Well it's good to know there are no boundaries when it comes to issues such as this. Harassment, bullying and humiliation is accepted in Eve Online.
Will be interesting to see how scams of this nature escalates, considering CCP hasn't given any official response yet. quit trying to relight the fire. Sohkar ended it himself. I know you really, really want it to be stamped out but it's just too late. You guys lit it and didn't realize EVERYONE would see. And ffs, Ripard is a good guy - why do you guys hate on him so much? <-- That's a serious Q, I really don't know what he did. Was it before my time? Or, was it just THIS? Because of him using Erotica's "Bonus Room" to highlight just how far into "horrible" we've let the community needle slide? I know you really, really want this to be the "end all", but sorry, it's not about the individual harmed. It's about the individuals that do the harming. Just for fun, I'm going to list a whole string of blogs people mailed to me that share our viewpoint (some call for bans, some don't, but are of the same theme).

Sure, Sokhar is only another individual, but his opinion matters at least as much as yours or mine--and his has the weight of experience. Listen to what he's saying. His perspective on what happened is much more mature and measured than those you will find from the demagogues in this thread. He emphasized that it was his character being embarrassed. This man recognizes that Eve is a game. "I got scammed; I got angry; I got over it. Why can't everyone else?" (quoted from the twitch stream). It's not merely the fact that Sokhar and E1 reconciled, it's Sokhar's perspective that should give you pause.
I also think Ripard is a good guy, and I like his blog . As he says somewhere on his blog's comments, [people] of good faith can disagree. And I disagree with his vision of what Eve is. Both of us recognize that Eve's universe has a god (we all pay our tithes dutifully with PLEX), but Ripard is a theist. Perhaps, with enough praying and blogging and forum postings, CCP will appear and enforce his (and many of those in this thread's) standard of morality. I'm a deist. Thank you, CCP, for making the sand, but stay out of the box. |
