I’m not sure that he is falsely insinuating anything. When a group of people engages in toxic behaviour, and none of them will acknowledge it or criticize it, then it kind of makes you wonder about the group.

Like, uh, the other day someone tried to join my alliance, and they were making a lot of anti-Semitic slurs. It was inappropriate. I told them this isn’t acceptable, and I don’t condone that kind of behaviour. I don’t have any problem stating that in public, but for some reason the antiganking community is unable to do this? Why is that?

If somebody asks me whether I support anti-Semitic discrimination in EvE Online, my response is, “No, absolutely not.” I don’t see the need to write a lengthy essay explaining why I can’t or won’t denounce anti-Semitism.

So you agree that Gix is guilty of the fallacy of guilt by association.

Thank you for agreeing.

Whether someone is guilty or not of a logical fallacy in a forum argument still can’t come close to being compared to being a real-life discriminating bigot.

What ‘community’ ? There’s your basic logical error. I mean…is there a ‘blonde community’ ? Clearly every blonde person must think the same as every other blonde person. And we all know blonde’s have more fun…or…oh hell, no…isn’t that stereotyping ? I mean, you are _using_ stereotyping in your efforts to supposedly condemn it.

You mean like people who engage in the utterly toxic behaviour of falsely insinuating and acting like they are witchfinder general at Salem…and _you_ refuse to condemn it ?

Yes…it does make me wonder.

Not really. I am sincerely asking the question. As I really would like an answer, to know where you stand on the issue.

The fact that you are absolutely _backflipping_ and doing everything you can to not answer, well.

Cept I’m not being false 😃 You know which fallacy you’re using now right? 😃

LOL. Man. Sad to see it. You were doing so well. Almost learning to EVE. Then just went full Drac. Its honestly sad. I feel for you.

You realize you already claimed to be part of the AG movement and are stacking ships for that effort right?

Mm I think you’re confused. The issue is people are literally sexually harrassing another player due to the fact that she engages in TOS and EULA supported gameplay.

You realize this behavior happens precisely because they can’t separate the game from reality right?

My advice to you? Use those fancy ships and go out and gank/kill someone in low.

Walk in those shoes and see how much stuff gets slinged your way 😃

I have no desire to be part of your virtue signalling grandstanding toxicity. _Leave me alone_ or I will call in the moderators as you are violating just about every rule there is.

ROFL. Full on Drac huh?

You can go ahead and snitch if it makes you feel better. Just don’t expect any respect in the future 😃

Not really violating any rules TBH. Merely asking a question. And you’ve more than answered 😃

The threat really does confirm your answer 😃

On an snark aside note, its sad to see. I pity you, truly.

‘Respect’ from so toxic a person as you is utterly worthless. I wish to discuss the actual topic of threads…_and that alone_…and not get caught up in your nauseating and toxic witch hunting. The person who has shown off their true colours here is actually you…and it is not a pleasant sight.

I think maybe the point of asking people whether they agree or disagree, for example, with anti-Semitic slurs in EvE Online, is to try and establish some kind of consensus or agreement as to what is and what isn’t acceptable behaviour. I wouldn’t say it’s a witch hunt, but rather just a very reasonable attempt to establish some basic norms of decency and common courtesy. Is that too much to expect?

I can only thus conclude that you would not recognise decency and common courtesy if if fell out of space and made a 200 mile wide crater. Gix’s behaviour here has been absolutely disgusting…and I see you merely trying to add to it. Have you no shame at all ?

Neither of you seem to grasp the extent to which it is you who is being shown up.
