Seems @Uta_Asmai has hit the nail on the head and the usual suspects can’t handle it as normal and have proceeded to throw temper tantrums. 🍿🤣🍿 ---

> [@Tiger\_space\_Thedark](#): > > comparing murder ? He’s comparing something to murder. lol. Shooting your enemies war machine isn’t murder in a war. All of us in EO including all things on it are war machines. In Eve Online there are no good guys, heroes nor innocent beings. All of us are just space villains. ---

see @Uta_Asmai , you think everyone is the same, all gankers or pro gankers, but _some_ of us are different, so before you start writing essays you need to think and @kage1982 , you say ‘ya berk’ way too much, the right amount would be not at all, but it also hints that you have spent some time in the southern USA as not that many people outside of the south say ‘ya’ that is probably why no one knew of the word ‘berk’ on these forums before, because it is some southern slang that we have never heard of before. > [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > swallow this toad is it a chocolate frog? ![Fly Chocolate](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/e/a/d/ead46b83366fe7f0d93a76090cc0879872e8bcc5.webp) > [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > one dimensional trigger happy ‘genius’ players before you start naming people as gankers or pvpers, maybe research what they do in eve online first, as i mine, manufacture, explore, do pve, and occasionally will try to do fw around jita for a few hours before i unenlist and uta, i am fully capable of going to the dark side [Bounty on Uta Asmai](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/kill-contract-uta-asmai-to-see-if-he-will-shut-up-about-everything-until-he-figures-out-who-does-what-before-he-writes/521218) ---

> [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > So…welcome the the reality of EVE ONLINE Dude…you seem to have very profound difficulty separating fact from what is just your own rather biased personal opinion. So let me give you a hint. If there was a forum prize for who spouts the biggest load of _sheer unmitigated codswallop_…I’d nominate you for first prize. Time and again you offer your own personal opinion, which in itself if often not even based on anything factual or is based on total mis-representation, as if it were some gleaming pillar of evidence…when the only thing it is a pillar of is the inability of some to see beyond the end of their own nose. But that is not even the worst of it. Most of us are here for some light hearted banter…and some infallible person who comes across with a fanatical zeal rubs people the wrong way. Its like someone having a ‘The end of the world is nigh !’ endless rant over a game of Monopoly. _It’s just a game_. Maybe once in a while you should switch your computer off and try the _real_ reality. ---

I think that danger is what makes the game appealing, you know you had a real rush when your hands are shaking after a crazy encounter.
