The past few days have certainly been interesting, no matter which side of the "isle" you stand on. If there is one thing Mittens absolutely excels at, it is generating controversy. However, amidst the discussions surrounding events at Fanfest, one of the other CSM members, Darius III, has been extremely outspoken against his fellow CSM member. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with having an opinion. However, blatant hypocritical political manuevering should be brought to the playerbase's attention and be open for discussion
Almost every CSM member save for a couple, have voiced their opinions on the matter. For the most part these opinions have been positive and supportive of what is essentially a fellow co-worker, someone who you may disagree with on a fundamental level but who is working with you for the betterment of EVE Online. Like so

However, while most of the CSM has been falling in to support The Mittani for all he does for the eve community and the game, Darius has done the opposite

Seems like a major disconnect, no? Again, Darius III is entitled to his opinion. I grant him that. However, he took things to the next level. Typical to goon nature, we mocked Darius' responses and posts. Instead of doing what any intelligent CSM member would do and just shutup, he decided it was time to harass goons. Soon after I replied to one of his posts, mentioning earlier allegations of Darius breaking the NDA, I received the most curious evemail:

Keep saying that there was NDA breach when devs said clearly there never was. I will continue enjoying your impotent rage as I sit on CSM6, 7 and 8. Toodles. Mittani will be out in 24 hours, bet?
Strange. Amid all of the accusations of immaturity Darius has pointed at The Mittani, Darius has himself decided that he needed to send goons immature eve mails to gloat about the situation surrounding the Mittani, essentially implying that he had much to gain from his opposing The Mittani.
Not only that, but I was not the only goon to get one of these evemails. Several of them went out to goons that posted replies mocking his comments. From someone who has been demanding the best behavior out of the CSM, this kind of hypocritcal behavior should be totally and absolutely reviled. While the other CSM members put aside old rivalries and hatreds in order to accomplish common goals, Darius has clung to his hatred of goons, unable to separate his CSM position from what happens in game. No matter what you believe should have happened or might happen to The Mittani, at least he is not hypocritical.
No you have to ask yourself, for future CSM elections, do you believe it is wise to continue to allow someone like Darius III to represent the players when he doesn't even have the basic decency to leave in-game events in-game and act like the ideal CSM member and adult he so hypocritically criticises the Mittani for not being? |
