Actually I think it is cruel to be so harsh. At 16, if he writes like this, he has serious learning difficulties. Give him a break. Nothing to do with poor public education system.

Okay. I rebooted my brain with a larger buffer and got through to the end this time. FWIW, DJ, it really would be good if you used full stops and paragraphs. I know that can be difficult so look at it this way:
* Any time you pause while writing to think what comes next add a full stop.
* After you've added four or five full stops hit return.
These are very rough and ready rules but they will make a big difference
Anyway back to the post. I've read it and I think you've been a bit naive in just grabbing what you thought was yours but I don't think that justified the way they treated you. I think you should take this up with the GMs as it seems way beyond what I would consider acceptable behaviour in a computer game.
Role playing a thief or pirate is one thing but being down right vindictive and taking advantage of a somewhat gullible/naive player is beyond the pale.

I think you're right. It also explains the incident somewhat. IMO that corporation has acted in a vindictive and exploitive fashion and they owe him recompense.

That would be like...  I sort of feel sorry about this guy but c'mon. Give away all your stash for them to "inspect". After taking "your share" out of corp hangers. I believe the word is naive

You reckon that might be where MARYLAND is?
Be careful where you point the retardo stick, else you may look up and realize it's pointed at you. 
I didn't catch the Marland bit (not that I know/care where Maryland is anyway. American state? Named after a biscuit? Yeah, that's all I need to know... >_>). I stopped reading after the 3rd line, also known as the point at my eyes exploded in an attempt to stop me reading to preserve my sanity.

Most likely true, though we will forgive you since it is obvious that the retardo stick is most definitely pointing to you.

I have to admit this was totally hysterical the first time I read it....but you have to give him some credit for trying to make people understand what he was trying to say.(tho it was largely unsuccessful) .
Yes, he was wrong to attempt to extort isk from his corp .... but maybe his brain is unable to use deductive reasoning. Therefore the impulsive and stupid decision of trusting them with all his possessions was logical to him.
He obviously has some mental challenges and tho to the majority of us it is very amusing, it is also very sad.
At least he is trying. Which is more than most.

Daniel's style of writing could infact be described as a 'stream of consciousness'. One of the more famous examples of this style of writing takes place in James Joyce's Ulysses. The final episode of Ulysses takes the form of a monologue uttered by Molly Bloom. The structure of the episode is intensely stream-of-consciousness, lacking punctuation and traditional sentence structure. We're taken inside the consciousness of Molly, and to do so is "to plunge into a flowing river."
"Stream of consciousness, in literature, technique that records the multifarious thoughts and feelings of a character without regard to logical argument or narrative sequence. The writer attempts by the stream of consciousness to reflect all the forces, external and internal, influencing the psychology of a character at a single moment. The technique was first employed by +douard Dujardin (1861û1949) in his novel Les Lauriers sont coupÚs (1888) and was subsequently used by such notable writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and William Faulkner. The phrase ôstream of consciousnessö to indicate the flow of inner experience was first used by William James in Principles of Psychology (1890)."

Your interpretation is wrong actually since you altered or failed to mention some stuff important for the overall story a bit, it should be like this :
They were about to kick him from the corp because he talked to someone in local that the corp didn't want to be associated with, so he went to the station and grabbed what he considered to be his share of the corp minerals. They told him to put it back, but he didn't want to unless he got some isk for it instead.
After some haggling they agreed upon a sum and he put the ore back. However, they didn't give him any money, and said they didn't believe that he really put everything back, and that he should trade them his station containers so that they could check their contents.
Then they still said they didn't believe him, and it all ended up with him trading everything to them (including a bunch of fully fitted insured ships).
After that, they didn't give it back.

Yes, but most people understand the Bloom monologue on the second read. Maybe Jackson has bitten off more than he can chew here? I agree it is a novel and brave approach but the concept seems to promises more than the realisation delivers.

Yup - that's how I read it as well.
It does look as though DJ has some issues either in education or human interaction. His actions in handing over the stuff are not those of someone acting in their own best interests. They are the actions of someone either browbeaten into submission or else incapable of realising the risks inherent in that action.
From what I can make of the posting it seems that his corporation took advantage of that. This is tantamount to beating up a cripple and those who took part in it should be ashamed.
I also think that the GMs (assuming they come to the same conclusion) would feel this is against the spirit of the EULA if not the actual wording of it. The purpose of the EULA is afterall to promote a healthy and enjoyable atmosphere and to protect people's real lives from the excesses of the game.
Exploiting another player's vulnerabilities in such an apparently underhand and vindictive manner should be investigated.
