BS, IRL and the stupidity of the mob mentality

Ok, so rant time again.
the stupidity of the Eve community can astound and amaze you. Someone makes a mistake, a large one true. Makes an attempt to make amends, get punished. But because of their play style, their Alliance affiliations and their IN-GAME reputation, no one seems to take the attempted apology seriously.

THEN, people start the REAL hate, far surpassing the original mistake, taking it to a point of threatening family, posting RL Addresses. All the while THEY hide behind the anonymity of a game account. It's utter BULLSHIT. Making in-game threats, meh, big deal. I've seen it a thousand times (I'm sure the one involved has likely seen millions either before or because of this) but when you make threats to people's family AFTER someone is stupid enough to post a RL address, that's crossing a line.


And to those who say that his actions DO fall in the category of Cyber Bullying. I think your full of shit. If this is the case then 90% of Eve is guilty of the same damn thing, especially Carebears after they get griefed.

This will be my last post on this trainwreck ( I hope)

Let if go people, this is just over shadowing the good CCP has been trying to do for out beloved game.


BTW, I look forward to the upcoming burning of Jita. Should be good fun and a hell of a show.
