I'm not saying that hurt feelings automatically means you get to beat someone up. I'm saying that every action has a consequence and that an internet bully shouldn't think he's safe from those consequences just because it's the internet. Push someone for long enough or hard enough and they will want to hurt you. That's human nature. And if you then arrange yourself to be in the same general area (Iceland) as the person you remotely pushed for long enough, you shouldn't act surprised if he takes a swing at you. There comes a point where you have it coming.
If this actually happened, the person taking a swing would be in the wrong, whether his victim 'had it coming' or not. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Perfectly justified.
Your ideas of what justifies violence concern me somewhat. As an autistic person who got bullied a lot all throughout school, I can tell you now, that kind of violence would be nothing but a display of the attacker's lack of self control. In fact, this whole thread should now be locked for inciting violence against an individual. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Sure, if you're a masochist.
But you were non specific, either way. My concern stands, whether you find pleasure or justification in real violence, you are a concern. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

I have not said the act of violence is justified. I said my laughing and applauding an act of retribution by a victim against an individual who has griefed and humiliated them above beyond the civil context of the circumstances those have occured in, is justified. If that is a "concern" to you, that is your problem. Not mine. Deal with it. Also, I dont think "masochist" means what you think it means.
Actually, I looked it up to check before I used it. It means what I think it means.
I also clarified that your taking pleasure from the violence is just as concerning. As it would be to any reasonable human being but, what you're saying is that you would applaud the violence? Then you are inciting it, and that's just as concerning.
You are quite the concerning individual. Please avoid having children and stay away from other peoples' babies. Thank you. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Not to mention you have no business telling people to stay away from children or babies, but I don't expect an autist to have the necessary social and empathic capacity to recognise that. Glass house, pot and kettle, all that. I would not bring your mental condition up otherwise, but your direct inference that I should for some reason not be allowed near children based on anything I have said here is incredibly offensive, and I attribute it to your lack of understanding of normal social graces, owing to your condition.
I'll give you the masochist/sadist thing, but, the next thing after that was a lie. You did indeed say that. Don't make me link your post again.
As for autism, what makes you think it's concerning? You call it a mental condition but, seeing as how it's a genetic one and the mental states that are associated with it are comorbid and not a direct result, there isn't a psychiatrist in the world that calls it a mental condition. No, I don't have a condition. Come back when you're more informed on what autism is. Especially the part about high-functioning autistics like myself tending to have rather keen insights and, you know, coming up with things like the theory of relativity and all that.
You can TRY to strike a nerve on me with something that you perceive as a weakness, but it comes across as little more than prescriptive retaliation, having little else other than "I didn't say that" when you quite clearly did. It's almost like a broken record with you. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Just wanting to make sure I have this straight.
Quote:
Suspension and Ban Policy
Though we have made every effort to anticipate all the possible circumstances we may encounter as caretakers of the persistent world of EVE Online, there issues may arise that we had not foreseen.
...
Therefore, this document should not been seen as all-inclusive, but rather to give our players a general idea of the guidelines we follow in dealing with these or similar cases.
...
3. HARASSMENT - Severe offences may result in an immediate ban without warning; however, warnings may be given for first time offenses, followed by account suspensions of varying degree and ultimately a permanent ban if a player:
a. Is abusive, obscene, offensive, sexually explicit, ethnically or racially offensive, or threatening to another player or an official EVE Online representative. b. Uses role-playing as an excuse for violating the guidelines regarding fair play with others.
There is your justification. As I said in another thread, it takes no mental or semantic gymnastics to fit everything Erotica1 did in that box. There is nothing arbitrary or vague about a ban stemming from the behavior being discussed here.
What's good for one is good for all, and if Erotica 1 gets banned for harrassment, then Sokhar needs to be banned for being threatening to another player. That's the bottom line. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

So no matter how hard you pretend to be a bad dude, we know better. Uhuh... I'm a nice guy, and so is ero. The entertainment he offers pleases hundreds. Including several members of TDSIN.

John Carmack isn't an aspie and just sold out for 2b real life cash like any red blooded American would.
What I'm saying, if you were to understand the gist of it, is that generally speaking, aspies are not what you think they are. Social dysfunction is only one trait, and not all aspies exhibit it to the same degree, if at all. To call someone 'aspie' as a derogatory based on preconceived ideas of what Aspergers or autism are is not only an insult to them, but one to your own intelligence. Especially if you actually think you're clever.
Cuz I'll guarantee you most aspies are much smarter than you. So if you don't want to get done for discrimination by piling all aspies into one stereotype, stop using the word to pile them all in together. Thanks. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Sorry, bro, they're pretty much on the short end of the stick, evolutionary speaking. This is pretty much all eve players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbfBjo-Mw6U
This is pretty much a derailment of the thread, but, what you just said amounts to a few things. The first is a display of your own complete stupidity. This stupidity you have was confirmed when you started 'agreeing' with your own posts without switching toons.
The second is that you're a discriminatory sack of crap, but I still wouldn't hit you if you said it to my face. I'm not the retaliatory sort, as you appear to be.
The third is your complete lack of understanding of what evolution is. This is a little challenging to confirm, though, because you may be saying this for a couple of reasons: one, you're a moron and don't know what evolution is, or two, you intended to create butthurt, in which case you're trolling and breaking the forum rules, not to mention discriminating (against the EULA), making personal attacks, and a few others.
I'm not going to watch your video. I've been autistic now for thirty years, and while I'm on the highest functioning end of the spectrum, I can assure you there is a spectrum. There's no possible way to put all autistic people into the same set of traits.
Now, I understand you're a bit upset that I blocked your attempt to PM me in game, because as far as I'm concerned, if you make a public statement you can cop the public backlash for it (in other words, don't be a chickenshit), but this is no way to go about mending your hurt feelings. I suggest you try not being a **** in the first place.

One sentence for your non-optimal selected evolutionary phenotype: You think I responed to my own posts on accident with the same character.
Carry on being a virginal man child. I hear that really does wonders for surviving evolutionary wise.
And I think that you think you're actually getting an angry reaction out of me. And you seem to be enjoying it, or you would have stopped by now. But you're mistaken, in any case. I was making observations, while you are flinging insults like a monkey flings its poop. It would help your case more if you didn't do something, then claim not to, as if it was an indication of someone else's error. It would help your case more if you, like so many highsec pubbies, were capable of taking responsibility for yourself. But you're not, so I don't believe you did that posting with the same character intentionally, but even if it was intentional, your persistent wilful ignorance of autism and evolution still make you a moron, and your continued assumptions about me confirm it, as does your continued discrimination.
But don't worry, one day you'll have an autistic child and be forced to eat your words, cuz you're 'obviously' not a virgin yourself since you consider not being one a badge of honour. Am I right? While your assumption about me is incorrect, however, I sure do wish I was still a virgin. It would have saved me a fair deal of complications throughout the last decade of my life.
I'm pretty sure though that you'll never have children. The first people to reach for the "you must be a virgin" line as if it's a bad thing are just jealous virgins themselves, and think that's a bad thing for them. Just like a liar always expects other people to be liars.
One last word of advice. If you wish to continue being stupid, ignore this TED discussion.

It seems that people like to come to EVE to be the opposite of what they are outside of game quite often.
Stay calm, stay civil, and remember this is just a game. Ok, now I have to backup like 7 pages as this thread is growing faster than I can read.
Bit too late buddy. Should have apologized on page 1. Maybe would have avoided the permaban. Certainly would have avoided my humble efforts to spread the story far and wide, and reporting this to law enforcement, as I should....
Don't know if you've noticed or not, but it looks to me like Ero is right here and not banned. Let's not be hasty with our conclusions, shall we, and as I have pointed out prior, if Ero broke rules enough to receive a ban, then so did Sohkar. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

No, anything you have to say to me, you can say here. I deleted that mail the moment I received it, then blocked you from any in-game personal communications with me. It's a personal policy of mine.

Naivete at its best. He doesn't really understand a lot what he claims so very meretriciously to be an expert about... on display.... naive ultimately.
I've been working in journalism for three years now sweety. CNN ain't the best journo's around. And this isn't cyber bullying because Ero wasn't following Sokhar around and/or harassing him against his will. Sokhar went to Ero. Sokhar CONSENTED. I know your type well, you hang out in little echo chambers like FTB and just want everything you don't agree with banned, trying to justify it all as something morally wrong and throwing words like 'naive' around in reference to people who you perceive as being lesser than you. The world doesn't work that way.
Sokhar had the choice from the very beginning to walk away. Sokhar had the choice from the very beginning NOT to hand over his assets. He made the exact opposite CHOICE, completely CONSENSUALLY. The word for the day is 'consent'. If you give consent, then it's just not bullying. If you give sexual consent, it's not ****. If you invite someone into your home, it's not forced entry.

Yeah, Erotica1 can sue CCP in Iceland. GL HF.
Once again, let me repeat for the third time that if CCP takes any action against any perceived 'bad behaviour' then it would be poor form for them not to take action against Sokhar's violent threats. REGARDLESS of how emotional he was. A crime of passion is still a crime, people still go to jail for it.

This is a witchhunt, straight outta the 16th Century, run by the 'morality police' like a religious inquisition. The saddest, most funny part is...switch some database numbers, log in a different toon, and suddenly this controversy gets flipped on it's head. You know just as well as I do, if it were a +5.0 pillar of the community good guy pulling the same scam on a lowlife gankur, there'd be high-fives and backpatting galore.
I know. I've known it since this thread went up. The hate against Ero was well established long before this. This is just the spark that lit the 'outrage' of the community. They were waiting for it, though, and as soon as it came, they pounced. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

No, and I'm getting tired of this analogy because it demonstrates the user's lack of brain capacity. A ****, by definition, is non-consensual, and DOES NOT APPLY as an analogy to something where EXPLICIT (not implied, not implicit, EXPLICIT) consent is given. Stop frothing at the mouth and start using your ******* brains people. Or did they all come out dissolved in the froth already? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

No, we're not. The victim in this case was a victim of his own choices. A **** victim doesn't get the choice, that's why it's called **** and not 'consensual sex'.

Big Lynx wrote:My closing comment:
id like to quote a comment from Evenews24:
For the people who think that this behavior is excusable because the victim continued voluntarily and could have disconnected any time, your logic is flawed for several reasons.
1.) You fail to understand how psychological manipulation works. The more a person is invested, the more difficult it is for that person to stop. Erotica 1 completely exploited this. 2.) Erotica 1 never intended to follow through with his promise and therefore the victim's participation was precipitated on a lie. This is the very antithesis to "voluntary". 3.) The victim certainly had no idea that this was going to be broadcast all over the internet to further the humiliation. I think it is pretty easy to surmise that such information might have changed the outcome.
Lastly, even granting that yes, despite the above, he physically could have disconnected at any time, it does not make this behavior OK. Even if this was a reasonable outcome given the culture of Eve, it does not make this behavior OK. The actions of the victim can not justify the abuse. It is not OK to abuse a person just because that person may have made himself vulnerable to such abuse.
closing quote from me: Ero you should have stopped after getting his isk. Live with the consequences or get a better human being and see it as a lesson. Try it mate, it is not so hard to let go of a false point of view. It could be very refreshing to admit that one has made a mistake. However, that needs a bit of an integrity and mature personality that I am missing by reading your comments. poor you.
Because Evenews24 says it so it must be true.

That would probably only matter in Sharia law but, people can claim what they want, it doesn't make it true. The actual physical evidence, where the question was answered, actually outweighs the anecdotal evidence. Testimony that is wrong... I believe you call that perjury?

Ero1 definitely conducted "harassing behavior" outside the scope of normal gameplay, and the victim made threatening comments. Both of them should be banned. The only person to use threats was Sohkar, I have listened to the sound clip from start to finish. Erotica 1 never raised his voice and never threatened anyone, was not obscene, did not harass, was not abusive or defamatory. uhhh.... did you miss the part where he linked the soundcloud on EO forums? If that ain't defamatory i don't know what is
It's not defamatory because it doesn't identify a real person to defame the reputation of. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

According to you,
Slavery is consensual. Slave can always walk away right? Domestic abuse is totally OK. Wife can always walk away right? Sex trafficking is OK - the girl can awlays refuse to work.
Its funny how predators always try to justify their sickening actions. And they never mention the consequences for 'walking away'.
Let me spell it out for you.
If a person is threatened with losing something by walking away - that's coercion buddy. Whether it is physical safety in case of ****, or life in case of slavery, or internet isk, its irrelevant. Coercion is coercion.
And to do this to a vulnerable person....
Sickening.
There is NOTHING that separates people that do this from real-life pedophiles, rapists, murderers and slavers of the world.
And people like that should all suffer the same punishment IMHO.
No, I never said that. I never said slavery is consensual, because it's not. You made that up. A slave doesn't place himself into slavery of his own free will, and hand over his freedoms and rights of his own accord. Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.
I never said domestic violence is consensual, because it's not. You made that up. A victim of domestic violence, physical or otherwise, doesn't place their self in the path of an abuser and say, "hit me, abuse me, make it hurt!" Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.
I never said sex trafficking is consensual, because it's not. You also made that up. A man, woman or child that doesn't want to work in the sex industry isn't going to go and apply for a job in it. Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.
I never said any of what you claim I said, and you are blowing things out of proportion. At NO point did Sokhar not have the choice to walk away. Of course, the mindset required to make that choice would have prevented him from handing his assets over in the first place. Now, I've got you on putting words in my mouth and blowing things out of proportion. Now to seal the deal on your utter inability to achieve rational perspective. The following is the stupidest thing you've ever said:
"If a person is threatened with losing something by walking away - that's coercion buddy. Whether it is physical safety in case of ****, or life in case of slavery, or internet isk, its irrelevant. Coercion is coercion."
If said person hadn't willingly handed over his assets, and they'd been taken from him without his consent and used for coercion, that would be coercion. If he gives them away himself, makes that choice, then it's no longer coercion, it's consent. It's also not real property. It doesn't exist. It's all code and pixels. He lost nothing to be actually coerced with. You do understand the difference between virtual and real, don't you? Cuz if you don't, that's your problem, and probably the source of your confusion here.
I'd put the most likely source of your confusion, however, down to emotion. Your mouth froth =/= righteousness. I think a few victims of real predators would love to tell you a story or two about how predators actually work.

No it doesn't. Sokhar showed a lack of self control. All it takes is a little personal responsibility and you'll never use racial slurs or death threats no matter how angry or upset someone 'makes' you. There is no justification for death threats, threats of violence, discriminatory speech, etc. None whatsoever. I'm happy to imagine that you ban every corpmate that uses any death threat, threat of violence or discriminatory speech on coms immediately. But I admit that's just as much of a straw man argument as yours. Were the things he said wrong to say? Yes. Would he ordinarily go around saying such things? I know you can't claim that he would just as I can't claim he wouldn't. Who pressured him into a position to say those things and cause his wife to have a panic attack at what she perceived as unusual behavior? Erotica 1. If a corrupt government official uses all the rules available to him to harass you, to strip you of every last piece of security you have, all within the letter of the law, and all of a sudden you go off cursing at him, he's still the bad guy.
No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying, and have been saying forever, is this is a vendetta against Erotica 1, and has been from before this incident ever occured. The hate was already there. Now the community has concocted a reason to be outraged at her, and everyone is so passionate about condemning him, but who of those people are condemning Sokhar for his vileness? If Ero gets a ban, so does Sokhar. If Ero's in the wrong, then so is Sokhar. It doesn't matter if Sokhar wouldn't normally say those things, that only makes it worse because it shows his complete lack of self control. That's his problem, and his mistake.
Do you know what a crime of passion is? It's still a crime, and it still lands you in jail. Just because you were emotionally pressured into killing someone, doesn't mean you get out of jail because it was the fault of the person who emotionally pressured you. That's NEVER an excuse. NEVER EVER.
I don't support Ero nor do I condemn him. I'm just pointing out the utter hypocrisy of condemning Ero and pretending like Sokhar did nothing wrong.
If a corrupt government official uses all the rules available to him to harass you, to strip you of every last piece of security you have, it doesn't matter, because that analogy would only apply to if CCP were the ones harassing Sokhar, since Ero has no authority over him and can't take his stuff by force. You people really need to go learn some critical thinking and how to create appropriate analogies. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Yes, it is. Legally, the person being defamed has to be identifiable and explicitly referenced for it to pass as libel or slander, and it has to be demonstrable libel or slander.
If the person being defamed is not identifiable, then no one is really being defamed, are they. Because their name has not been identified, so how can it possibly effect any reputation under that name? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

That number represents sociopaths.[citation needed] You should not infer you are effed up. Your difficulty in understanding is not caused by a sociopathic lack of empathy and understanding. Most likely its caused by a phenomena known as psychological distance.[citation needed] Many people believe that things should be black and white, either or, for or against.[citation needed] The real world does not exist in a binary fashion, it is analog with spaces for instance between 1 and 10.[citation needed] As we approach the mathematical extremes of either, or these binary measurements, marked by the extremes, mathematicians notice a lack of certainty that continues down to the quantum level. Our current conclusions are that there are no absolutes but that is of course subject to change by the very principles that describe this situation.[citation needed] Back to psychological distance. Did you ever wonder why sniping and kiting and large fleets are more popular than brawling and solo? In killing there is a human need for psychological distance.[citation needed] Firing at a superior's or Fleet Commanders order is fun. Dropping a bomb from 30000 feet is easier than strangling a man eye to eye.[addendum: this is due to ts convenience, not psychology] Shooting an enemy from a hundred fifty k is easier than a one on one kiting and kiting is emotionally easier than charging full on toe to toe with blasters.[citation needed and addendum: kiting and sniping are tactics used to mitigate risk, again, not psychology, just smart] The same goes on in real life in wars. The most emotional damage that's treated in VA centers are from men close enough to open up a victims wallet after a kill and seeing pictures of a wife and children.[citation needed] Emotional distance nearly ceases to exist at this point and unless your[sic] part of the sociopathic natural killers, you will be effected.[citation needed, murder is not a pathology] The same is going on with the softening of gender boundaries that the world is experiencing. Whereas for centuries the distance was so great that a man or woman might never in a lifetime be confronted with gender confusion, the probability that it will happen as went up many fold. If it happens accidentally or is forced on a person the confusion and reaction will be greater than if it is sought consensually in something like mutual friendship as it appears the three of us at least have experienced.[don't even know what to do with this paragraph, if it can even be considered one] But to put yourself at a closer emotional distance, I can only think to ask you to imagine "putting the moves" on a member of the same sex and after considerable involvement "discovering" that the person your[sic] with is not the gender you think. Now I know many gay females that would act extremely violently if they encountered a phallus by surprise. I've also personally witnessed young men at a bachelor party reacting by several jumping from a multistory window, several more retreating to the bathroom and the barrel, more than several embracing the situation and participating anyhow, Several curling together sobbing in tears that they were gay and yet several more committing suicide over the next couple years.[anecdotal testimony: dismissed] So do[sic] to personal experience I have to assume this either isn't your first dance and you've settled with what your[sic] comfortable distances are, male or female, gay or not.[assumption, possible false dichotomy: inconclusive] Decrease your current emotional distance and I think you'll start to see why you empathize with E1 is that your mistaking a lack of abuse by E1 at a close distance with an act of kindness. By playing EVE, you are a victim of... Stockholm Syndrome[citation needed]
So, since you like writing essays, I've gone through with a little constructive criticism that might help you improve the quality of this particular piece. As short as it was, it was a relatively easy read but with various confusing statements. Some of that confusion arose from poor spelling, but assuming this is a draft, we can let that slide for now. Your grade will suffer if you don't fix it though.
Many of your more specific claims will require citations. I've marked a number of those. There are a few logical fallacies in there, and a few statements that you've made that could have alternative explanations, examples of which I've provided for you. A good essay is exploratory, and should examine alternative explanations before forming a conclusion, otherwise your conclusion can be waved away when someone else reviews the essay and provides those alternative explanations.
Also, be careful using Wikipedia as a source. It's a nice starting point, but it's not actually acceptable resource for citation. There are plenty of citations that you might want to explore on the Wiki pages themselves, and I strongly suggest that you not rely on just one source. Generally, I suggest a minimum of ten sources from students, but if you were publishing, a list of sources can and should extend to a page or more, at least, to show you've done extensive research. These sources should not just be read, but cited within the article itself where relevant to show that you've actually used the information in those sources.
Since you seem to be falling behind a little, and given the attempt you've made thus far, I'm prepared to grant a 24 hour extension for your final submission. I know you can pull off a better quality final draft than this, so let's see it. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Fact is a significant number of military personnel commit suicide, as well as police, Fire, and Emergency Responders... and it sure as hell ain't because they are in physical pain.
Oh you mean you fell for the mainstream media's misinterpretation of statistics?
I've always stood by that statistics is one of those under-taught mathematical niches in school, so, I won't hold that against you, or even the media. But, here's a little something to help clarify why statistics alone don't provide conclusive information. Statistics require analysis, analysis that wasn't performed on these particular statistics. Here's a paragraph that highlights the results of an analysis:
Los Angeles Times wrote:Many experts believe that the farther a veteran is from military service, the less likely it is that his or her suicide has anything to do with his or her time in uniform. In other words, many older veterans are killing themselves for the same reasons that other civilians in the same age group kill themselves: depression and other mental health problems coupled with difficult life circumstances.
Another example is the gun nuts who quote reported violent crime rates in Australia being higher than they are in the US. They are relying on statistics for the conclusion that a country without guns has higher violent crime rates than the country with guns. The fallacy here is the lack of analysis. In Australia, flicking someone in the ear is considered a violent crime. In the US, it's not. Also, this statistic relies on reported crimes. In Australia, people are less afraid to report a crime than they are in the US, where corruption and power trips are more common in the police force. So naturally, in Australia, there are more violent crimes reported, as well as a wider range of violent crimes to report. But it's not because there is actually a higher rate of violent crime.
Quote:Fact is a significant number of military personnel commit suicide, as well as police, Fire, and Emergency Responders... and it sure as hell ain't because they are in physical pain.
I'm sure that is a fact. But, the question remains. Is it because they are in the military or emergency services, or is it because of other reasons? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

How many of them killed themselves because someone took their pixels and laughed about it? And again, your neanderthal mind misses the point. Everybody has different emotional triggers, but the fact remains, emotional pain is real, and can be far more deadly and traumatic than any physical pain. There is a reason Waterboarding exists instead of just dunking somebody into a pool of water.

I didn't **** on anything. I merely showed you why statistics alone don't prove anything. This is how rational people think things through. Your 'marine' buddies will probably react just as emotionally as you, but if you clear your head and put a little thought into the matter, you'll see I'm right. I understand, cognitive dissonance is a powerful drug. But eventually, if you don't admit you're lying to yourself, it'll eat you up inside and just breed more hate.

Written by a guy who never served anyone but himself. You have never done a day of public service in your sad little life because if you had you would never stoop so low as to dismiss the service that these men and women give us. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could choose who to give service to on an individual, merit type basis. My feeling is that you would be dialing for help until your fingers bled.
You wouldn't have the first idea what I have and have not done with my life. This is just more unsubstantiated mouth-frothing forum diarrhoea brought to us by our good friends 'moral reactionism' and 'cognitive dissonance'. I didn't dismiss the service they've provided. Please quote the exact point of anything I've said where I dismiss the service they've done. I didn't even address the service they've done, did I. I just asked you a question. Are people in the military or emergency services committing suicide because of their service, or because of something else? It's a fair question. One that I'm sure is easier for you to dismiss because actually answering it would require you not to be angry at me anymore, right?
Of course, you're just enjoying being angry at me, aren't you. There are many out there who enjoy being angry at me, and they all fall into similar categories: science denial, reality denial, irrational perception and perspective, etc. The list goes on. You have a lot of catching up to do, though, if you're trying to make me feel bad about something I haven't actually done. You're talking to someone who experienced guilt trips from family and friends his whole life. I'm pretty resilient to them now. I don't have any reason to explain myself to you other than the hope in humanity I have that your mind is actually capable of some rational consideration of what I've presented to you.

Something that should be done whether suicide exists or not. It's unfortunate that it took suicides to bring the issue to anyone's attention. The question remains, though: are people in the service committing suicide because of their service, or for something else?
If you can't even bring yourself to ask this question, and just assume you know the answer, then you are no better than the creationist who claims the earth is 6000 years old and no amount of evidence will convince him otherwise. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Why don't you go ahead and share some of your own analysis with us instead of the people you puppet to make yourself feel smart. Go on we'll wait.
I'm not parroting anything. I provided an article that demonstrated actual rational criticism of a conclusion formed from statistics. The source is irrelevant, it's the content that matters and how well formed the argument is. If this exact same article had been produced by the Daily Fail, word for word, I would have linked it from there as well. The bottom line is, it's asking a hard question, but a relevant question. I suggest you find the question difficult because you might be afraid of the answer, or the question itself conflicts with a preconceived but unsubstantiated conclusion.
I'm not trying to substituted my intellect with anything, either. Even the smartest people in the world still cite their sources. You think Richard Dawkins, one of the most cited authors in history, doesn't cite his work? Doesn't work with knowledge established by other? No, crediting the work of others is more important than one's pride in their intellect. If anything, it demonstrates intellectual honesty - I didn't think of this question, someone else did, and I'm not going to pretend it was my idea.
I don't need to provide my own analysis because a perfectly acceptable critical analysis has already been done. What you are asking of me is therefore intellectually redundant until a conclusion can be drawn from the existing analysis, which I'll bet my bottom dollar you haven't even read. This makes any analysis I make doubly redundant, since I'll bet every dollar after my bottom one that you wouldn't read that either. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

You sir, with your uncanny ability to refer to other people who may or may not be analyzing statistics are a true gem.

Why don't you go ahead and share some of your own analysis with us instead of the people you puppet to make yourself feel smart. Go on we'll wait.
I'm not parroting anything. I provided an article that demonstrated actual rational criticism of a conclusion formed from statistics. The source is irrelevant, it's the content that matters and how well formed the argument is. If this exact same article had been produced by the Daily Fail, word for word, I would have linked it from there as well. The bottom line is, it's asking a hard question, but a relevant question. I suggest you find the question difficult because you might be afraid of the answer, or the question itself conflicts with a preconceived but unsubstantiated conclusion. I'm not trying to substituted my intellect with anything, either. Even the smartest people in the world still cite their sources. You think Richard Dawkins, one of the most cited authors in history, doesn't cite his work? Doesn't work with knowledge established by other? No, crediting the work of others is more important than one's pride in their intellect. If anything, it demonstrates intellectual honesty - I didn't think of this question, someone else did, and I'm not going to pretend it was my idea. I don't need to provide my own analysis because a perfectly acceptable critical analysis has already been done. What you are asking of me is therefore intellectually redundant until a conclusion can be drawn from the existing analysis, which I'll bet my bottom dollar you haven't even read. This makes any analysis I make doubly redundant, since I'll bet every dollar after my bottom one that you wouldn't read that either. You are a sophomore aren't you? It must be that. You know just enough to impress the girls, but no enough to see how stupid you sound to those with life experience and higher education. We don't need to use our knowledge as a bludgeon, we are accomplished in our own right. On that point I will say good night because you aren't worth my time to educate, at this point you know it all. In a few years you will see how much you don't know and then you may remember my words.
Again, you're making assumptions about me based on assumptions about me. You're assuming I don't have life experience, or higher education, and I'm not pretending to know anything. I asked a question, based on an analysis of statistics, and you got your panties in a bunch and pretended to know something about me. It's not my problem if you don't like the question, it's also not my problem if you don't like me or how I presented the question, and I don't have to tell you anything about me or explain myself. Who I am, my life experience, my education and intellect, it's all entirely irrelevant to the question. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

A sandbox. The 'sandbox' analogy is trite, overused and does not answer the question.
Yes it does. It answers it perfectly. It's not even an analogy, it's an actual conclusive answer. I don't think you even know the meaning of the word analogy.
You want civilisation? You can make one, cuz it's a sandbox. You want competition? Create it, cuz it's a sandbox. You want fair play? Balance it, cuz it's a sandbox. You want social cooperation? Create the content that requires it, it's a sandbox. You want a clown show? Then stage one, cuz it's a sandbox. The 'character' of the game is created by the players. I don't need anyone to conform to crap because I'm playing my own game with my own goals. You should try doing that yourself and stop trying to get everyone to conform to your 'infinite moral superiority' and you might enjoy the game more.
The question itself is poorly phrased, because it limits EVE to only a few possibilities, but EVE is more than you give it credit for. That's why you fail. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

For your little sadist circle to laugh about some very serious issues facing the service men and women is not cool. Especially since EVE Online is where a large number of them choose to spend their free time.
But keep digging.
Unless those issues don't actually exist except in the minds of people who misinterpret and fail to analyse statistics. Sorry, but uninformed opinions can be dismissed without consideration. You have failed to produce a point worth considering, you are merely attempting emotional blackmail against your intellectual betters. Jealousy? Inferiority complex? I don't know what your problem is, I can only make guesses myself, but I suggest that you do have a problem, and it's yours alone to deal with. The Secretary of Defense knows when the men and women he Commands have a problem in their midst. There is a reason we started having suicide briefs every ******* month. Something that should be done whether suicide exists or not. It's unfortunate that it took suicides to bring the issue to anyone's attention. The question remains, though: are people in the service committing suicide because of their service, or for something else? If you can't even bring yourself to ask this question, and just assume you know the answer, then you are no better than the creationist who claims the earth is 6000 years old and no amount of evidence will convince him otherwise. IF you want a citation explaining the current understanding of PTSD, War Trauma and the like, consider reading or even just browsing??? On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
Books aren't citations, and I'm not going to guy spend my money on a book over this. I know a fair bit about the subject already and I agree, there is a psychological cost to being responsible for the death of another human being. However, I've asked a question, based on analysis of the statistics, that so far I've been riddled with abuse for. I believe it's a fair question, and would like to know if you agree it's something worth contemplating.
Are people in the military or emergency services committing suicide due to their service, or is it because of other factors?
This is an important question to answer. If the answer is because of their service, then something about the service needs to be changed. If it is because of something else, then we need to focus our efforts there. If our efforts for change are not focused in the right place, these people will continue committing suicide. Nothing will change. It's like putting the wrong man behind bars while the actual killer continues to walk free to kill again. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

However, as a risk, the perception of it is worse than the reality. How many games of online MMOs are played everyday around the World. It must be in the tens of millions of people online across all MMOs on a daily basis. Yet even though gaming has this air of risk associated with it, there aren't people killing themselves over games. The actual risk that this may occur is so small that if you were to risk assess it properly, it wouldn't even register as low. It's much too small to be managed as a problem. we've gone straight past killing ourselves as a result of what happens in games... we have humans killing themselves BECAUSE they are playing games for too long (as in not drinking/eating while playing for some crazy amount of time)

You can't base everything around what the mentally unstable fringe might do.
That's a good point. Although is it an accurate comparison? The WoW deaths I've heard of have always been due to some pretty hardcore addiction, and not the result of a player being antagonized in some form. Let me ask you something: what is a billion isk to you? To me, its a nicely fit T3 or two. Or maybe a blops. I've eaten those types of losses before. And honestly, so has much of the eve community. When I lost that much isk, I didn't cry, or yell, bang a desk, or threaten someones mother in impotent rage. To me, someone that demonstrates these symptoms has a problem. Maybe even a hardcore addiction as you say, idk. The point is, such a person is not well adjusted, and you can't base policy for a community of hundreds of thousands based on the response of the mentally unstable fringe. Just my 2 isk.
I lost a 1.7bil pod yesterday because of a mistake I made with the UI. Hadn't been podded for ages before that. It was a shock to the system, I won't deny it.

Perharps it is time to had in the EULA a article about psychological harassment... Making it about something as unabashedly subjective as that, is fraught with peril. That being, it's a stupid idea. I have a stack of saved evemails that would enable me to ban/blackmail nearly everyone who sent them. I know other "griefers" keep similar trophies. And so? At first do not forget that there is a difference between scam and psychological harassment. Taking advantage of greed, stupidity, ignorance, and so on is a thing. Pushing someone to depression, self-disgust, perharps suicide is another. Yes it is difficult to judge and the GMs will have hardtime. But the EULA should give them the possibilty to do something. Before someone die and its family attack CCP in justice... people kill themselves every day. while that is a sad thing to see happen... if someone kills themself over a few pixels then they probably are doing the world a favor(not trying to be coldhearted here just honest)
Not trying, but succeeding. Suicide does no one any favours, particularly their loved ones. You think they're useless people just because they have a little trouble with perspective? That's not honest, that's a lack of understanding. Those people, while perhaps useless to you, are loved by someone. It's true what they say, the internet creates impersonality. I doubt you would be saying such a thing if it was one of your loved ones with perspective issues.
People who kill themselves over video games is not an indication that the game needs to change, though, it's an indication that they already needed help. If a game is enough to trigger it, then somewhere in their life there are bigger issues they are grappling with. Nothing kills perspective better than emotion. Depression, for example - I suffer it acutely from time to time, it comes and goes - makes you feel like there's no point to anything. When I'm not depressed, not emotional, I can see that my problems are relative non-issues to what other people are struggling with. When I am depressed, and emotional, I don't see that. Everything becomes about what I'm going through.
This wasn't just a coldhearted thing to say, it was a perspectiveless thing to say. I would suggest that you are having the same problems with perspective as anyone that might kill themselves over a video game. Your suggestion that these people would be doing the world a favour is an insult to humanity. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Indicate the harassment and damage to CCP's reputation then. Because if there's damage to CCP's reputation based on false reports of harassment, which is what this is, then CCP's best avenue is to actually sue for libel. If this is reported as cyber bullying, and if that damages their reputation, then CCP can easily demonstrate Sokhar's consent to the whole thing, negating the charge of cyber bullying entirely and getting compensation out of people who claim that CCP are at fault and that they 'condone' cyber bullying by virtue of not caving to the demands of an emotionally charged public and the subsequent irrational witch hunt.

I really think you need to look at the precedent set on that harassment clause. CCP is VERY loose on it. This is by design. One of their game trailers focuses on taking revenge for actions that happened a year before for god's sake. Harassment is harassment. Harming CCP's reputation and the reputation of EvE is harming CCP's reputation and the reputation of EvE.
You're saying that as if either one of these things has occurred.
But since you mention harassment, I say again, if Ero is banned for it, then so too should Sokhar be banned for it. Don't make the mistake of thinking he's pure and innocent here. Unless you're just on a vendetta against Ero of course. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

In real life, people choose to go to casinos, even though it is well established that mathematically, the house always wins. It is a loosing game, but greed or other motivations lead them to choose to play. So too here. Every step of the way, the "victim" had a choice. He chose to get his isk doubled, though he suspected a scam. He chose to enter the bonus room. He chose to read the articles provided to him. He chose to sing. He chose to leave. He chose to return. He chose to threaten. He chose to leave again. He chose to return again. You can disagree with his choices, but they were his to make every step of the way. At every step he could stop. And he did, not once, not twice, but thrice. You can say that E1 manipulated him into staying and returning, but that disenfranchises the victim in our analysis. It removes his agency as an actor. You turn him from being a human being to being merely cattle, and I do not believe that is the case here. My opinion of the victim is not so low. At any given moment, we all have at least one choice and the truth is that more often than not, we take the wrong turns... I do not think this should be about the victim's choice but the actions of the perpetuators and whether one considers them 'normal behavior' or not. The rest is gossip... If you think this behavior is 'normal' then... I rest my case. For you and all the rest that condone these actions, including Erotica1 and the gang, all I have to says is: what goes around comes around...
What behaviour? What's normal? Sokhar's choices are entirely relevant and far from gossip, and he's as much if not more a perpetrator as anyone else. The analogies that have been flying around lately have been ridiculous but let me attempt to clarify with one myself.
What Sokhar chose to do amounts to the same thing as someone who shoves his **** into a hot pie to see what it's like, and gets it burned. He made the choice, now he has to deal with the consequences of that choice. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Do you have any evidence to suggest that Erotica's intention was to harm another player? I've known Erotica 1 for quite a while and I believe he has no intention of harming anyone. I've often been quite surprised by his compassion, showing sympathy in situations where I didn't. If anything, Erotica 1 is more of a scapegoat for all of our antics. Erotica 1 is the figurehead and organizer of the operation, but everything that happens in that room aren't his own ideas. The 'mayo pic' episode, well people had their information wrong about that, so I thought people were referring to something else. It was actually peanut butter, not mayo and it wasn't even Erotica's idea. That was actually my idea, except I wanted him to use a marker pen (this was in retaliation to one of Erotica's rivals, who had one of his victims make a sign pic for him. We wanted to out-do him). The client didn't have a pen and ended up using peanut butter. I'm not sure how that happened, but I remember the client was enjoying himself. He was one of the happiest clients I've seen in the bonus room and he was just there for enjoyment. He knew he was likely to lose his assets and he didn't care. Great client all round.

Yep. I'll take that bet.

EDIT: I will happily forward 1 bil to Chribba for this bet immediately, if you do as well, pending evidence that Riot Girl and Ero 1 are two different people. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Ive had my say but the only way you are going to stop this type of behavior is to stop scamming. Its the scamming part that causes people to act in the way they do. If scamming isn't banned then this will continue to happen to many other people, and in fact thinking about that makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I am surprised what lengths people will and have gone to for virtual money. Scary really..
What kind of behaviour? Let's pretend for a moment that Ero did in fact engage in bad behaviour.
Welcome to the internet. Welcome to online gaming. Welcome to THE HUMAN RACE.
Ban scamming - solve nothing. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

But hey, you've already picked your side, so keep right on posting! The threadnaught needs more repetition!

I'm sure if you ask nicely E1 can link you some of the recording of people who have won.

You have to make it possible to win otherwise people will not fall for the bait. If this is true, this line about the victim being an idiot is wrong, because the scam was not merely some 'give me your isk' request but a cleverly crafted and targeted Con. Therefore even more damning to Erotica 1.

The only solution that could arise from this is to rate every online game as R18, since anything could happen in an online interaction between 2 people. Alternatively you could just do what parents should do & control what your child has access to. I do control what they have access to, but still believe this is a correct action to take. The ratings on this game need to take into account what actually happens in the game. I have provided them (I would be shocked if others haven't as well) evidence and at the very least they will be informed and that's the first step. I think CCP could end this now by doing what is ethically and morally right, but that is their decision to make. So let me get this right. You want CCP to ban someone who has broken no EULA or TOS rules. Someone who asked a willing contestant to read out the code, a few wikipedia pages and to sing two songs, one of which from a disney children show. Is this what you are asking them to do? baltec you are over simplifying what happened and the root cause. This was a scam that turned into something that no one deserves to be subjected to. All the other sementics (he could walk away, etc.) is academic to me, erotica was wrong, his action repugnant by any standards (even the lose eve moral norm) and it should not be tolerated.
If he was 'subjected' to anything then he subjected himself. Y U NO UNDERSTAND CONCEPT OF CONSENT??? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

I hear a guy manipulate somebody to intentionally humiliate him using in game leverage with false promise and going public on top of it. You got to be a total douche not to even consider it as something wrong. I could care less about lost pixels but if I read that they use this chat room in a way that can harm people and intentionally set everything up to dodge ban hammer then no matter what some twisted individuals think this is a case for outrage and I'm glad that at least part of this already ****** up community is able to pull they eyes out of their ass and realize that things went too far. Go chase a kangaroo and stop acting like wrong is ok because it's cool.
"Oh, hey, it's an Australian!! Quick, think of something funny to say about Kangaroos!!" How original and witty of you.
Just, go have a think about everything that's been said about consent, which because you've ignored it you'll have to go through the thread and find it, and then have a think about what you just said. Because if Ero went to far, then so did Sokhar with his threats, racism, etc. Why aren't you this passionate about banning him as well? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

A few weeks ago, I got doxed by players in this game. They sent a mail to my personal email, mentioned two of my family members by name, and passively threatened me to leave them alone with a smiley face at the end of it.
I petitioned it, but was told that external evidence cannot be used and is even harder to link to in-game entities. I was told not to discuss it with anyone, and I shouldn't, but now it's important that I talk about it.
If I'd forwarded that email to a game site, or Jester, or someone, on the substantiated belief that the person who doxed me was a dangerous individual and a threat to the community, would that random unknown player, someone not known in the community at all, be under the same scrutiny that Ero is now? No.
The whole lot of you high sec dwellers would all be telling me, 'haha, serves you right, you shouldn't mess with people who don't want to pvp." I've shared the information and in-game identity of the player in question with people I trust, so that they know to watch their backs. I've been forced to close Facebook, email and YouTube accounts and various other accounts around the internet that I'm associated with. But if I'd shared the evidence with Riptard, what would he make of it? Do you think he'd post it in one of his articles about how EVE is dying because of the meanie scammers and gankers? If you're saying yes, then you're wrong: the player in question is an afk miner with five accounts and hubris up to his earballs.
I'll tell you something that no one in the New Order, Goons, or any of these groups that you all so hate with so much passion would never do. They'd never dox you. They'd never threaten your real life entity, and they'd never use your family as leverage.
Want to hear the scariest part? This person actually contacted my mother on Facebook to tell her she was an awful person for raising such an arse of a son. You know what she did?
She called me, apologised for being a horrible mother and cried for three hours before I calmed her down and reminded her that I'm an adult and it's just a game they're talking about. By the end of the conversation, she actually understood what EVE is about, she understood the nature of the game. She's 55 years old and gets this game better than half you 15-20 somethings curled up in your little safety bubbles in highsec do.
Do you know what I did to the last person who made my mother cry? I drove a two-tonne truck straight at him, slammed on the breaks when I realised what I was doing and stopped it with him pinned between a bullbar and a garage door. He was unharmed, thank ****, because I would have been entirely responsible for any injury he sustained. And I would have ACCEPTED that responsibility for my EMOTIONAL reaction.
My point is, the vile person who doxed me and did that to my mother, he's still playing this game. He's out there right now, thinking that what he did has no consequences. He's gonna do it again. Does anyone care? Probably not, no, not until it happens to you anyway.
You think Ero did something wrong here? I submit to you that the most evil people in the game are the carebears who would like nothing more than to foist him on a stake.

No, I don't. Anyone that thinks themselves 'normal and healthy' is delusional, however. We've all got our demons.
But on that line of thinking, I told that story because I knew someone would bring that up as if it was a bad thing, and it's relevant.
Were Sokhar's abusive, homophonic, threatening, and racist remarks 'normal and healthy' in your opinion?
If I'd harmed this man, it would have been a crime. I would have been responsible for his harm, regardless of how emotional I was. The same applies to Sokhar. He is responsible for his own choices. But all of you are so quick to condemn Ero, but just blatantly dismiss Sokhar's reaction as justified because 'Ero made him emotional'. What the **** ever, guys.

What? It works for you to just state 'wrong' without clarifying. I can play 5th grade "you're wrong and I'm right" as well as the next person.
Here's a real challenge for you though.
You say I'm wrong.
Prove it.
For the record, my arguments have been presented both with and without observations made of the person arguing with me. Or, what you call 'insults'. You can ignore the arguments and focus on your hurt feelings all you like, but that would be...
wait for it....
a logical fallacy.
You love pointing out logical fallacies, don't you. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

No, this is ABSOLUTELY about him personally and has been since before this thread existed. People here weren't born yesterday. If this wasn't just about Ero, and about 'activities', then Sokhar would be copping it as well.
You have lied, demonstrably and repeatedly, throughout this thread. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I definitely believe you when you claim to be a lawyer. But you're not a very good one. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Yeah, I can see it. Don't play coy with me. I found all the posts where you said you would enjoy seeing physical violence applied to Ero as well and could link all of them right now to demonstrate your depravity, which would also demonstrate your hypocrisy while you sit there and call anyone depraved yourself.
You are a liar, and anyone with a modicum of reasonable sense on this thread can see and has seen it plain as day.

Do you have any idea how often, every day, I'm accused of libel? Let me introduce you to a little site I write and provide sources for sometimes. No, I'm not the author of that piece, and you won't get any personal information on me from that site because I publish with a pseudonym. Anyway, that's what we call actual, real, legal advice.

Actually.... no, no it wouldn't. That would be dementia. Do you deny that you have testified here to having driven a two ton truck at a man, therby pinning him against a wall to within an inch of his life, with an initial intent to kill him?
Yes, I deny that. I never said anything about my intent. Are you trying to claim I had an intent? I seem to remember making it plain as day that what I was doing was an emotional reaction. As far as I knew, he'd just caused my mother serious harm. My intent was non-existent: I was reacting without thought, how could I have an intent without thought?
And he wasn't within an inch of his life, he was completely unharmed. Unharmed isn't within an inch of life. Like, not even any bruising. The guy was scared shitless though and we never saw him again.
Do you know what I don't deny? That I acted irrationally and without thought. Do you know why? Because I'm capable of taking responsibility for my choices, even the ones that I leave to emotion. As any sane, not-at-all insecure person is capable of doing.
Why is this relevant? Did you have a point? Were you going to attempt to address my character again based on your terrible reading comprehension skills? Because my point was to demonstrate why ignoring what Sokhar did or brushing it off as 'justified' demonstrates that this is just an irrational Ero1 witch hunt.
So, make your point. And try to make a good one this time lest you never be taken seriously on these forums again.

The point, you missed it. Because I'm not you, here's why you're missing the point: No one is defending what Erotica 1 did. What they are saying, is that Erotica 1 has not broken any rules. Therefore, calling for him to be permanently banned from the game based on his actions, which while beyond bad taste did not break any rules, is akin to requesting people to be banned because they did something that some other people don't like, regardless of whether any rules are broken or not. I await your snarky one liner which I'm sure will deliver your points in a clear and coherent manner. Actually there are plenty of forum scum here defending what Erotica 1 did.....

Nope, prove intent to injure, could those people have moved out of the way at any point?
Whether he could have moved out of the way wouldn't apply to my guilt if I'd caused harm. I would still be entirely responsible for the harm caused. The bottom line is, though, no harm was caused. As far as he knows, I meant to stop the truck where I did. And the results were better than I could have hoped for, the prick had been putting my mother through all kinds of emotional blackmail and I wanted him gone. Not dead, gone. I've never wanted anyone dead in my life. I wanted him gone because he was a threat to my mother, and that is all.

Many have called for far worse, and have both condoned and expressed their desire to see harm come to Ero in real life. It is a witch hunt. And the people calling for mere bans are ignoring Sokhar's much-more-banworthy offenses. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Sittining in the middle doing nothing looks a bit weak no matter what they think.
If you're talking about the carebears hauling pitchforks up to Ero's doorstep, then yes, CCP needs to start cleaning up this thread. Better yet, lock it and be done with it.

There should be a temp ban for the sucker (victim ,self inflicted ) for the racism , and threats that followed. Why the lesser punishment .

The bonus room shenanegians involved coercion by holding victims assets to ransom. The bonus room was done in a teamspeak which belongs to erotica1 or his freinds.

Crumplecorn's point remains, and so does the little issue of there can be no coercion if the 'victim' hands over his assets willingly from the very beginning, and continues to consent to everything throughout the entire process. He even managed to leave at one stage, and then he willingly came back. Sokhar was ENTIRELY responsible for all his choices the moment he handed over his very first isk. Not to mention virtual assets aren't real, they are virtual, which means that nothing exists to coerce him with. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Sittining in the middle doing nothing looks a bit weak no matter what they think. If you're talking about the carebears hauling pitchforks up to Ero's doorstep, then yes, CCP needs to start cleaning up this thread. Better yet, lock it and be done with it. Because no behaviour has been worse than that on display in this thread by the carebears with the pitchforks wishing for harmful things to befall Ero IRL. Not even Sokhar's. Really. It shows how completely worthless the forum moderation is around here. Broken rules generally get threads locked, usually on the flimsiest of pretenses. IE: A thread gets trolled by asshats. If CCP just 'doesn't like' the subject because it puts them in a bad light - BAM - thread locked for trolling. On the other hand, of the mods LIKE the topic - "Hey, lets allow 260 pages of hate slamming Erotica 1 as a pretense for nerfing his playstyle!" - Well, then rules don't matter and the ISD's are directed to go on vacation. Trolling, hate, personal attacks, this thread has it all. But guess what, its still chugging along. CCP Falcon and the forum mods have really shamed themselves here and deserve any lack of respect hey have earned. I have to disagree on this one point. Our forum mods do the best they can, and this is one thread that (for a variety of reasons) I would be reluctant to touch with a 10' pole. The moment they close it or delete posts they will be accused of "choosing their side" and "censoring the truth about this outrage" and all sorts of other childish nonsense. I don't blame them for letting people get it out of their system first, and then dealing with it when people begin to start thinking rationally again.
Based on their experience with the forums, I would say this is exactly what they're doing. It makes sense. I've called for this thread to be locked but, given that very reasonable explanation, I have changed my mind. Keep it open, let them froth at the mouth for a week then deal with the issue when everyone's cooled their heels a little. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Nope, prove intent to injure, could those people have moved out of the way at any point? He proved it himself in his testimony. He accelerated the truck at the person with intent to harm, then "realised" the potential consequences, and hit the brakes. His intent changed in the process of the act, the latter replacing the former Nonetheless the initial intent is proven. Fortunately for both of them in time to not cause bodily harm to the victim. Furthermore, having the intent to cause someone harm, is not a crime. Acting on it to the result of harm, is. Nonetheless his initial intent is clear from his own words. The resulting intent as fulfilled in the resulting action though, is also illegal. It is not legal to deliberately drive a two-ton vehicle towards people and pinning them against a garage-door with it. And no, whether the victim can get out of the way of someone deliberately driving their vehicle at them, is not material to the perpetrators actions being illegal.
Okay, Salvos, we've been over this already. You didn't prove anything about my intent with my testimony because it revealed nothing about my intent. You can't reveal something that doesn't exist. Any conclusion you form regarding my attempt is based on assumption. But, you are still ignoring the point I made and continuing to fail to present a relevant one of your own so, I guess I was right about you being an incredibly bad lawyer.
I bet you're the 'lawyer' that has to get everyone's coffees in the morning. Am I right? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

There should be a temp ban for the sucker (victim ,self inflicted ) for the racism , and threats that followed. Why the lesser punishment . He was under self inflicted emotional duress, which was not completely under his control as his assets where being held to ransom , by that he had to play or loose everything he built up in his eve carrier .

The bonus room shenanegians involved coercion by holding victims assets to ransom. The bonus room was done in a teamspeak which belongs to erotica1 or his freinds. Erotica1 set it up with the intent to focus on humilating people , not avatars not just to scam. The scenario of what went down was under his control as he was the one giving instructions .

This is just so far left field that I don't know where to begin. In order to force someone to do anything, you have to deny them a choice. Ero did not deny Sokhar the choice to hand over his assets to begin with, so your analogy is invalidated right there. Also invalidated automatically by "Grr Goons".

"Torture is the systematic and deliberate infliction of acute pain by one person on another, or on a third person, in order to accomplish the purpose of the former against the will of the latter."
Erotica1 inflicts systematic and deliberate acute psychological pain, through means of several hours of subjecting the victim to demeaning and humiliating tasks alongside harassment and insulting from himself and his peers, in order to accomplish their purpose of causing the victim to leave the situation, against the will of the victim to fulfill the Bonus Rooms demands for the reward promised in the contract of the Bonus Room between the victim and the perpetrators.
It is not necessary to be restrained or prevented from being able to remove oneself from the situation, for it to constitue torture, and in this incidence, it is exactly that which the perpetrators are leveraging against the victim.
An analogy would be a wife remaining in an abusive relationship with a husband who inflicts upon her systematic and deliberate acute psychological pain, because she knows that if she files for divorce, all the assets, including the house, would remain in the property of her husband, as they are in his name. What the husband is doing to her, though superficially enabled by her remaining, nonetheless constitutes torture, as he is accomplishing the purposes of his will, namely of her remaining there for him to torture, against the will of the latter to leave the situation, as he knows full well she can and will not because then she is homeless and destitute.
Comparing real world assets with real value to virtual assets with no value.
This is the highest quality of argument supporting the assertion of torture regarding this case.

No agreement is required because those things you claim happened, do you have any evidence of them occurring? Because no one ever lured anyone anywhere for mayo or peanut butter pictures, and no one asked for those pictures. The mayo one is an unsubstantiated rumor that you've come to believe (read: a lie that you've swallowed hook, line, and sinker), and the peanut butter pic was given voluntarily by a fan, with no way to identify who was in the picture.
Learn to be a bit skeptical, dude. Do you just believe everything you hear or do you just believe this stuff because it suits your bias? I think you want to believe it to be true because it provides you with validation for your hatred. You just enjoy hating Ero.

There is no such thing when you are purposely applying psychological torture to a person and prolong it for hours, then posting the recording on the internet. Even if it took place out of the game, it is still related to EvE by the assets which started it all, so there is no denying that CCP should take action. From what we've seen so far, I trust them completely to apply common sense to the problem and act decisively. And I might add here that usually when there's so much quietness coming from CCP, the decision will be properly hammered-in, so to speak.
I would also recommend Erotica 1 to take up an appointment with a psychiatrist, and this is in no way an attack, but a really friendly and concerned suggestion. In-game tear extraction is different from the out of game (but game-related) harassment and this should be a concern to anyone, especially the developer.
You talk about science in your sig, but science is a privilege and a gift given to us by people capable of rational, critical thought, dialectic discussion and argument and debate and built up through the centuries against great dogmatic adversaries.
You have demonstrated none of the virtues that science, throughout history, has excelled in. You have jumped to conclusions based on a preconceived bias like every other pubbie on a witch hunt in here. You don't deserve science. But thank the stars you get it anyway, and thank the people who put in the work, the blood, the sweat, the tears, the jail time, the brain power and the centuries, to provide it for you. Maybe, if you applied some reason to your conclusions, you might actually be worthy of what science provides. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Just because a victim shows vulnerability does not make Erotica 1's sadistic ploy and his disgusting mental torture justified.
Being vulnerable is not an offense to anybody. Taking advantage of the vulnerable for your own sadistic pleasure is.
This is why Erotica 1 needs to be cast away from this community until a time that he can establish himself to be reformed and rehabilitated by a certified health care professional. I'm pretty sure sokhar is gonna be crossed if he finds out you think he's a vulnerable little victim. I believe he's a grown man with a job as air traffic controller and a wife who loves him plenty. Again, get your facts straight; asking someone to sing is NOT TORTURE in any way shape or form. Dropping N-bombs and refusing to speak with someone from African descent = racistt. Threatening to kill someone = mad. D.  The discussion is not and never was about Sokhar. We are not discussing the victim. Yet you continue to mention Sokhar, and casually continue to drop bits of what you hint is real life information into your posts. If you'd like to reach the Erotica 1 standards of psychopathy, please do go ahead and continue acting like this.
It's important to mention Sokhar. He's no more a victim than he is an instigator. Do you think his racial and homophobic slurs and threats of violence were justified? And who are you, what are your qualifications and where is the diagnostic report you've prepared that any psychological diagnosis by you should be taken seriously? You don't scare me.

No, it's a stupid idea that will be rejected by any rating agency out of hand. You cannot rate online interaction because for one, it complicates jurisdictions. Additionally, by law, and by practicality, ratings can only apply to existing created content, not content that is going out live across the internet. So they state that online interactions aren't rated as a warning that any content you are exposed to in online interactions may cross the line of what can be rated to begin with. It's not stating "do what you want cuz we don't rating," it's a statement of, "be careful with online interactions, we don't know what they might be or what laws apply".
As a matter of related interest, EVE Online hasn't even received a rating by the Australian agency responsible for such. We just get the same PEGI 12 rating that everyone else gets, even though PEGI anything isn't used here. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

You ******* see.
Sokhar chose to give Ero his isk to begin with, before the bonus round ever even happened. Then he CHOSE to give them his assets, before ANY of your so-called 'torture' happened. Stop playing coy, arguing semantics and just generally being dumb. You have a brain, use it. Sokhar consented to EVERYTHING, and you can keep linking your own claims all you like to try to 'prove' yourself to be right but it's as bad as saying "the bible is true because it says it's true".

Ero did not deny Sokhar the choice to hand over his assets to begin with, so your analogy is invalidated right there. Also invalidated automatically by "Grr Goons". What the **** do the Goons have to do with it? A whole bunch of them have been in the forums condemning Ero right along with you. Crazy numpty. Well I suppose E1 was part of Goonswarm therefore he will always be a goon in some peoples eyes. However I am curious which goons have publicly condemned E1.. they seem to be supporting him unless I missed one of their posts which is fairly easy to do in a thread like this.
Sorry, I missed your post. I've read almost all of it and have been watching it from the very start, participating in it about 10-12 pages in, and it is difficult keeping up with everything. But no less entertaining.

This is clearly explained in my post here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4400219#post4400219The will of the perpetrators in the Bonus Room is that the victim leaves the room. The will of the victim in the Bonus Room is to fulfill the contract and receive his reward. The perpetrators of the Bonus Room facilitate their will, that the victim leaves the room, by subjecting him to torture. Torture is internationally pronounced illegal in almost every single jurisdiction on Earth. Any even superficial indication that torture might be occuring requires immediate investigation by all concerned parties and authorities.
No, it's not clearly explained at all, it's white-washed away with excuses and sensationalism.
No scam can happen, no 'torture' would have taken place, if Sokhar had given Ero nothing. If Sokhar, at any point, had chosen differently, we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.
How does he even GET in the bonus room in the first place to be 'tortured' if he doesn't choose to be there? You are most definitely whitewashing that little factor away. You haven't addressed that at all.
Here's a suggestion for you. If you care this much, then why don't you report this 'torture' to the authorities. Maybe then you might achieve something, because waffling on in the forums is achieving... what exactly? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

We know what the rules are. This is a rather simple case of people wanting to ban someone because they don't like what they did. It doesn't matter to them if rules were broken or not. The worst part of all of this is that these people have been tossing about worse things that are against the rules both in the recording and in this very thread which are bannable offences. Yet for whatever reason people are choosing to ignore this and are gunning for someone who have broken no rules.

It is normal and justified to assume that nobodies will includes being subject to torture. The will of the two parties are as follows: -The will of the perpetrators in the Bonus Room, is to force the victim to leave the Bonus Room. This is how they win the Bonus Room. -The will of the victim is to fulfill the terms of the contract, and receive the reward. That is how they win the Bonus Room (supposedly). In order for the perpetrators to win, and to actualise their will, they systematically and deliberately inflict acute psychological pain on the victim (as constitutes torture according to Amnesty International, as sourced in my sig) This is how the perpetrators in the Bonus Room "win". Torture is the mechanism whereby they enact that.
It is the will of the 'victim' to join the bonus room in the first place.

It was racism under altered mental state by the victim Rule clarity on use of outside game tools for scamming in game property needs to be clarified Rule clarity on the difference between a. Scam and harassment needs to be clarified CCP response should be public as this is all in public domai
No, scamming is allowed by the rules. Even if it's done externally, it's still within the rules, as long as it involved EVE assets and there's no RMT or scamming of real assets using EVE as a platform. What needs to be clarified is, can a soundcloud file of a TS3 conversation, with no way to link members of that conversation to in game entities without explicit confession by those entities, be used as evidence of rule breaking. If it can, then so can the emails I received from the person that doxed me, which is something I've been told by CCP in no uncertain terms they cannot do.
If it can, then this opens the door to a rather hot mess of potential exploits from the community who can then just fake conversations and record them and claim that such and such happened and they have the audio recording for proof. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Cite one example where a court (ANYWHERE) requires that in order for actions taken against someone to constitute torture they must: -Be restrained or otherwise incapable of leaving the circumstances in which their are being tortured. -Where if they voluntarily entered a situation where it later culminates into torture, that that initial act negates the subsequent actions taken against the victim from being classifiable as torture. The definition of torture, does not require the victim to be restrained, nor that they have been brought involuntarily into the circumstances where torture occurs. Thats just how it is.
The very broad definition that you provided and based your assertions on contains the premise that a victim of torture is a victim against their will. That explicitly requires that the victim be entirely powerless and unable to escape or avoid the torture. Why do you keep contradicting yourself, defeating your own arguments and just generally proving yourself stupid? You've already made your point, dude, we all know you're a complete moron. You don't have to keep proving it over and over again. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

No, you're demeaning the severity of torture with your sensational bullshit. According to your vaunted definition of amnesty international, they are victims against their will. That, right there, discredits any assertion that Sokhar was a victim of torture. You can try to 'elaborate' all you want but so far all you've really done is waffle. You don't scare me.

"That's nothing man I know a guy who was tortured by some dudes over the Internet in a teamspeak server" I'm pretty sure any vet,ever, who has been tortured, or anyone who has been tortured, would agree that torture, no matter how slight some may perceive it as, is still wrong, in ALL its occurances.
I'm pretty sure you're not a vet that has been tortured, ever, and in fact not any kind of vet at all. Any speculation you might have about what actual torture victims would think about your assertions is just that, speculation.

EvE the 'sandbox' must be based on the same principles. It is a sandbox, or not. There is no middle ground between food and poison, just poisoned food. tldr; CCP must be very careful about coming between two players in any scenario, at risk of crushing what the sandbox stands for.
Harassment or 'bullying' as previously defined by CCP, is when a player continuously or on an ongoing basis messes with another player, without asset acquisition being their core driver.
If we look to that precedent, Erotica1 neither continuously nor on an ongoing basis messed with Sohkar, for it was a single time event with Sohkar, and Erotica1's goals were clearly asset acquisition at their core. By CCP's own precedent this was thus not harassment nor bullying, it was the sandbox, working as intended.
Now while you may denounce the way Erotica1 did what he did, you however can NOT denounce his right to do it, or you might as well denounce the sandbox, freedom of speech and the notion of freedom itself.
Why is It always liberal pansies that have to silence or jail those they disagree with in the real world, rather than win their arguments by engaging directly with the person they wish to neuter, and instead convince them? That is evil. That is Stalinism. That is today's liberal pansification in real life injecting itself into a GAME with cries to 'ban Erotica1!'...
What's missing from this thread is that Sohkar was a DUNCE. He allowed himself to be scammed, then doubled down on stupid by allowing himself to be made a fool of, driven by his personal greed and attempts to acquire quick money (ISK). Sohkar should be THANKING Erotica1 for the valuable real-life lesson he was just taught! Surely the first time he goes to nagotiate a car loan, mortgage or cellphone contract -- he will be more likely to look at the fine print and not get screwed thanks to Erotica1?
THAT is the lesson of HTFU you pansies never seem to get, that HTFU is GOOD FOR YOU. Bubble wrap a dunce or carebear, and you neuter him in real life I say. Want to know why kids are leaving their parents homes at older and older ages? Just look in the f#$king mirror you fail-enabling PANSIES!

So now that you're firmly in the "THIS IS TORTURE THEREFORE EROTICA 1 IS A WAR CRIMINAL" camp, please tell us how this fulfills an actual authoritative definition of torture that has been adopted by several countries, not by an advocacy group: 'For the purpose of this Convention, the term 'torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purpose as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed, or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by, or at the instigation of, or with the consent or acquiescence of, a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to lawful sanctions.' (United Nations. 1984. Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. U.N. Doc. A/39/51.)

I love the paintball anecdote above. Inflicting an act on yourself does not make it ok to do it to others
but let me get this straight, alpha podding removes skill points from the player, there is no hope of getting a multiple of them back, you are doing solid damage and setting the character back time that must be reaquired slowly. and this was normal 'bonus room activity'?
so it was not just 'a couple of songs'
It was a massive post of spin. Has anyone in the pro-Ero camp reached out and tried to make this right with Sohkar? That's where it should begin. It's telling that their best response to this mess it to continue what they've always done: play the bonus room one more time. Sad.
For one, as I've stated previously, I neither support nor condemn Ero. But what's there to make right with Sohkar? He was the one flinging abuse. Racial and homophobic slurs and threats of violence. Pretty sure if someone did that to me, I'd have nothing to make right with them. Why does Ero get lynched and Sokhar get a free pass? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

From the bonus room it was revealed that the player who plays Erotica1 has quite a few alts. Erotica1 could just be used as a trader/scammer and they could play with their many other alts.
No, pay attention now, because I'm only going to say this once more, and ignoring it will be your problem. Erotica 1 has a killboard. To get a killboard, one is required to undock and shoot or be shot at by other ships.

If we're going to ban both, what does it accomplish for EVE? This incident, as Sokhar himself pointed out, was over a month before Riptard posted that blog. If anyone should be banned, it's Riptard for making a mountain out of molehills. That's what caused any perceived damage to EVE, not the incident itself, which Sokhar had clearly gotten over and put behind him. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Have you prepared a diagnostic report that states clearly how Stockholm Syndrome, a demonstrable pathology, applies to Sokhar? If not, then you're waffling not-yet-demonstrated assertions. Let me be clear.
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.

There's no report you can provide that will demonstrate your assertion, but if you think there is and want to prove your claim, then you'll do it for free. Otherwise, your assertion will be dismissed as the hate-mongering froth-drivelling excuse that it is. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Nothing I've seen said in it by the defenders of E1 has changed my view of the detestable thing which is the 'bonus room' (which I was aware of long before this particular incident). I don't think it makes any difference what S thinks of it now: he clearly had a different opinion of it when it was happening (as did his wife; is she as sanguine about the whole experience now as he is? How many victims of domestic violence fail to press charges a day later?). In my view, E1 is a sadist and a repeat offender, and I think it reflects badly on CCP that they have so far failed to remove elements like this from the playerbase, after there has been so much documentary evidence of where his being allowed to seek his victims in the game leads. I'm all on Ripard Teg's side on this one (although I wish he'd said 'abuse' rather than 'torture').

Incorrect, I'm repeating the argument for exposure.

The purpose is one of convenience for the person posting more hate against Ero. It saves them from having to read the entire thread.

This whole thread has been repetition after repetition.

I'm taking a page out of Salvos book, copy-pasting is convenient for addressing the repetitive nature of the witch hunt against Ero. Fortunately, I have a sound argument.

Then you have problems with your comprehension skills. Nothing much that can be done for that here on the board.
If you are making an assertion, it is up to you to communicate and prove said assertion succinctly, not question the comprehension skills of the people you are trying to prove it to. This is a cop out. You have proven nothing and you're just waffling on and dodging now, driven by pure bile and hate and lies and nothing more, as per your usual style. It's okay, we're not actually expecting you to be a bigger person at all, we all know you won't be able to prove what you're asserting because you're just not asserting facts. You don't scare me.

The line has to be drawn somewhere CCP you do that now or wait until e1 talks some player into suicide.
Your assertion that my points are bad is irrelevant. You can't ban someone just because you hate them, and that's all this is, a hate campaign against Ero. The only reason you're not willing to discuss the points I have made is because you have no legitimate counter point.

IMO you're driven by a desire to defend your methods of RL harming people for your own sick self gratification and I think that part of you is rather despicable.
Except NOBODY was harmed. I disagree. Harm is not purely physical. Harm can be also pyschological. Harm doesn't have to be permanent, it can be temporary. If someone spits on you in the street and you go home and shower was no harm done? If someone deliberately makes your day miserable at work and you go home and later feel better was no harm done? In both cases harm was done, it was just not permanent and so you couldn't find a remedy in a court for that but its still harm.

Then if they want to prove it's not just a hate campaign against Ero, they should be more consistent. Because that's CCP Gargant being subjected to the same thing that Sohkar was, having a fleet ransomed and being made to sing if they want to live. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

You cant blame Sohkar for the situation that E1 created on purpose. Sohkar should be held accountable for any actions he may take after the fact but not for the situation E1 created.
Sohkar should not be the scapegoat.
People need to be held accountable for the things they do, not blame the victim. Would be like saying a **** victim was at fault because of the clothes they wore or the bar they were at.
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 this 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.
I can blame Sohkar for the choices he made. Ero did not force him to do anything.
And I'm not making Sohkar a scapegoat, I'm pointing out that without equal impassioned villification of his choices to abuse and threaten, then Ero is the one being made a scapegoat of.

Sure it is. When you said a man slapping his wife for cheating because she put him in that situation. That is your logic.
That was YOUR logic. YOUR logic was that Ero pressured Sokhar into an emotional reaction and somehow, that justifies it. I told you why it doesn't. Shifting the goalposts is a favourite fallacy of the irrational so before you are publicly noted as such, you might want to try paying attention.
And I thought you were leaving? Or were you waiting until I would go so you could 'respond' to my point without challenge?

So, I bid you all adieu, cuz I have things to do. After 3 1/2 days of trolling you have suddenly things to do. Lelz
Actually, I don't, I never left. I suspected E2 was lying when he said he had so I pretended to. And he did exactly what I thought he would :)
Also, while I'll confess to a variety of troll posts on my part, I've mostly been presenting carefully considered counter arguments to bad ones. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

So, I bid you all adieu, cuz I have things to do. It is not over yet. We have one lose end to take care of. Since Ripard Tegs blog post, the EVE community as a whole who he represents, as well as CCP whom he also represents, has been dragged through the mud. Numerous sites within the MMO community have pounced upon this clearly misinformed and biased personal attack against Erotica 1. The fact a CSM stepped out of line, instigated a witch hunt, dragged our community through the mud in the eyes of the community must be discussed. I honestly believe that Ripard Teg should face a ban on his clear harassment of Erotica 1, and Sohkar for his own personal gain. His blog was entirely intended to drive up page views for his blog, under the false pretense of being a white knight in a situation that was admittedly absolved a month ago. Clearly this is unacceptable conduct of a member of this community let alone a member of the CSM panel. +1 At this point, I don't give a rat's ass what his ulterior motive was. He needs to be taken to task on this one.
Yeah but as we've been telling Ero's detractors, that's for CCP to determine. Are we now going to have a Riptard witch hunt? I won't have a bone of it. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Mostly just to let the angry mob vent their anger so that when CCP finally does say something, they'll have blown most of their steam.
However, I agree that CCP's attention needs to be on the journalistic integrity of Ripard Teg but I don't agree that this thread is alive and well for the sake of his vilification as well now. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

You're right, this was never about sohkar, that was established many pages back. No one really cares whether he's an actual victim or not. It was never about what Ero does either because he's not the only one who does it, and that time it was done to a CCP dev so good luck trying to convince them it's bad for the game.

Simple fact is that you were kicked and you lied about it.
Now if what you have done, and are doing is not bad but harmless fun, why did they kick out of Goonswarm? Actually Mandarine, it's quite possible that everyone is telling the truth (I think I wrote this earlier). Ero was not in GSF, but in Widot. That means GSF could not kick him directly, but had to ask Widot to do so. As posted earlier by a separate Widot member, Ero (other character) posted to all members saying he was leaving. So GSF asked Widot to kick Ero and Ero left of his own accord as part of the internal Widot discussions. Everyone is telling the truth because to GSF it looks as though they had Ero kicked, but as part of the process within Widot, Ero actually left rather than being kicked. No lie anywhere. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Widot is a member corporation in the alliance called, you know, Goonswarm Federation. (GSF)
I'm pretty sure the entire alliance, as big as it is, isn't privy to every little detail of the goings on of corps they're not part of. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Why can't people be honest?
Some of you are admitting it, at least, that this was never about sohkar, a fact that was established many hundreds of pages back. No one really cares whether he's an actual victim or not, otherwise you wouldn't be so easily dismissing his vindication of Ero.
What you're still refusing to admit or grasp is that it was never about Ero's bonus room either because he's not the only one who does that sort of thing, and that time it was done to a CCP dev so good luck trying to convince them it's bad for the game. If they didn't have a problem with it then, what makes you think they'll have one now, especially given sohkar's vindication of ero.
This whole thread was about hate for Erotica 1 and that's it. And you don't ban someone just because you hate them.

I'm not even sure why I even bothered replying to you anyway, you have been a broken record with a weak argument for the last 20 pages now.
I heard the recording. Listened to it four times. Do you know what does make it not wrong? The fact that sohkar got over it and doesn't care. The fact that sohkar is sick of people treating him like a victim when he has said and knows himself that he is not one, and doesn't care. Do you know why you're completely wrong about any of this being wrong? Because sohkar says you're wrong. If that's not enough for you, then I suggest you visit your real intentions here and take a good, long, hard think about why your opinion of the perceived victim should matter more than his own. How ******* presumptuous, pithy, pretentious and arrogant of you.
For the record, I'm not the broken record, you and your kind that dismisses arguments as 'weak' without even addressing them are set to repeat. There are bingo cards with that fallacy on them you know. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |
