Seriously, though. This thread (the last thread, actually) was useful at one point. It seems to me to have lost that usefulness. The crusaders seem unwilling to acknowledge that any progress has been made at all.

Given the changes that have happened which not so long ago seemed inconceivable, that strikes me as a sign of either bad faith or a fundamentalist approach to conflict resolution.

I had merc on reddit apologising for the anti-LGBT+ bullying in goonwaffe which led to me leaving goons. He was told that the guy came on here tripping down on the transphobia and gaslighting. Then nothing happened. Last I looked the guy is still there, and still has a shitload of roles.

a "fundamentalist approach" to getting rid of a man who has been documented doing the following:

  • trying to prevent the ban of a documented pedophile
  • being banned from communities in his town for sexual harassment/abusive behavior
  • stonewalling moderation because the victim of an incident is an "amber heard bitch"

you're saying that disavowing this person in the exact way this site was able to do with far fewer resources is too heavy-handed, when there is already tacit support for his return visible in both in-game messages and GSF forum posts; I'd ask if you feel that banning Mittani is too "woke" but it seems like you already answered that

1) Unpersoning Alex from SA and from GSF are not comparable tasks. Of course it took far fewer resources and less time for SA to do so. Plus, SA had nothing to lose.

2) My point isn't that Alex should be allowed to stay around. My point is that many of the people calling in this thread for Alex to be disavowed are doing so in a strident and tiresome manner that seems (to me) to ignore and refuse to acknowledge progress as a means to keep up the intensity and pressure.

Stop talking as if people who aren't doing things just as you want when you want must have bad motives. It's bad faith.

This is what it looks like when you have armchair middle management trying to paper over a CEO level HR crisis.

Claim everything is fixed, cast doubts on those asking for change, focus on getting back to normal without actually addressing many of the core problems, throw up the cowardly suggestion that they are unable to do anything further etc.

Yeah, 100%.

I have no axe to grind with any of you. It's a complete coincidence that I started playing as all this poo poo exploded, but given that fresh perspective, I think several of you should really step back and think about what you're doing here.

EvE is just a game, but you're still a real person and so are the people who your actions effect. If you just want to get back to the video game as quickly and quietly as possible after something like this blows up, if you treat people upset about that with arrogant indifference, you never deserved a position of authority in a video game guild or anywhere else.

I have hung out around Dozer for a year or two in a non-EVE SA-sourced Discord server and so far he has demonstrated through his actions and words he's not that person anymore. He does still get tilted easy but he's better able to manage that and disengage when he recognizes it.

Like, the difference here is Dozer's either a very good actor or his efforts to be better have had some success. Compare this to Mittens who - very evidently! - was and is the same rear end in a top hat from the Wizard Hat Incident.

I'll concentrate all the wildly unpopular takes I can into one post:

- Atrum is a good guy
- Asher is also pretty decent
- Globby is right about the likely trajectory of Goosefleet, and the recommended corps/alliances in the OP are mostly bad for newbies. He's wrong about kd ratios though: that is not the reason.
- Those wanting Mittens banned from Goonfleet clearly misunderstand the way that WhatsApp, discord etc make corp membership and forum access sideshows. If GSF is losing badly and he wants to come back then getting his account back on gsf dot com will not be the hard part. The INN links are the key to that link, anyway.
- The biggest punishment for him would in any case to have been left ruining his life by clinging to a pathetic existence as pretend emperor of space in a silly and dying game
- I wish everyone would stop saying "carrying water" and "showing their rear end" because they're wildly overused itt

I'll balance with a blindingly obvious point of consensus:

- Bill, you unbanned Xenuria for a laugh, so stop pretending you are virtuous as a result of him using the opportunity to gently caress himself

Endie posted:

- Bill, you unbanned Xenuria for a laugh, so stop pretending you are virtuous as a result of him using the opportunity to gently caress himself

This is slightly incorrect or not really the way you are implying it, here lemme explain:

I have watched Xenuria egotistically debate people (he's tried a number of times to initiate arguments with me in the past) and recognized pretty early on how over-confident and self absorbed he is. I also knew he was wanting to combat an oldschool SA poster Hezzy, and from a brief review of Hezzy's posting history, I made the assumption that it would probably be an entertaining back and forth. I also assumed Xenuria would try his standard "breadcrumb trickle" argument strategy where he attempts to guide someone down a path for what he believes is some epic "I HAVE CAUGHT YOU, now here's the super juxtapose MeGaPwN gotcha play!". From what I gathered lurking on the SA EVE thread(s) I came to the conclusion that Xenuria's dumbshit gimmick had a high probability of failing against someone the likes of Hezzy, and the result would probably be pretty funny.

However, I in no way expected that level of "holy poo poo did he really just do that?!" failure.

Also I didn't unban him, I forwarded the request on to Redline and said "do with this information what you want" which resulted in Redline unbanning him.

I wasn't posting that snippet as a "I'M THE VRITUOUS MAN ON MY HORSE", I was posting it because of his comment at the end although I think somewhere in one of these threads I took more credit than I should have to be funny. I think I even edited it to include the zoomed in version highlighting said comment b/c it's loving gold mine.






Also, Endie, I don't really think that box you stand on is as high as you think it is, there is stink of irony emanating from that trail of lifeless carcasses behind your hover-round as well.

I got banned for an admittedly rude, and poorly worded analogy about mittani that was right.

Also, for being right that there was a clear need to address what was at minimum a pattern of systemically ignored harassment, abuse, sexual abuse or a fuckup so bad it functioned & looked exactly like one and saying don't touch my post about this problem, fix the problem, and that this is necessary because clearly the available channels do not work or exist - my one mistake was I'd closed the window where i was begging mittani to take this seriously & didn't post it in the same post

In my own thread in a forum that had no rules. Lol.

Did xttz actually see the stuff go down when it went down?
I can see how if you didn't see the way it kind of simmered for a few days as people were trying to get folks to do anything, it could look like an out of nowhere blowup & people being unreasonable and refusing to talk and just trying to tear poo poo down

1- For leadership to publicly disavow Mittani.
2- For leadership to state plain simply: this is what Mittani did wrong.

For what it's worth I've played EVE for about one year (2020, obviously) out of the last six or so. I resubbed the same day I was given the exec corp. Most of the last few weeks have been spent catching up on the details of recent events. That included a "fun" exercise on what actually went wrong behind the scenes with mittani/xenuria because it's something that should not be allowed to occur again.
Of course Mittani's actions weren't acceptable - as a direct result I'm back in this dumb dying game because GSF needs to follow through on being a place where every member feels safe & welcome. Sadly I don't have the same amount of free time for space MMOs that I used to, but genuine changes have happened and will continue to happen.

hey if youre serious about getting caught up id read the goldmined thread and not just rely on the opinions of the directorate
if you actually read the whole thing, the case for "banning and disavowing mittens by stating what he actually did and that defending him will not be tolerated" makes itself
given that we had a policy of banning people for pushing alternate CSM ballots, i dont think its unreasonable to make it official GSF policy that posting mittani sex pest denialism will result in a blacklist
