First, to the OP, great post.
Personally, I can't wait till the Goons leave EvE. Their entry into this game has been a litany of hijacked threads, premature and immature 1 man corp posts, a constant and disgusting barrage of racism and sexism, with no regard to themselves, the community, or CCP. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I've seen ONLY 1 Goon post with anything besides trolling in reply to this post, and even he got sidetracked into a religious discussion All I see is a wall of vitriol designed to derail. Maybe, and just maybe, if more than 1/100 Goons had something profitable to say, you wouldn't be so despised. What's more your neverending attempts to derail are beginning to bite you on the bum. Play the game, not the man!

It is irrelevant whether it is all of the Goon membership acting in such a puerile manner. It is irrelevant whether there are those Goons who intellectualize away the filth that permeates the Goons as using said renders it harmless. (Ever heard of "War is Peace" - 1984?) The fact is the vast majority revel in this contagion, and the ability to abuse this virus has long been on show in and out of this game.

"Goonfleet has always been at war with Goonwaffe"
Attention all goons! We have been upgraded from degenerate puerile viral filth to degenerate puerile viral brainwashed filth. Remember to act accordingly.
I never said brainwashed. I pointed to the "War is Peace" reference to suggest that: 1. revelling in such puerile activity took the ability for many impressionable individuals to distinguish from them, 2. enabled those with such beliefs to propogate them, 3. those with 1/2 a brain to intellectualize it away, 4. those in positions of power exploit it.

Originally by: eleuthereus But nice try.
In the same vein I'd like to take the time to thankyou, Eleuthereus, for this initial post. While it is lengthly and in my opinion mislead it gave the forums something to read, it may not be of a high standard but at least you've given it a try and that's the real point of the internet. Bravo for your efforts and I'm sure next time you will feel more confident with your posting having read through the constructive advice given in this thread.
Have a great day. Thanks again for trying with the OP.
My statement that only 1 Goon so far has had anything substantial to say still stands.
You can't defeat the points, so you try and belittle his whole post? I mean really You really think anyone would read that response and take that for a rebuttal?

I never said brainwashed. Stop abdicating responsibility. I pointed to the "War is Peace" reference to suggest that: 1. revelling in such puerile activity took the ability for many impressionable individuals to distinguish from them, 2. enabled those with such beliefs to propogate them, 3. those with 1/2 a brain to intellectualize it away, 4. those in positions of power exploit it.
So what you mean is that we are brainwashed by puerile behaviour and exploited by our leadership, and it's not because we have fun being puerile?
That's pretty interesting, but I'm afraid that thought isn't approved by dear leader. Boy do I love dear leader. (Please don't send me back to the spyad re-education camp)
No, I'm saying sinking to the lowest common denominator shows a real lack of maturity. A willingness to degrade others for ones own benefit and gratification is cheap, and shows a lack of real self worth. And to resort to such means in and out of this game speaks volumes of the type of people who lead the Goons.

Youre like one of those conservatives that protests outside an eminem concert because he uses the word**** in his lyrics and talks about degrading women, when you dont realize the fact that rappers had been using**** and talking about degrading women for almost 2 decades before he even showed up on raps radar. We arent the first alliance that griefs and we wont be the last. If your problem is with griefing itself then quit playing a PVP mmo.
We dont talk in local and until recently would get fined for even making a post on this forum. You dont know jack about anyone in our alliance or what our motivations are.
Is it that you and Snowden can't read, or you deliberately reply off topic? Your analogy is hardly relevant to my post, so what can I say?

No, it's that your whole point is built on a false premise, that killing and being killed in a PvP-heavy videogame is inherently degrading. I've seen ships holding everything I own explode in flames on several occasions while getting smacked in local, and I still can't relate to that idea in the slightest. You're trying to shoehorn all sorts of moral and psychological assumptions into places where they just don't fit.
I have never been degraded by a videogame and if you have, maybe you're the one who has a problem with his self worth.
No, that wasn't my point at all Read back a few pages...

I wasn't arguing with what you said a few pages back, I was arguing with what you said on this page in particular, the "lowest common denominator" post. If you expect me to keep track of all the ridiculous crap you've said in this thread you're going to have to make an index or something.
Well my comment on this page was about the same thing i've been talking about in previous posts. It's not my fault you don't read properly and have only 1 argument.

Why don't you tell us what your real argument is then?
To me, It sounds to me exactly like the same tired whining cloaked in pseudo-intellectualism that we have all heard 10,000 times before that boils down to: "I disapprove of the way you have fun, as it offends my delicate sensibilities as a morally upstanding internet spaceship driver"
Guess what. We don't care what you think just so long as your ship explodes real purdy. It's pretty funny when you get all excited and blustered about losing your precious collection of bytes on a some server in the UK too.
Yes you do offend "my delicate sensibilities as a morally upstanding internet spaceship driver." Racism, sexism, and a juvenile lack of conscience, yes they p*** me off. They have no place on the forums, and shouldn't in the game. The disingenuous postings here to cover over the fact that the Goons are out to wreck EvE, whether through calculation, or general wanton idiocy, deserve a repudiation.
And if after much protestation on your behalf you still say you don't care, either you are proving you lack the basic and fundamental intellectual and emotional prowess to take a long hard look at your behaviour, or your making admission of your desire to kill EvE.

Originally by: James Duar TBH, countdown to the next rant about whatever alliance he quits.
There are two types of people in EVE: those who quit and move on quietly, and those who decide to pronounce to the world about it.
I don't remember him posting about ASCN or LV, do you?
And I just love your sagely construct of EvE types I think you have nothing with which to criticize or to criticize, true?
