Now that we have this sorted, we come to the outright absurd behaviour of the Eve community at large today.

I see uninformed arguments all over the place now. People throw as much a pitchfork-tantrum here as they would do in Hello Kitty Online Adventures should the company ever decide to stop selling pandabear pets in NPC stores. Because if you were informed, you would have come to the same conclusion as me up there.

Some people choose to remain uninformed, eternally ignorant towards logical argument and their own fallacies. Why? Because protesting is fun, guys. It's 2011. I see analogies to Greece and the Middle-East all over the place here. Massive fleets in EVE are forming up right now to spam the channels. Screw reasonable thought, inspired by global revolutions we now have our "DEY WANT TO TAKE OUR FREEDOMZ" moment and we're going to make sure this continues late into the night, because this sure as hell beats doing lvl4 missions in a droneboat! In short, this is what's known as bandwagon behaviour.

There's also a second class of people manifesting today. They're the so called rage-quitters. Found excessively in all communities, they suffer from unwarranted self-importance by assuming that anyone gives a damn if they just post they're going to quit. Which, by the way, they're not. 90% of all rage-quitters will return within a week. They just wanted to feel, you know, special. Like throwing your toys out of the pram, but after a while you'll want them back. When no one's looking. Silently.

The third category of people I see here today are the types I like to label as "herpderp no u, noob" people. They carry no arguments with them. Instead, they rely on rhetoric that doesn't delve into the point at hand, but is personally aimed towards the opponent. Phrases such as "you're just a fanboy" and personal insults which includes, but is not limited to: "die in a fire." These sorts of 'threats' then often culmulate into heated exchanges, with a now famed example being some random self-proclaimed important person threatening CCP personnell, and finding herself banned on all accounts. Rightly so.

So with the above, I've accurately summarised today's EVE community (with exceptions such as those who agree with me) as ragequitting, swearing bandwagoneers. Congratulations, you're not an exceptional community. You fit the norm and behave exactly as expected.

The expected response to this is: "so your definition of intelligent is taking it up the rear by CCP?"

The answer is: No, I simply know the difference between actually having something up me and being reamed by a non-existent object. The latter being the case here today.
