Typical words of a heathen. Please continue to be ignorant, eventually all who deny God will be purged from existence.

impotant. I like that word, since it defuses tension.

Those who believe can pretend he meant to say important. Those who don't can pretend he meant to say impotent.

On reflection I think you are correct - although I'm not certain why it's relevant that Claudia is Gallentean, unless you're confusing me with Kim-haani.

Well, I'm shocked I made that mistake now I take a proper look at you. Thank you for handling my oafishness so well.

I suppose it could also be all the times I'm asked if I'm a Gallente male for that matter.

I for one would love to see a minimum standard of intellectual honesty.

As somebody who always attempts to use impeccable logic to make a point, it can be somewhat frustrating to find oneself in an argument with an intellectual pygmy.

Can IGS Posts Meet A Minimum Standard of Intellectual Honesty?

Can they? Yes.

Will they? I wouldn't count on it.

Hmm...




... Yeah, I thought I'd given the only concise and to-the-point answer to the OP. Too bad it got buried by everyone else proving my point.

There is so much selective perception in this post, it's like seeing things through a mantis shrimp's eyes.

Hmm...

To be honest, I never met an alive Minmatar before I became a capsuleer. I knew that they exist somewhere, and that they have Minmatar Republic somewhere in the space. But nobody here really cared about them, who they are and what they were doing.
There were some reports about business with minmatar corporation here and there, that's all the information we had.

My opinion about your peoples is a consequence of analysis of behaviour of minmatar people, their abilities, their manners, their honor, their tendencies to keep words and deals, or, more likely, not keeping them. All these actions, all these peoples I met, made my mind about Minmatar people. Most of information was provided by such peoples like Ayallah, Anabella Rella, and so on.

After talks with them, I am pretty sure, that I really don't want to discuss important things with peoples who have "intellect of a Brutor", or "honor of a Sebiestor".

Third: leave the blob in huola some time, I do not have all summer to hunt you nor the inclination to join every fleet just to get a chance to shoot at you. let me ******* kill you already,

It's an understandable mistake. I keep mistaking Gallente boys for women too, given the lack of proper Civire chiseled jawlines or that Brutor bulk. I suppose it could also be all the times I'm asked if I'm a Gallente male for that matter.

If you joined our fleet you too could watch her ship disintegrate in a single second.

Exploring differences is how you improve your own kind. Examine everything that is different, unknown, difficult or out of the ordinary. You'll find either flaws or improvements that can be applied or weeded out of your own societies, or even come up with something completely new should the right combination of information slosh around in your head in the right quantities.

No. Discussing the merits of a system of governance is not even remotely analogous to your rather stretched metaphor. It's the only way towards self-improvement.

Or you could of course just "kill each other in peace" because that's been known to do a whole lot of good.

damnant quod non intelligunt

edit: unless you were offended by the op, why would people post here aside from trolling or entertainment? let alone follow O_o I prefer nature and informational non-fiction myself, not this gallente holo-drama drivel.

Oh on the contrary, Jade. It's changed quite a bit where it was supposed to. It's not necessarily the norm, but it happens often enough to count. Your own views or that of others change through discourse. One or two other readers might take different viewpoints into account and change their own. Sweeping societal changes aren't wrought on the IGS, but through several thousand if not millions of places quite similar to the IGS, through "the same decades-old arguments".

Silencing the discussion does nothing but put up walls between every camp and everything stagnates. These walls still exist and there's a certain waft of rot from every camp yet, but without the discussions it'll be even worse.

It's never been about sweeping entire demographics away in a burst of logic and reason. It's been about pitting your views against that of another and seeing if anything happens. Sometimes, often enough to make it worthwhile, it does. Frankly, trying to silence these exchanges reeks of fear. A fear that your own standpoint is on crumbling ground and must be protected from scrutiny or dissenting opinion. If you consider it sound and strong, you should be cherishing it whenever any viewpoint locks horns with another as it's the only way to raise the good ones and erode the ones without merit.

If you simply find it boring, go find some amusement rather than trying to silence that which no one has ever forced you to participate in.
