Frug Zenithal Harvest 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.17 13:20:00 - [31] Originally by: Trishan Originally by: Alexand DeKovenWoolf Last week I filed a petition against the name of a corporation which I felt was truly tasteless, mean spirited and downright unacceptable, even for EVE. Indeed. And your name, I feel, is tasteless and downright unacceptable as it shares an astounding similarity to Alexandros, son of Priam, and provoker of the War on Troy, which killed many... which, I feel, you are samelessly mocking instead of mourning. Signed. I have a suspicion he's complaining about my old friends in fimbulwinter and their "society for retired terrorists" - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles

SgtDeaux	Posted - 2007.09.17 13:27:00 - [34] Ive served in this country's military thru the war on terror until this last year. Ive seen the horrors that we create and others for a "just" or a "right" cause. Nothing that anyone does is ever really enough too justify war 100percent. I would agree that some people are just attempting too be obscene or vulgar. But the day CCP takes away peoples rights too be *******s I for one am out of here. Ill switch over too hello kitty online cause by that point.. hello kitty will be more exciting. -sarge

I petitioned asking for clarification rather then censorship. Note, I didn't get any clarification. My thinking asking was because I thought that the mechanism to specifically report names of characters as well as corporations as questionable must be there for a reason. Players of this game excercise their right to be ***s with refreshing regularity. As I already said, that is part of the appeal. However, there are some rules but they seem inconsistent and in need of clarification. I don't believe one is actually allowed to include the word *** in their character or corporation name. However, the word Bastard is allowed, which I find both odd as well as refreshing. Then again, why will the word ***** be censored when I hit the Post Reply button?
Princess Jodi Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.09.17 13:55:00 - [36] I agree that Free Speech should allow people to say things that some find offensive. However, Free Speech is something that America guarantees: The rest of the world does not necessarily allow it. Donno about Iceland and CCP's 'Laws' regarding people's rights. As far as an offensive name, I may not like it, but I've got the right to make offensive names too, right? Cuz I got a few doozies cooked up for those who attempt to commit acts of Terror on the USA. Meanwhile, in Eve, if there is a corp openly promoting some kind of anti-US philisophy, please post all the relevant information and I'll gladly help you declare War on them. Then we can stomp them out just like the scum they are promoting.
Nice Guy	Posted - 2007.09.17 13:59:00 - [37] Originally by: Frug Originally by: Erotic Irony hay guys whats going on here Get out of my thread! Thats discrimination, you just assumed it was another 4chan alt poster, and by that, you told him to gtfo! You don't know that person. I find discrimination offensive, you should get a ban!

Now go take your crap somewhere els, as no one wants to hear it. People like you deserve no respect at all.

Celeste Coeval The Gosimer and Scarab	Posted - 2007.09.17 14:08:00 - [40] Originally by: Alexand DeKovenWoolf Last week I filed a petition against the name of a corporation which I felt was truly tasteless, mean spirited and downright unacceptable, even for EVE. I didn't expect instant action, however it took no less then 5 days to get a "Thanks, we'll look into it." OK, so be it. However, it would appear that the corp in question is still flying about, more then a week later, sporting a name that, without any subtlety, recalls the people who perpetrated the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 and the weapons they used. I find that deeply troubling. What exactly does it take? Freedom of speech is speech without limitation. If everyone in the world enforced their views on others then we would all be subject to others views and not our own. Freedom of speech extends beyond america funnily enough, also as far as i'm aware no one gave you to right to dictate to me or anyone what free speech is.

Maxpie Cross Roads	Posted - 2007.09.17 14:11:00 - [41] lol, what is wrong with you people. it's a frickin game! it's owned by a private company, there is no 'free speech.' people play this game to enjoy themselves, not to be offended. if the private company that owns the game thinks it is unacceptable, they remove it or whatever. the rest is just all you wackos trying to promote your agendas. sad and pathetic. He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things.

Ares Lightfeather Gallente	Posted - 2007.09.17 14:47:00 - [50] Well, if it's a name about the 9/11 event, why should anyone care that it was the apparition of Elvis Presley in 1956 ? Elvis Presley is offensive ? -- Siggie !

Ed Anger Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.09.17 14:49:00 - [51] Originally by: 343conspiracy43345 Edited by: 343conspiracy43345 on 17/09/2007 12:34:48 Some people in the USA, the citizens of this country, actually have the gall to say that we shouldn't mourn for 9/11 anymore and that it should be left in history books where it belongs. People were mad at others for leaving flowers and tokens of mourning at a site dedicated to the twin towers on this september 11th. Do you know how sick in the head that is? not any sicker then the easy access to handguns in the USA.
REAL DEATH	Posted - 2007.09.17 14:54:00 - [52] Ok just a question, why do you americans think it's all about you? Doesn't 911 have more meanings why do you always think it's that terrorist attack? isn't there emergency phone with that number, isn't there porsche with that number? Past is a past noone can change it, plus many more people are dying everyday so why are you always bringing that up? I don't want to flame or anything but america is not center of this universe nor eve universe. period.
