Maybe I should have referenced the thread where someone complains about the new ship UI being way too big. It was with that in mind that I made my comment 🙂

Oh yes the new UI will probably take much more space unfortunately. However as long as it’s opt-in I can keep using the old one. But I have the feeling it won’t last too long. 😅

You are right…

Your effort REALLY and SERIOUSLY trying to sell this as ‘the truth’ is a real Problem here…

Pathetic, stop even trying it…fraud is fraud and EVERYBODY knows it because if it looks like fraud and smells like fraud the sheer possibility that it is none is astronomical low…

And ‘gaslighting’?

IF someone gaslights than it is you because YOU are the one that constantly tries to devalue my posts because you do not like what i state.

So this is a YOU problem here…

Again…stop it…leave the forum if you are so annoyed but stop telling other people what they are able to say and what not, this is not an us social media company.

In europe we have - in opposition to the us- REAL free speech an not just ‘what we, the companies allow you to say’.

If in your world stating facts is ‘gaslighting’ because the stated facts are not conviniend to everyone well…let’s say you have always the right to leave…but what you have no right to is to draw the bordeline ‘solutions’ used in the us for that…

Oh my…that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all week.

Clearly you have never been to Europe, and I increasingly wonder if you have ever been to a planet called Earth.

Capitalism is the mark of the truly free. There’s nothing stopping anyone from finding a mountainside and living off the land without capitalism. No food, clothing, water, shelter, or healthcare unless that person knows how to provide it for him or herself. There are no corporate slaves here.

I don’t get it? I have been away for a bit.  
– scrolling up –  
okay from the looks of it, the original thread started in February then April 20th was about to close when it got a bump by @Arthur_Aihaken on June 21st. Then 2 months later another bump by @Drosera_Binata then less than 300 posts. September and October we see a lot of meme PVPing. A huge increase to over 1100 posts to date.

So its all Arthur’s fault for bumping it?

Have fun!

This thread has come full circle 10 or 12 times now. Its like watching the same silly movie so many times that you have every bit of dialogue memorized down to the tiniest detail.

Im convinced its been left open purposely to entertain the folks behind the closed doors of FC. Its kind of like the flame sections of other old forums that existed back in the day ( or maybe still do ) that were just for this kind of thing.

Its all about beating the ■■■■ out of a 55 gallon drum with a ball bat to get those frustrations out. Its proven that it works. You always feel better after it happens and get it all out.

I say this thread needs to live forever, and ever, and ever.

May the gankers and anti gankers live in peace and harmony…forever and ever.

Blah Blah Blah…

post something worth reading and not out of helplessness, and because you have no other arrows in your quiver, always the same taunts and insults…

It’s REALLY boring…

You have NOTHING so you try to make a mountain out of every molehill(like the ‘you said christmas’ post(one week LOL))…

Pathetic…

And low, even for someone like you…

But i don’t know why i even expect more…you’ve not been able to hit me argumentative for MONTHS now, you were just able to insult me…so…maybe i should just lower my expedtations to ZERO, hm?

Is that want you want me to do?

No arguments from you?

Well…i still have hope, maybe a miracle happens and you find something that is actually, hm, hurting me in a logical way?

Just SOMETHING that lets me think ‘hm…maybe he has something there’…

Until now?

Nothing in your record…

And that is REALLY REALLY SAD for an argument that took this long and was only stealing both our lifetime…
