i blow up spaceships so i must go on to blow up buildings?

Riptard has done more to generate interest in my campaign than I have. LOL

The question is: should being an ass hole be a bannable offense?

What about burn Jita? Many tens of thousands of people think Goons are ass holes for burn Jita. Should we start banning Goons?

What about the "code" people that harass miners. They're plenty dickish and make people rage as hard as anyone else. Ban for them too?

I was once on a fleet, a birthday fleet for a friend. We were in lowsec, we tackled a venture. Told the pilot he could either sing happy birthday on comms to the birthday dude, or get his ship popped. He sung the song in comms, we let him go. Should we be banned too?

Yep, it does. Killboards, and all that. Including rewards for various achievements during the event.

Hell, I just realized that you're functionally arguing that sharing killmails is griefing.

Like a moron, I caved in to every single demand. I posted what they wanted me to say on goon forums. I sent silly apology mails, etc etc. You could say it was a taste of my own medicine notched up a bit. I felt this was the prudent approach, yet the onslaught against me continued and escalated, which led me to believe I made the wrong choice. I should have made a stand then. Instead, I took a breather from the limelight.

The "dirt" isn't even all that big of a deal, just downright embarrassing. Some years ago, I sold some resale rights stuff online to make some cash. Made some money, cool. Anyway, a guy complains. I look into it, see he's right, apologize and refund his money. I spoke to a rights owner and straightened things out.

Keeping aside from the slightly rabid arguements, one question keeps popping up that no-one has answered, that seemed pretty obvious to me.

A lot of people have asked what the point of the bonus room, when they already had his stuff (and attributing it to malice or perversion)

Well, that one struck me as obvious straight away. Wait for it, those asking the question will likely burst out laughing in disbelief, but bare with me.

Its legitimacy.

Yeah, you heard that right. Ero's shtick has always been that he is the only one who does exactly what he says he does, the only one who doesn't scam, doesn't cheat his marks. That is the point of what was going on - to make the participant give up, and lose, hence making the loss of his items due to the fact he backed out (right at the last minute, of course). Regardless of the circumstances of the matter, he is able to, every time, state truthfully that the 'loser' gave up. Sure, the guy never had a chance, but if Ero walked with the items at any point, before the participant gave up of his own free will, that undermines his whole ethos and reputation.

It was homemade pornography.

yes

mittens was treated as he was because he was a representative of both players and ccl and ****** up in the the same room as most of the ccl staff.

don get me wrong here , i was bullied as a kid, rather badly and find the bonus room to be somewhat disgusting but given that it docent break the tos or the eula....well then.

I would have worked to set clear guidelines that the alleged scammer knows what's kosher and what's not.

Hope and dignity, or just a bit of pride and ego?

Actually they don't forfeit anything unless they choose to.

Hope and dignity are internal qualities that no one can take away from you. How you feel about yourself is totally up to you. The same for pride and ego.

Losing a bonus room doesn't affect your thoughts about yourself unless you choose that response.

Can i claim that he is torturing me because his lack of intelligence hurts me physically?

Yeah I know he is....

Because I can? Because I have to at least TRY to have faith that the human race is not totally lost....

If anyone wants to help pod Erotica 1, get to Jita. We will be advertising the podding fleet in Jita local.

wow, the exact same thing happened in our sociology class a few years back, exact same!!
but add to it they didn't know who Gandhi and Che Guevara were..

That wasn't like, an offer to exchange real life goods or services for ISK, was it? Coz, that's against EULA.

This is the point where the witch hunt against Ero will become obvious, because regardless of Sokhar's vindication of Ero, the white knights will continue to hate him and find excuses that either try to assert Sokhar is still being coerced against his will, or that Ero has tricked him again. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if hate wasn't already in them, then they wouldn't hate. This has never been about Ero v Sokhar, it's always been about hate for Ero. That's it. That's the bottom line.

I'm repeating the argument for exposure. Every time someone posts one of these excuses, it becomes obvious they haven't read the thread and are oblivious to what is going on, so they get this reply. The purpose is one of convenience for the person posting more hate against Ero. It saves them from having to read the entire thread.

It is hardly a sin to be so generous with making information readily available.

Fair point. But still, it's all over but the twitching.

Where did everyone crying about damage control go? All I see now is fake psychologists and sour grapes.

No one came at Sohkar with a knife. He reacted emotionally to a scenario he placed himself in willingly. If he is a victim, he is a victim of his own choices. And before you go for the **** analogy, this has been addressed numerous times in this thread. Sohkar consented to everything every step of the way and AGREED no too long ago in the livestream that everything he did was with his consent. A **** victim doesn't consent to anything because if there's consent, then it's just consensual sex. Gittit?

Your **** analogy is just a sickening belitttlement of actual **** victims for the sake of vilifying an individual that you just don't like. And you want to call Ero wrong in the head? Get out.

I can blame Sohkar for the choices he made. Ero did not force him to do anything.
