"Nice to see some Witch Hunt going on, nice to see a rebellion for pixels in an online computer game.Sad to see you dont follow the same conduct about modern slavery, mutilations, human rights being forgotten, your liberty being gone. Nice to see some enslaved minds going wild for some kilo bites.
Flame me away if that can make your small ego feel greater, you're making me sick, lot of you should go see a shrink and look at what's going on around you so precious "eve character".
It is my belief that the conduct of a person whilst active in a "no consequence" environment such as EVE or a forum speaks volumes more about the moral fiber of that person than their behaviour in the real world. When you are totally veiled by anonymity, you are at the greatest liberty to act, and it is in that setting that a person's true character presents itself.
Furthermore, I think everyone's aware of this fact at some level, just some folks are in denial about it. "It's just a game" is, in my opinion, not a good justification.
The "witch hunts" your member has been ranting about are in fact the natural retaliation of a group whose collective integrity has been slandered. As a result of this whole fiasco, the entirety of BoB have been labeled, unjustly, as a bunch of cheaters.
Now, I'll be the first to say that you folks aren't exactly my favourite alliance of all time, but it would be unreasonable of me or anyone else to tar you all with the same brush. In fact, I'm pretty certain that the extreme majority of BoB are a bunch of honourable, fun-loving types with a well-developed sense of fair play. From the sounds of things, most of you are as scandalized over this whole event as everyone else is.
BoB is the USA of EVE: life is good if you're in BoB or one of its vassal corps, but the rest of us think you are entirely too big, rich and powerful, and that it's gone to your head. That's the collective view of your alliance, and your response to this fiasco will define how the rest of the community continues to view you for a long while. This is your Watergate.
