Such a weapon is capable of destroying the entire biosphere of a planet.
The choice to move the combat into a low orbit, therefore lies with Caldari Navy personnel and Tibus Heth.

At that point, it could be argued that the choice to continue the engagement with the Shiigeru actually saved many lives, as prior to the titan's destruction, after the failure of the primary reactor and primary vessel systems, the honoured Admiral jettisoned all ordnance high enough in orbit to cause it to burn up without the chance of falling to the surface and detonating.



In conclusion, While the Black eagles, a corporation who are universally mistrusted and feared both within the federation and without, could, potentially be classified as terrorists, this is an unlikely turn of events.
As for the rest of the points raised, simply... nope.

With you, there is no conversation to discuss. Any time someone tries to counter one of your "arguments" you immediately attack them, their political affiliations, race, or their ideologies. At this point we just cut out the middleman and **** post on your threads. Because, as able a pilot as you may be, on these forums you are irrelevant, inflexible, annoying, and generally unwanted. You could post a blank message on any given thread and all of us would be able to fill in the blank with the applicable propaganda you would have spread.

I serve the corporation. That's all you need to know and more than you understand. You claim Navy affiliation, but the corporation whose tag you wear is the dead skeleton of the Provists. We were thanked personally for our service by Admiral Yanala, this century's Tovil-Toba whilst you fruitlessly courted the praise of a dictator - and even there I beat you, since your hero personally intervened on my behalf in CBD legal proceedings and never knew your name.

You once had my respect.You kept my pity longer. I would teach you what it means to be Caldari, but first I would have to teach you understanding - a task beyond my patience.

Find me in space if you wish but don't expect the honour of any kind of ritual.

I pointed out that you had yet again misunderstood a term Diana.
You call me an idiot for attempting to help you understand your mistake.

perhaps you require a more in depth description.

The adverb consistently describes something that's done the same way for a long time.
- While not necessarily done all of the time, when performed, the action is repeated in the same manner.

The adverb constantly describes something that is continually done, without break or pause.
- When something happens constantly, it never stops or changes.

To be frank, calling someone an idiot because they have pointed out a mistake you have made and tried, in vain it would seem, to help you understand this does not shine a positive light upon your person.
If I am an idiot for being factually correct, then, by the simple expedient that you were incorrect, you must be worse.

It suits me just fine, being irrelevant in an irrelevant thread. My first experience with you was listening to you insult the Minmatar, and you have yet to prove you're capable of being truly civil. Why would I bother doing anything other than disrespect you? Your words don't warrant my respect.
