This is a cynical half hearted gesture that rings very hollow. You have brought disgrace on the CSM, CCP and the Eve community in general. While I suppose it is "better than nothing" it does not undo the damage you have caused us all. Stepping down entirely is the only way to remove the stain of your poor judgement.

I ask you to look beyond your power mad aspirations and do the right thing for us all: Step down from the CSM so that we can begin the healing process and get some closure. Mainstream gaming media will adore you for it and the players will rejoice. Merely abdicating the Chair is a token gesture that will be viewed with cynicism not from just your detractors, but by everyone who is familiar with who your really are. I am outraged that you think this does anything to address the severity of what you have done to us all.

Instead of this token gesture, if in fact this what you think will atone for what you have done-do something meaningful and quit the the Council completely so that the CSM may once again enjoy the respect of the player base. I urge you to take into account the bigger picture and for once-do the right thing. Your full resignation is the one and only this that will set this right.

Holy ******* hypocrite. You're actually going to make me dig through my chat logs and pull out the logs of Riv admitting to me that you leaked CSM information to him. Up until this point I really didn't give enough of a **** to go through that effort, but your continuous hypocritical posting like your **** doesn't stink is really beginning to **** me off.

TL:DR I am not sorry at all, look how great Goonies are, business as usual. So much for the sincerity of the apology.

~deal with it~

Holy ****. You make it sound like you are the victim in all of this. You are a disgrace to human society Alex.

Ooh look at all the goon pubbies again, get another ping did ya? "To teh forums my pretties!!"

GTFO of the CSM Mittanni, simply resigning as chairman and staying in the CSM as a member is **** all.

Tbh CCP should be kicking you out, but we all know that's nevre gonna happen.

You're not getting my vote next year for supporting a cyberbully.

Well I guess he means non-Goonwaffe CFC members.

They're not pets by the way, despite what you ~elite playerVSgoons~ think.

I could care less about your double standards. Ever watched the bully show on MTV?
They always ******* cry in the end. How stupid you got to be not to realize this.

Anyway. My vote is my vote. This adoration panel ain't getting my support no more for being stupid.
As a CSM you look for community not your buddies. Fact.

Bunch of amateurs and it shows.

I expected more of you. despite hes good work hes action is inexcusable and ppl know that (yeah allot wont admit it because of there affliction but that's fine) i would have thought you would be one of the ppl to actually have the strength and courage to speak for him stepping down completely and not just as chair.

You're in the CFC. That's all they need.

At last someone who understands me
