I propose a Seleene monologue on titans, preferably set to some form of dramatic self-loathing music. |

Having been in no less than a dozen corporations with my various alts over the years where this kind of thing was standard fare, color me less than impressed by the bold. Making people extremely mad, upset, and generally unwilling to log in and fight back has been a mainstay of EVE pvp since I created character number one back in 2004.
As for the incite to suicide bit, you can characterize the apology as a feint if you like, but the apology was for that action. He may not have fully bent over, gracefully quit EVE of his own volition forever, and whatever other extreme penance the forum-alt community was clamoring for, but he made a public apology and a private one with the guy and even sent him isk.
I've been frank from the get-go of this shitstorm that the address was his gaff, premeditated or drunkenly conjured by a fel wizard hat. But, in terms of EVE conduct in general that was a toe-step over the line. Considering the responses from the mittani detractors was not merely mind-games, but direct physical threats (complete with address listing), I think you can extrapolate there's a whole lot more sadism tucked away in the unknown lurker publords than in the mind of one king of space. |

Because some in Eve consider this behavior "standard fare", as you put it, doesn't make it right. I saw lots of things when I was in middle school that weren't appropriate. But quantity didn't make any of them right.
This is EVE, a game, where the rules are the EULA and the words of CCP.
If a practice is common and not met with a response from CCP, that is all that matters. If CCP comes along and says "hey, this is now against the rules," then you can talk about it being wrong in the sense that it is not permitted.
Since we have no right, as in "righteous," cause in EVE aside from giving people at CCP a job; however, there's really no point in talking about right and wrong. There is only legal and illegal. |
