[18:05:30] riverini > DIE NIGGERS1 DIE!!!
The CFC members having been negatively affeccted by these racist remarks did the appropriate thing, and began to file petitions with CCP. However, within moments, a GM informed the CFC members that they should no longer file any petitions, and many petitions filed by members are already closed.
The CFC members were then told "just block him"
Blocking someone is not an action that all members of the CFC should have to take because another eve player decides to post racist remarks in local chat.
CCP really should make this pilot abide by TOS and EULA when playing this game, and if he cannot play the game along those lines, then maybe he should not be allowed to play. Why should we all suffer in this game due to a racist?
So he shot a character with an offensive character name? DIE ( racist character name) DIE!!

EvE Online is a cut throat gaming environment with evil individuals who will sell your mother to pilot their Tech3. You are getting offended over a derogatory word? Sure, it's widely inappropriate in Real Life, but with many games... There is a pvp solution.
If you don't like getting called names, teach them a lesson. Petitioning to get someone banned is not a legit strategy. It actually goes to show how weak you are.
If your skin isn't thick enough to shrug off such derogatory language, perhaps gaming in general is not for you. You will see this language everywhere. How you react to it is up to you.
Just hunt him down and pod him. Let him swear up and down because of that.
That's the beauty of EvE Online. Anything and Everything goes. The Game is player run. So run it. This thread is not so much about what he said, but rather the unique response CCP has decided to take when there is no press involved in the incident. I see nothing wrong with CCP's response. Every single game has individuals who say racist things. I mean hell, anyone who has ever played World of Warcraft know exactly what "Barrens Chat" is. I'm not racist in the least bit but I will never allow a child to offend me by spouting off ignorant things. I just laugh at his lack of education. Simply reading the word, even knowing it was said in a malicious way does not offend me. Even if it were directed at me. It comes down to a simple comparison. Someone calls you a Buttface on the playground. At the age of 9, this is extremely offensive. What do you do? Do you run to mommy and tell? Do you sit there, smile and not give a damn? Or do you punch him in the friggn face? If CCP did something for every single racist comment in EvE Online, we'd have noone to blow up. If you are offended by their chat, put them on block. I support CCP's response in this situation. I see, so "higher standard" and "in game vs out of game" only applies when it is people you don't like. Which has been blatantly obvious to everyone with two eyes open this whole time. The Mittani was targeted because he said something stupid and was a goon. No one batted an eye when BoB members wanted to kill, in real life, goons.
We need more evidence then some possibly edited screen caps is all. If its true. Then it needs GM to action it.
Its not like we have a fanfest unedited video to look at or anything.

There was an apology posted on twitter in response to this.
To the goons that means its OK over and done with, and they will of course leave him alone now.

He should attempt to recompense the people he insulted; resign from his position at EVE News 24 for a medium term period and be issued with a week long ban. Then you might have a point. 
Nope Im going by what the goons say.
Not by what actually happened to mittens.
