This apology is bogus. Mitt said he was going to do this days before he did it. Now, he's saying it was in a drunken stupor. It was stu something alright. StuPID. Apology not accepted. Any nice thing I said to you is taken back. One vote for permaban here.

You don't get it do you? He doesn't apologise for his presentation. He apologies for the remark he made during Q&A.

I for one think the mindless mob mentality behind anonymous posting aliases on Internet forums is much worse than that slip of the tongue.

The most pathetic ones in this thread are the ones still circling the cadavre like vultures and likely also feeling very good about it. You should start thinking about what RL issues makes you want to taste blood on the internet. Wouldn't it be better to grow a pair and speak up against your mother, boss or whomever you think is not treating you with the respect you believe you deserve.

Chill out.

The Mittani isn't treating any of us with the respect we deserve. And we are speaking up thank you very much.

Respect is earned, not deserved.

Its also interesting that some people think that real life character assasination that could cost people their livelihood, relationships and more is ok

So tell me how you treat random strangers.

Like owning up to his mistake and not blaming others for it?

It requires an interesting mind to think that the way to stop media talking about a cyber-bullying case is to send them hostile spam demanding that they do so...

3. HARASSMENT

An immediate permanent ban of an account may result if a player:

a. Organizes or participates in a corporation or group that is based on or advocates any anti-ethnic, anti-gay, anti-religious, racist, sexist or other hate-mongering philosophies.
Severe offences may result in an immediate ban without warning; however, warnings may be given for first time offenses, followed by account suspensions of varying degree and ultimately a permanent ban if a player:

a. Is abusive, obscene, offensive, sexually explicit, ethnically or racially offensive, or threatening to another player or an official EVE Online representative.
b. Uses role-playing as an excuse for violating the guidelines regarding fair play with others.
c. Sends excessive e-mails, EVE-mails or petitions, petitions with false information or repeatedly petitions under the wrong category in an effort to circumvent the customer support queue.

Its also interesting that some people think that real life character assasination that could cost people their livelihood, relationships and more is ok, simply to get an in game result that they arnt strong enough to do in game.

Did you guys who want to use RP as an excuse know that CCP Rules & Policies explicitly forbid the use of RP as an excuse of acting in an offensive way, and lists doing so as bannable offense?

Do you see the difference here? It is a game and we do things in this game that we would never do IRL. In fact, some of the activities we do in game would lead to capital punishment in some (primitive) countries IRL.

If you dont want to be associated with cyberbullying


DONT CYBERBULLY

How is that ******* hard?
And cyberbullying the media site (NOT IN GAME ACTIONS I MIGHT ADD) into removing the stories doesnt help your cause

we're officially being cyber-bullied as it is defined by Wikipedia

Indeed.

What is puzzling in the whole case is how people think that "he started it" somehow justifies adults being idiots to each other. First it is a ship blowing up justifying emotional blackmail by suicide threats. Then it's suicide threats justifying public mocking and bullying. Then it's bullying justifying real-life threats to someone's family... Wonder what comes next. If the quality reasoning presented by the community so far continues, we will surely end up with murder and real-life wardecs. Escalation of an interweb spaceship game causing real life hurt leads to nuclear winter! "They started it", explains a survivor to the last surviving newspaper.

.

So tell me how you treat random strangers. They clearly haven't earned your respect. I mean how could they if they have never met you. Everybody new you meet is obviously disrespecting you. And what exactly is the criteria for your "respect".

After viewing all related events and material pertaining to this situation, the only conclusion anyone can deduct from all this is that The Mittani's apology and statements posted by 'His People' trying to justify his actions is nothing more than a classic example of hypocrisy.

1: I am not associated with cyber bullying and never will be.
2: Dont swear at me, you might get petitioned, much like I did when I said vomit.
3: I dont have a cause.

What I hav ebeen protesting against is the people obviously using it to try and leverage ccp into banning The Mittani simply because they hate him/gsf/cfc
