From what I've seen of them off and on over the years, I don't think the leadership will change the goons as a whole. Every MMO I've seen them in, they act the same. Different leaders, same MO. They will go on without the mitanni if something were to happen to him. I mean, it is probably a given that the most that will happen is that he won't be on the CSM. They wouldn't ban his accounts. Who knows, maybe his wife will give him enough bullshit that he quits on his own and turns over the ownership of the goons to someone else who will just do the same thing.

I don't see the goons being hurt at all, or this creating some mass exodus from the game.

I agree, the goons will go on, but they won't be happy if he's removed from the CSM. Unhappy goons best goons.

Erm, the "something horrible" he apologizes for was mocking the miner at a live event and giving out his character name. He never claimed to have serious intent behind it.

He at no point said that it wasn't a joke or anything other than mocking.

But yes, he freely admitted that his mockery at the event was past the line.

Jeez ain't you guys bored yet.

It is however cute that slot of people are convinced that we will all quit or something drastic when this probably happens.

Apparently Alex is mocking the whole situation on goon jabber ping or something earlier. Anyone have the details?

And you took this seriously why?

200+ pages of people not understanding a joke was a joke

There, i think we all should chill now.

You mean 200 pages to push up our EVE-O post count.

And like count. I think Im 80 likes up from these two threadnaughts, trebling my like count ftw. My e-peen is fully stoked now.

If tasteless jokes about people gave rise to civil lawsuits as easy as the Internet Matlocks here claim, you'd see a lot more well-behaved people online. I can't count how many "die in a fire" comments and other remarks I've seen and read on the Internet, statements which are much more violent than Mittens' comment. If you think that merely uttering a statement that wishes harm upon someone gives rise to civil liability, you need to go back to Internet Lawschool. Any in-depth study of the laws you're alluding to would let you know that the burden of proof for IIED and other torts is quite high.

Let's not forget that it was Wis's mail that opened the door to "suicide" comments in the first place. Mittens comment was simply going along with the content of the mail he received from Mackinawbot. Had that mail message said suicideganking made him vote for Ron Paul, then Mittens may have simply said "Incidentally, if you want Ron Paul to win..." I'm not saying the comments weren't tasteless, but give me a break. This is not grounds for a lawsuit, at least not one that's going anywhere.

Somebody was arrested, charged and found guilty only a couple of days ago in the UK because of a Tweet.

So yes people can be arrested and found guilty for tasteless remarks on the internet.

Racism has no place in the world and it is only right that happened.
