The silence you hear is the sound of Alex holding his breath and praying silently that when this is over he can still play Eve. Any sign of smugness from him at this point is pretty much a biomass sentence.

I think most of the actual (by which I mean rational, unselfishly motivated) disagreement is over what an appropriate consequence is.

They have been crying more them them lately.

i am at a loss for words

Do we seriously want to be publicly represented by someone that doesn't have the slight sense necessary not to get wasted before a televised panel he has to speak at, during an all expenses paid trip? That seems a rather mindboggling idea to me.

Doesn't bother me, doesn't bother ccp (have you seen oveur vids?), probably doesn't bother many who voted for him. The only issue is what he actually said. Even then If he wasn't a goon this would have blown over already.

Ultimately the room of discussion is limited. The CSM grants a certain amount of personal visibility, influence and advantages. With the perks comes responsibility, and consequence for the breach of that responsibility needs to be unforgiving.

Now that the media got its hands on this mess (and mind you the same should happens if the media didn't, as it should be a matter of principle), the only way for the CSM to keep it's credibility is to remove the offender.

Then stop posting?

How many politicians have been caught with prossies, doing drugs, having an affair, and are still in their seats?

I'd rather be represented by someone who has made a mistake, is willing to admit it and learn from it, otherwise known as a human being, than some of the hollier than thou politicians we get. Whether or not he will learn form it is something that will have to be seen as until it is it is just conjecture that he will.

I can see both side of this argument, as I have no vested interest in either camp, and in the end what will happen will happen and we have to accept it or vote with our money.

Noooo, the silence is the fact that more level-headed approaches are being properly considered before anything happens. You know, like Seleene said earlier. Anything else is pretty much a piece of conjecture.

This too is a good post.

That was a terrible apology, and so insincere.

You are only saying this to desperately try and stave off any impact it might have on your RL career in Law.

Then stop posting?

so true

but then his own corp/ally mates makes all that even worse for him and ccp by all this not even remotely funny posts

What career?

this isnt politics and the csm isnt a democracy

ccp will do whats best for them , and imo that is the banhammer

Yeah, not sure did I post it here? But in the tweets, Seleene said a few days will be the official statements.

Not that many actually, especially between those that covered prominent positions, and the CSM chair is a very prominent position in its context.



I'd rather be represented, in a future mandate, by someone who as made a large mistake and is willing to actually face its full consequences, instead of just apologizing and hoping in getting away with it with a wirstslap.

Oh God, so depressed.

Gonna OD and end it all.

The only medication I have access to is laxatives.

Wish me luck.

His apology isn't a troll, but it's not sincere either. The initial reaction of "deal with it" was much more in line with what he'd like to say. He didn't realize how far this would blow up in terms of it being covered by mainstream gaming sites and figures this meandering apology will preserve his chairmanship and his account.

Knowing how CCP loves to cover for their golden boys, he's probably right.

Would that include the usage of the banhammer on your illegitimate self?
