You have to also consider the other players as well who saw this and thought it was pretty messed up, but who aren't vocalizing their opinions on the forums. I urged the ones who Eve mailed me (after seeing my gripe in a few rage posts right after the panel) to contact CCP about it.
It's likely we'll see a response one way or the other from CCP. I also worry that this might put a damper on this year's otherwise awesome fanfest. This is why we can't have nice things  |

All I know is there are things that shouldn't be joked about, and this is one of them. You are wrong. Anybody who threatens suicide over a video game deserves to be mocked. You can defend your overlord all you want. I know that anyone who does that is probably bluffing, and this guy is no exception. But even if there is a slight chance of it being true, you can't publicly encourage people to mock him until he commits suicide, even less if you represent a community. So in the future anytime somebody gets scammed all they have to do is threaten suicide and CCP will have to cave in to them?
The point is, he should know better as the highest representative of the player base. This is politics and since he's a space politician, you'd think he would've known this. |

Watching reasonable posts get likes.
Watching Ladie Harlot do damage control.
Popping popcorn, here goes the rest of my sick day. |

It's like people have some sort of alterior motive against GOONSWARM FEDERATION, for who knows what reason.
There were posts made immediately afterwards, they just didn't gain any traction like this one has. |

Wiki: By the late 1980s, thirty of the fifty states had no laws against suicide or suicide attempts but every state had laws declaring it to be felony to aid, advise or encourage another person to commit suicide.felony = prison time "It is legal to discriminate against felons in hiring decisions as well as the decision to rent housing to a person" A great way to totally screw up your life. Anyway, all it takes is a jury. The law doesn't matter if a jury wants you punished.
Let's come back down to earth. Using the justice system punitively like this is the whole reason it's so screwed up in the first place. |

He resigned, can we now move on from this? I'd really like to get back to GD being about spaceships, not space BS. |

You mean some drunken tasteless blunder of a joke, because last I checked the guy didn't actually get publicly harassed.
Keep blowing it out of proportion if you want to. |
