Despite my general inflammatory attitude and borderline trollish behavior...
I believe I have finally found a CSM candidate worth voting for (if he is true to his word).
A person who is supportive of all playstyles equally has some common sense and the anti-elitism is quite refreshing.
I do have a question thus before I cast my vote certain...
Should CCP cater to gaining new players into the game? I don't mean government handouts of free isk in order to get new players started, but rather creating a more "newbie friendly" environment in hopes that subscription numbers will rise?
And to add on that question, are subscription numbers important to you? As in, do you feel like we should just keep the numbers small and EVE a niche, or would it be possible to expand EVE to persons once thought not part of the target audience thereby possibly increasing CCP revenues and theoretical development funds?
"Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".

That's simply a terrible way to approach any kind of issue, and not desirable for a CSM candidate.
Did he make an demonizing argument against James and his bumpers? Gankers? Or who? I tried reading a few threads back and my will to read has diminished greatly.

The more I think it about it... (I went back and read a little as much as I could tolerate) This whole debate about slavery reminds me of when Vice President Biden told a crowd of African Americans that Romney and Wallstreet was going to put them back in chains:

The republicans yelled and complained about being compared to slave owners and the talking heads on Fox news gnashed their teeth, but look how that campaign turned out. People moved on in a week and that wasn't a deciding issue in the election obviously.
Short of of a candidate saying that "Slavery was a great institution and the holocaust never happened, but if it did it would be awesome." (My girlfriend is Jewish and we take the holocaust seriously and holocaust denial pisses me off), you can't really make a big deal when they compare their opponents using such terminology to bad things.
I mean people on Fox news compare Obama to a certain Charlie Chaplin look a like dictator all the time and yet people still support that channel:

Where does the discussion about the post take place? Why should I (potentially) have to create yet another account on yet another random site in order to participate in only a part of a discussion? Why is the discussion promoted to fragment? It's not necessarily a wrong approach so much as a frustrating approach.
You should be aware that the CCP devs have a great deal of non-forum communication through twitter. A lot of stuff gets tossed around that never hits the forums.
Personally, I was oblivious to this fact as well until somone on a teamspeak I frequent explained they had asked a dev a direct question on the dev's personal twitter about something and got a direct response. Twitter is often a neat way to see what the invidual devs are up to or at least what's on their mind.
So in that regard even CCP doesn't have a 100% communication with the player base through the forums.
In the modern world there are many routes of communications.
