This sort of bloodthirst serves to suggest that Eturrer was the true victor of the Tripwire incident.

My view is that Kim is crazy and twisted enough to justify anything to herself out of her hatred of the Federation. Asking “who benefits?” is the kind of thing that works with rational actors, not crazy people. No doubt in her mind this episode reflects well on her “honor” as a “Caldari Officer.” I wouldn’t put orchestrating this as a false flag past her.

At least our judicial system does not authorise or promote the public display and involvement in executions televised and transmitted throughout the entirety of our sovereign space. Whilst Grand Admiral Eturrer was one of the greatest turncoats of our current era, I’d have thought that for all the pontification about common decency and the inalienable rights of man from those in the Federation that one would’ve found his quite frankly disgusting method of execution to be deplorable.

Capital punishment is the highest of penalties that can be imposed upon another and should be treated in a way that reflects the gravity of such a sentence, not used as a means of boosting the flagging ratings and public approval of a flagging President willing to sacrifice a living human to the curdled cries of a baying mob. And certainly not for something as shallow as ‘entertainment’, as if one could put public execution by immolation in the same category as one of the Fed’s vapid holoflicks that are churned out by the bushel.

I understand where your coming from on this, honestly I can’t say I would even disagree. She couldn’t be that daft to expose what could easily be taken as a demerit on herself (letting those under her command be able to have such a situation occur) and blaming its results on the enemy. There’s crazy then there’s idiotic. One could say she is crazy I suppose but she isn’t _that_ idiotic.

That is not “view”, that is a public insult, slander and hostile propaganda.

No, it’s a view. I’ve had people refer to me as crazy and/or twisted before, I tend to take it as a compliment. Also, I hooked up Ms Antolliere with a change of Identity and enough cash to get anywhere in the cluster she wants and start a new life. So that’s a thing.

Again with the thin legal understanding. Slander is spoken, defamation is written. In order for a statement to be considered either, it must be proven false. Further, you and I are both public figures and the issue of your sanity is one very much in public controversy. That makes it open for public discussion.

But, I am not unmoved by a genuine desire for privacy. If you are so concerned with your reputation, I would be more than glad to retract my opinion should you retire from public view and cease making public statements.

Uh … Ms. Vero? Maybe it’s different where you are, but …

Slander is spoken, _libel_ is written.

Defamation is an attack on reputation, whether written or spoken-- a libel or slander.

As much as I may detest Diana’s insistence on publicly shaming this man’s friends and family by their associations, this statement is just patently ridiculous. While the whole ‘collaboration’ terminology makes things sound far more serious than they are, as a crewman on a militia ship, he definitely crossed the line into ‘fraternization with the enemy’. Even outside an active warzone, that’d be grounds in most nations to be cashiered and face at least 5-20 in military presence. And since he was apparently caught in the act, it’s pretty solid evidence.

Lets look at what passes for the law Kim is operating from:

"Collaboration with enemy (assisting enemy) implies giving aid or comfort to enemy. It may include:

Communicating without authority with an enemy  
Giving an enemy information that would or might be useful to him  
Providing an enemy with supplies  
Harbouring or protecting an enemy  
Serving with enemy forces or participating in propaganda having been taken prisoner."

Kim was specifically asked what “information” was given, and provided no answer.

Thus, the conviction relies on “Communicating without authority with an enemy.” So called “fraternization” you alluded to would seem to fall under this section as well. Of the quoted violations, this section is obviously the least serious. Conviction under its terms implies a lack of evidence to support any of the more serious offenses. That’s what I call thin.

If only to avoid embarrassment, Ms. Vero, one who presumes to correct another’s grammar should maybe try to avoid making a grammatical error in the process. The importance of the correction doesn’t make that much less true I don’t think.

… and grammar isn’t the only field where such a principle might apply.

Although … it might also usefully demonstrate a quality we all have in common: we’re all (sometimes embarrassingly) human.

Are you still talking about the slander / libel thing? That was a legal nitpick, not a grammatical one. Did you not already make that point? Did I not already acknowledge it?

My sanity neither is, nor ever was a public controversy. I am a former marine and we were running psychological and medical evaluation every year. Unlike Federation, where soldiers visit psychologists on daily basis, we do not allow mentally unhealthy personnel to wear weapons.

Moreover, my medical papers are available on request.

Those who doubt my sanity without checking the facts first, are just trolls. Or simply trying to insult me because of my succeesses on the battlefield.

Quite counterwise. If you want to accuse anyone in something it’s YOU who must bring the evidence instead of asking them to prove any deranged assumption about them to be wrong.

When it is a bare word against bare word, one who is being spreading defamation is considered guilty.

I doubt anyone cares about your medical records. I certainly don’t. My opinion of your sanity is based on years worth of observing your unstable behavior. You don’t have to like my opinion, in fact it is more than a little pleasing to me that it vexes you.

This entire exchange is a pretty good example of what I’m talking about. A more well adjusted person would have simply dismissed my opinion as irrelevant, and not dignified it further. Anyone observing is perfectly capable of putting together that we are enemies who have little if any respect for each other. Instead of being secure enough in your “reputation” you elevate what would otherwise be an insignificant jibe into outlandish accusations of “slander.”

You treat my opinion as if it has actual weight and capability to damage you. I suppose I should be flattered.

No, actually, because their romantic liaisons occurred on a CalMil facility, it’d fall under “Harbouring or protecting an enemy”. And if you dislike that idea, you should probably check the Federation’s UCMJ regarding fraternization with the enemy, as well. Because I promise, it’s in there.
