Within the compass of this post, I can do no more than indicate, as concisely as I can, relevant considerations that must be taken into account if we are to discuss Mr. Dotard's and Starbreakers morbid practices in a rational manner. First off, these two believe that thier stealings are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals.
The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself, but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by these two and their perverted gofers. They always sound like their reading a prepared speech. Let's be sure that I've made myself absolutely clear: Sometimes I think that Mr. Dotard and Starbreaker are simply willing pawns of those fork-tongued lackwits who rot out the foundations of our religious, moral, and political values. I typically drop that willing-pawn notion, however, whenever I remember that these two insist that if they kick us in the teeth we'll then lick his toes and beg for another kick. Sorry, nimrods, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so."
I think these two maintain that the cure for evil is more evil. Perhaps it would be best for them to awaken from their delusional, narcoleptic fantasyland and observe that they sometimes have trouble convincing people that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal. When they have such trouble, they usually trot out a few vitriolic slumlords to constate authoritatively that "the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel.
Whether or not that trick of their's works, it's still the case that these two have been offering moonstruck twaddlers a lot of isk to make the pot of salvage stealing overboil and scald the whole EvE-verse. This is blood money, plain and simple. Anyone thinking of doing this should realize that these two use the very intellectual tools he criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity.
So, what exactly are these two trying to hide? I guess it just boils down to the question: Do these two believe, deep in the adytum of their own mind, that forcing me to fall into the traps set for me by them and their advocates is essential for the safety and welfare of the eve population? Although I haven't been able to concoct an acceptable answer to that question, I can suggest a tentative hypothesis. My hypothesis is that these activities are not witty satire, as they would have you believe. They're simply the larcenous doings of someone who has no idea or appreciation of what there mocking. Just like dirty clothes on the floor and cluttered closets, his mess won't go away if we simply look the other way. He might siphon off scarce salvaging capital intended for underdeveloped players one day. What are we to do then? Place blinders over our eyes and hope we don't see the horrible outcome? At this point, our task is to pronounce the truth and renounce the lies. Your support can help greatly with this task of rooting out them and their kind from our enjoyment of EvE, this crucial task, at which we, as a collective, must not fail.
