On second thought, I think it is pretty clear where this alt comes from.
Judging from the media campaign Botox Bandits/Curse Coaltion are trying to wage (clumsily, I might add), it is safe to assume this alt is one of theirs.
Have you ever seen an official post by CC? Theres a reason for that... We speak with our guns... Find someone else to blame this thread on because he/she is not from our alliance.

Nice post, Konietzko.
Being a successful pirate isnt easy. My alt is a pirate, and quite an unsuccessful one... I don't play with him all that much, but I know he is unsuccessful because I keep having to transfer him ISK 
It was meant to be the other way around!
A very anti-pirate alliance...right? Doesnt surprise me that you smack about pirates but then turn around and do it yourself. Even worse you use money you make as an ISS member to fund your own piracy. Classy..

I wish it were like that, unfortunately for me I have to make my own ISK 
But my alt and me are very different characters, I like to try out different playing angles. I'm sure lots of people RP with different characters, its only a game after all :)
ohhhhh no.. your cant spin this one around. Butter Dog and your alt are still YOU... Your making money in KDF as an ISS member docking in that station rating in those belts. Its like saying "ISS doesnt support pirates but our members do". Classic...

I knew it wouldnt be long before Tyrell came on this thread in full force :)
Why you hate us so much 
We dont hate anyone..thats a strong word..
The point im trying to make is people in glass houses should not throw stones. You call us pirates (which we are not this is 0.0) yet you do it yourself and fund it with your own character. Its fine if thats a stand alone pirate character that makes his own money, but the very fact that you give him money and then spout all kinds of crap at us calling us pirates is just hypocritical.
Justify it all you want but claiming your neutral then using ISS member money and funding other wars (even if its your alt) is not neutrality.

Not even close ......... many people play many chars in this game ....... or are you saying
if Char A is a Pirate then when you logout and login with Char B has to be a pirate also.
Thats laughable ..........
Your logic is flawed, by the lack of it.
If you're going to quote me at least read what im saying.
1. Char A and Char B are the same person.
2. Char A is in an alliance that claims neutrality to all.
3. Char A sends X ammount of isk to Char B to buy everything he needs.
4. Char B is a pirate who shoots everyone because Char A cannot.
5. Char A can no longer be neutral as he directly funds Char B.

Ok, maybe you dont understand how this is hypocritical so ill give you an example using someone else.
Lets say i am a director in ATUK, and im very vocal on the forums and i defend my alliance. Suppose now i accidentily let slip that i also have an alt in PA. This alt will go ahead and shoot anyone and everyone. Up to an including allies of ATUK just so i can experience both sides.
Now, i let everyone know on the forums that I have an alt in PA and i have shot at and probably killed many people who have my main character at blue. Are my allies going to say "oh, thats ok you're just role playing another character". Or, are they going to be ****ed off that you're playing both side of the fence.
On top of all this now they find out that with my rich main character in ATUK i supply money and ships to my alt so he can go off and kill his allies. Should they be ok with that?
You see, you're trying to seperate your in game person from out of game person. You have many corporations at blue (you call it neutral) so they dont disrupt your business/services. At the same time you take with you main, you give money to your alt and go around blowing those people up (even the ones at blue). Now you claim your alt is in no way connected to your main, yet you get moeny directly from him and you dont go pirating in places that directly effect your main character. Your personal out of game bias towards your main and towards ISS is how your deeply connected with that character. You are, like it or not, the same person and thus what you do with one directly reflect the other.
Your right its your isk you can do whatever you want. You can be a pirate you can be a potato or a mushroom it doesnt really matter. But to try and disconenct the two characters and distance your actions which directly conflict with what you stand for is the very definition of hypocritical.
