Personal opinions regarding how sick I personally would have to be do to what was done, or how awful the guy this was done to must feel right now - Something awful has in deed gone on.
Personal attacks were launched at various people using in-game emails and chat (against EULA), and it went way too far.
While we might all harbor a fair amount of predatory behaviour in so far as blowing up each others ships, I'd like to think I'm not in danger of someone - out of the game - trying much the same thing.
This isn't about "Getting Mittani to step down" nor "Getting Mittani Banned" this is more about "CCP Making a ruling on this kind of metagaming". The CSM will do whatever it wants to do in this situation in order to recover whatever of its' own face/perceptions among the players as it can.
The real issue here is what does CCP think about all of this? Will/Can they make some kind of ruling here? They should in my opinion be prohibiting this kind of behaviour out of the game between players.
I actually don't want Mittani banned, much as I really dislike this kind of guy - he's the guy we love to hate "in game". I think the game would lose something if he WAS banned.
However, CCP needs to come off the fence. They by now know damned well what has gone on and what a LOT of people think about it. This isn't even an issue for CCP to go to the CSM about - unless the CSM is now the body in charge of ruling on whether someone has broken the EULA or not.
So what's up CCP?

I agree completely CCP really needs to get off the fence before this gets worse. Also yes it would be a shame if Mittens was banned from the game. They really need to stop this kind of behavior, it was an out of game threat, I for one don't really want those to be acceptable.

The rank and file Goons are still trolling the complaints as they have not followed Mittans and just stayed quiet on it.
Mittans may step down but i would never want to see him banned from the game Standing in for Karn Dulake who was banned for saying bad words |

Agreed, I don't particularly like his kind of personality - but I wouldn't want to see him banned. I love playing eve, I'm sure everyone else does too, I know I'd hate being banned, so I wouldn't wish it on him either. It's a pity his mind doesn't think that way when it comes to others.
It's more about a war on the behaviour, not a war on mittens as far as I am concerned. My EVE YouTube Channel |

Much like the CSM campaign, every hisec publord feels the need to have their own rage thread, rather than colsolidating them into one meaningful thread. |

He should be arrested. He went live on CNN and threatened to kill a dude, then flashed a knife in front of the camera while giving out the dude's name and phone number. |

I think it would be a mistake for him to step down tbh, it was a gaffe certainly, and probably having a few too many at the time maybe didnt help, but there does seem to have been a disproportionate reaction, after all, everyone knows by now, or should, what Goonswarm do, half the stories we read about are usually some escapade they've pulled off, and doing that takes a certain 'mentality' which Eve would be worse off without. Call it the nominal bad guy, whatever, i doubt whether the guy involved was really as suicidal as he professed or he probably wouldnt even have been playing, more than likely it was a sob story just used to try and escape a bad situation.. either way, the whole thing only looks bad from the outside, by that i mean people who dont understand Eve, sadly it just gave the media, and certain websites the excuse to run a bad rep story, on what is probably, one of the more 'colourful' personalities in the game. Would have been better if had happened off camera... the bad publicity could have been avoided, but, given the subject, it was kind of inevitable. |

Well it's about the Mittani in the way that Jackass movies are about the Mittani.
