Especially seeing as some of the council seem to trying to be as devisive as possible.
I know, right? A member of the council is openly saying he'll ignore any concerns from some members of the playerbase. Those are some pretty divisive, or should I say discriminatory, statements.

And their posting in this thread has probably just simply cemented a large portion of that player base to continue supporting alternative candidates.
I love this.
Just because I'm an SA member and a member of GoonSwarm I'm automatically some hooligan when I attempt to point out blatant discrimination in an elected representative of the player base of which I and my fellow goons are a part.
Honestly it doesn't surprise me when this is the very attitude that met us when we first entered this game. Right from the start we were typecast and marginalized. We came here to play and enjoy the game, and we're in GoonFleet because we like playing with other goons (we LOVE to help newbees get started and jumpstart their enjoyment of the game instead of having them languish in empire). We have some extremely intelligent and talented individuals from many diverse backgrounds and we have a vested interest in improving the game we often enjoy, and the things we make to improve our enjoyment of the game end up helping the EVE community as a whole. EVEmon is an excellent example of this.
But because we're goons automatically makes us hooligans.

I'm predicting a lot of long responses that basically say "Yes, that's right- also you deserve this and it's awesome."
I know, and it's one of the many things that really makes it hard to try and play nice with the EVE community.

This shouldn't be about Goonswarm vs. *insert name for conglomerate of others*, but about how the game can be improved for everybody.
All of our (read: GoonSwarm) candidates entered this with that in mind. There are goons involved in every aspect of this game, and while it would be remiss to say that our candidates aren't looking out for our interests it would be inaccurate to say that our interests don't mirror those of a considerable portion of the EVE community. Darius JOHNSON and Bane Glorious aren't limiting their thoughts to one aspect of the game, and they've been very vocal about their broad point of view. They have also publicly stated the areas that they are weak in, which most CSM members have not done.

Oh, I know that.
I was just taking a point from your post and pointing out that that we're actually thinking about the EVE community as a whole and not just ourselves which is what many of our detractors are claiming we're doing.
