Well look at poetic stanziel attack ads are still in play.

Who he is is beside the point - it's an example of a company terminating a non-employment relationship with an individual as a result of political remarks, that in no way infringed on the rights of said individual.



In any case, I think the whole argument here comes down to this:

You seem to believe that, by denying a person anything at all for reasons identified as or connected to "universal human rights (speech/politicial affiliation/sexual preference/etc), regardless of its frivolity (which I feel is a fair assumption because, let's face it, when measured up against the **** people around this world go through on a daily basis, serving on an internet spaceship council is pretty frivolous), those rights are being infringed upon.

Most of the rest of us, however, tend to believe that infringing on those rights means actively taking steps to clamp down on or eliminate those rights, eg banning same sex marriage, jailing people for saying certain things, etc etc.

In other words, this whole argument stems from a fundamental disagreement over what it actually means to infringe on someone's basic rights. It's not likely to get resolved any time soon, though, and as it's rather late here in the US, I'm going to head to bed instead.

Yeah but can you imagine the splash ads against this guy it would have been hilarious

Yeah and a pretty penny made too with a PLEX for a splash ad.

CCP will just say he broke the EULA anyways, if he got elected.

I wouldn't be surprised if people vote for him just to see what CCP will do but with the brown nose 5 rule, they never have to have him in Iceland anyway.

Plus its starting to sound, a racist nationalist, doesn't really help in making lots of money.

Hopefully, CCP will find a dream candidate that will help push them to platinum status.

Ah nice one the Bismark was a **** ship.


I would have gone with Castle Wolfenstein with Fon's avatar, creating all the zombie ****'s.

Then shows an arm and hand in bioshock style, armed with an UN cannon of human rights taking down the **** zombies.

"Do we really want more of this on the CSM"
"A vote for Fon Revedhort makes you just as big an Ass":

Jim Carrey, Hee-Haw skit

Thanks for reminding me about hee haw.

Or show an ad, of H*tler throwing a poke ball, and Fon comes out to attack the brown skin sympathizers.

I've removed a racist comment from this thread.

Sorry I have no idea who Rush Limbaugh is.

.....and you are seriously trying to demonstrate a working knowledge of politics based upon experience ? Seriously ?

If you're not American I can see not having a clue who he is (let alone why his name would be invoked).

There is this thing. It's called Google.

Why the f*** do we discuss the real life views of CSM candidate?.

Ask him why he brought it up, why he used **** music in his PVP videos. We wouldn't have a clue about his "leanings" if it wasn't for him going out of his way to tell us.

.....and you are seriously trying to demonstrate a working knowledge of politics based upon experience ? Seriously ?

Boy, there sure are a lot of knuckleheads not understanding a single thing about 'rights' in this thread.

What is being missed (and dismissed) is the very fact that CCP is a business....NOT a government.

I'm sure throughout your life you have been in stores and restaurants that have a sign that says "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Anyone".

That is the fundamental right of any Corporation or Business.

If such an entity finds that a 'customer' or 'someone' that has simply entered their premises should not receive their services, they have every right to make them leave. They can also do this if they feel that entity will harm their business.

Now, if such a business develops a pattern of doing this, say to a people of a particular skin color, a lawsuit can most indeed be initiated against that business for discrimination against a particular class.

But if a restaurant, say, deems that a person 'smells so bad' or something, or has 'no shoes or shirt on' and that it will have a negative affect on their business, they have every right to refuse to do business with that person.

This is the way the world works folks.

CCP has every right to not allow someone to operate within the confines of their business if they deem it harmful....or for any reason they choose.

Now, if they said no Russians can run for CSM, that would be a different issue.

But not allowing a certain individual to run for CSM is absolutely not a violation of that person's right.

None whatsoever.

Ask him why he brought it up, why he used **** music in his PVP videos. We wouldn't have a clue about his "leanings" if it wasn't for him going out of his way to tell us.

Of course, Fon Revedhort should be allowed to be elected to CSM.

We're all playing in the internet spaceships game, right? So, CSM people give EVE community a "bridge" to devs. Give an ability for CCP to see players reaction on future game changes and give players an ability to know something more than devblogs by CSM minutes, etc.

Why the f*** do we discuss the real life views of CSM candidate? Are we elect a real goverment? No guys, it's still a game about spaceships... in the internet...

So it's completely wrong to sort CSM candidates by their not EVE-related preferences. All what is not related to EVE is not related to CSM (your Captain Obvious).

Such discussions and posts like 'do not vote for Fon, cuz he has specious views on non EVE themes' would produce the result, that we will have same CSM guys, who are not skilled pvpers, who were in real pvp 5 years ago last time, who don't care about solo\small scape pvp, don't care about low sec systems, etc. We will have same null-sec blobers.

These walls of blaming posts look like more as a try to use 'black' methods of election company, than as a real thing, cuz in fact normal EVE players don't care about real life stuff in CSM candidates, they care about the ability of this CSm member to do his job and make our EVE better.

Ask him why he brought it up, why he used **** music in his PVP videos. We wouldn't have a clue about his "leanings" if it wasn't for him going out of his way to tell us.

Knowledge of people in the United states has very little to do with the rest of the world. Take for example the stv system being used for the CSM, not made in america. For a good laugh at people from the United States and their limited views on the rest of the world look up the legal notices sent to the pirate bay. That sums up the fact very well that even professionals from the USA don't seem to realise there is a whole world that does not concern the USA.

I find it comical that you consider a knowledge of this rush Limbaugh person a requirement to know anything about world politics

You missed the law suits businesses have lost for refusing to serve people without a valid reason. Take for example African Americans in your country that have won suits based on racial descrimination.

So you might want to try that again.

I've been in bars here in San Francisco with plenty of British tourists who have actually discussed him. Next.

Don't denigrate the knowledge of whomever who lives wherever you are.
