He said he would step down, probably just as chairman, which isnt enough to make it right. People in power never resign except for religious officials caught in sex scandals. He will cling to power in any form. Th eapology is not IMO sincere in the slightest, look at what he wrote immediately following the first post. This is damage control, nothing more.

He knows that resigning completely from CSM7 is the right move, but he will not. We will see how CCP responds to this soon I think. He made this presentation in advance, I know this guy, trust me he bullies people if he thinks he can get away with it. I know first hand, having seen it myself in CSM. He excluded me from Skype shat before I ever even made an introduction post. This is how he is, and the real Mittani is the one on stage not the one apologizing in the OP.

You goons don't really get that this isn't about the game EvE.


Its about real people.

And real world ramifications.

Its not just about the mittani and whom he tried to lynch mob. Its about anyone else that comes after. Whom might actually be pushed to far.

Mittens went to far and needs to back off and step away from the CSM.

He won, but he then shot his own foot off. He bears the responsibility for his actions.

He sounded like he was on the right path and was going to be a man about it. Now it seems he is backpedaling off of stepping down like he should. At this junction its bad PR for him to be on the CSM for all of EvE at a critical junction for CCP with dust coming out.

His actions ruined what seemed to be a good fanfest as well.

And as you are seeing from the responses of genuine independent eve players in this thread - its simply not acceptable.

You goons really aren't saying anything apart from "la la la I'm not listening la la la" (and putting your hands over your ears while reading out prepared memes somebody else made earlier.)

Everyone, in one way or another, pays for their mistakes as well.

An apology that took 5 minutes to type down and post on the internet?

10 billion isk from the alliance fund of how much?

An apology on live tv?

It is a start.

But what happens next time?

The reality is that a person's life matters much more than this game, no matter how much goon trolls want to try to cover up these posts. This is not a 12 step program, it doesn't matter that mittens was drunk - it is no good excuse to make fun of a suicidal person. Mittani knew what he did was wrong, which is why he is trying to cover his tracks with a quick and simplistic "I was drunk, wasn't my fault, I'm a victim too" excuse.

Correct - his drunkenness is no excuse. We read the post and agree. It is no excuse. None. Agreeing with you dude. It was no excuse at all and he admits it. So that some 'get out of jail free card'? Explain that non-logic?

This is too reasonable for me. You need to call someone a pubbie shitheel or we're revoking your Griefer A1 status that allows you to buy off pubbies from the 10billion isk So Sorry wallet.

OH NO IS THIS AN OPEN FORUM?

Do you believe he can continue as Chairman of the CSM and represent the game of eve online in the media and press given the current storm around cyber-bullying in a climate where the industry has already had to deal with the fallout from the Aris Bakhtanians "fighting game" issue?

But how was spike lee supposed to know people would take his twitter seriously. It was on just a twitter post. Why would people have to flee their home in fear over that.


Notice how Spike lee got sued and had to face the music for his irresponsible actions that put people at risk.


Just some food for thought.
