By unlocked this thread, you have set democracy back into motion.
Everyone did get a little out of hand, but I am glad you saw reason.
Every post in this thread shows that Dovi is the true TEST candidate, even if we are bad posters.
Precluding the initial outburst of our love for Dovi, we may now show our love with good posting, and content.

Like the Erlking in Goethe's famous poem, the maleficence of CCP D Mod's newsgroup postings can sometimes be imperceptible. The purpose of this letter is therefore to expose the picayunish nature of Mod's musings and let you draw your own conclusions about Mod's motives. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that as that last sentence suggests, for the nonce, Mod is content to shackle us with the chains of Zendicism. But faster than you can say "photodisintegration", he will initiate a reign of infernal terror. More to the point, his confidants say, "The future of the entire world rests in Mod's hands." Yes, I'm afraid they really do talk like that. It's the only way for them to conceal that Mod should stop protesting against his weaknesses and shortcomings. Rather, he should forgive himself for them and seek to strengthen himself by facing his twisted fears. Then, perhaps, Mod would stop peonizing and enslaving his rivals.

Whenever I hear Mod's satraps witter on about how the world is crying out to labor beneath Mod's firm but benevolent heel, I interpret this poppycock as an implicit request for chemical treatment of their rampant (and generally unacknowledged) Asperger syndrome. It's not necessarily the case, as Mod maintains, that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions. On the contrary, Mod's language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: Whatever happened to Mod's sense of humanity? A clue might be that there are lots of weepy, wimpy flower children out there who are always whining that I'm being too harsh in my criticisms of Mod. I wish such people would wake up and realize that thoughtful people are being forced to admit, after years of evading the truth, that I have been right. I was right when I said that this is neither a document written in anger nor something I am being paid to write. I was right when I said that Mod's insipience disgusts me. And I was right when I said that Mod's hirelings have been running around recently trying to leave behind a wake of reckless reaction. Meanwhile, Mod has been preparing to place our children at imminent risk of serious harm. The whole episode smacks of a carefully orchestrated operation. If you ask me, Mod screams and cries whenever he's prevented from meting out harsh and arbitrary punishment against his adversaries until they're intimidated into a benumbed, neutralized, impotent, and non-functioning mass. I claim that if he stopped acting like such a big baby, maybe then he'd see that the spectrum of views between Maoism and Dadaism is not a line but a circle at which disreputable vermin and wanton, delusional parasites meet. To properly place Mod somewhere in that spectrum one needs to realize that Mod's eccentricity is surpassed only by his vanity and his vanity is surpassed only by his empty theorizing. (Remember his theory that he can be trusted to judge the rest of the world from a unique perch of pure wisdom?)

Mod is not as purblind or fickle as you might think. He's more so. This is not the same as saying that his calumnies will cause more harm than good, although that, too, is true. He sees the world as somewhat anarchic, a game of catch-as-catch-can in which the sneakiest used-car salesmen nab the biggest prizes. Since I have promised to be candid, I will tell you candidly that if society were a beer bottle—something, I believe, that Mod holds in high regard—he would indeed be the nauseating bit at the bottom that only the homeless like to drink. Allow me to explain. A free and open society should be able to tolerate a diversity of beliefs and practices, even when they are at odds with his virulent philippics—perhaps especially when they are at odds with his virulent philippics. Over the years, I've enjoyed a number of genuinely pleasurable (and pleasurably genuine) conversations with a variety of people who understand that I call upon the entire free world to suggest the kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this important debate. In one such conversation, someone pointed out to me that I believe in "live and let live". Mod, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his antics but endorsement of them. It's because of such prissy demands that I contend that if natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most genetically unfit members of a species then he is clearly going to be the first to go.

Mod's sermons should be labeled like a pack of cigarettes. I'm thinking of something along the lines of, "Warning: It has been determined that Mod's tirades are intended to use paid informants and provocateurs to cause pain and injury to those who don't deserve it." What kind of loser wants to dominate the whole earth and take possession of all its riches? A loser like Mod.

Mod wants me to stop trying to oust him and his profligate, gutless operatives from anywhere we find them undermining everyone's capacity to see, or change, the world as a whole. Instead, he'd rather I hang myself by the neck until dead. Sorry, but I don't accept defeat that easily. I was thinking about how he's a pathetic excuse for a human being. And then it hit me. I can't possibly believe Mod's claim that he can carry out "preventive operations" (that means "targeted killings") against his foes and get away with it. If someone can convince me otherwise, I'll eat my hat. Heck, I'll eat a whole closetful of hats. That's a pretty safe bet because Mod pretends to have the solution for everything. In reality, he creates more problems for the rest of us to solve.

Chairman Dovinian has a ring to it.

Seems like a nice guy who understands EVE and knows what the majority of the player base wants.

Good luck with your campaign.

Phantom beeping out.

I put quite considerable effort in to my post, it addressed the frankly poor and boring post, and asked "How
do you think you're getting elected when you talk like that", seeing as the CSM for player/dev communication, much
of EVE should be concerned about things like that. Communication skills are vital. There are many beep beeps, of
many with no content you still decided to delete my post despite the small paragraph I provided, a massive
nerd like myself tends to ramble on.I've explained what beep beep is, I'll tell you what censoring that is, bag of dicks
if you'll excuse my French, I understand your position, but other posts on CSM threads say "I support this dude" are you deleting them?

to keep this on topic, Dovi what do you think needs changed about supercapitals?

Also, the wonderful thing about the forum format is that posts are never scrolled off like a chat room.

It stands to reason that, were someone inclined, they could use their eyeballs to distinguish between posts that they consider relevant and those they consider irrelevant. And since, due to the format, no posts are lost, the reasoning given for summarily deleting previous posts (terrible though they may have been) is lacking.

OK SERIOUS QUESTION TIME!:

Dovi, as a CSM Candidate how do you propose we limit terrible terrible pubbie corps from wardeccing decent, tax paying Nulsec Alliances then camp the Jita undock all day and the major roads? Do you agree they are the lowest form of scum in this game and should be prevented by a game mechanic from doing this?

With CCPs new advertising and website aimed at pulling new people to Eve how should we deal with the growing pubbie menace?

Will you campaign for a new gameplay mechanic that will make it easier for me to smite my enemies upon the ruin?

*BEEP* *BEEP* to support Dovinian.

Eve made a lot of progress and some set backs in recent years. Dovinian can help CCP screw up a little less, and that is why I am voting Dovinian.

On a more serious note: What are your views on NPC nullsec, and their effects on the sov-holding alliances with which they literally ~hobo~ space from? Should a re-examination of NPC controlled space in 0.0 be something to look into?

One thing that was mentioned in the CSM6 notes was a potential ability to disable NPC station services. This is an idea that should be further investigated and improved on but it's a way to possibly directly affect NPC 0.0 residents. We all know how hard they can be to deal with at times, removing their ability to repair their ships and update clones might make them consider another home. I'm not 100% convinced this is the correct approach, but it's at least one idea.
