People having a _proper_ debate or discussion concede points, and admit being wrong ( or at least don’t carry on repeating the same proven wrong ‘facts’ again and again ).

You clearly haven’t got a clue about either free speech or the law. There is no law in any country on Earth ( not even America ) that allows you to say just whatever you like without repercussion. And free speech does not make what you say _correct_. Trying to use it to bolster your ludicrous claims is quite absurd. ---

> [@Christine\_Creed](#): > > I say this thread needs to live forever, and ever, and ever. I disagree. It distracts from discussion about _actual_ in-game content. It’s just another of those endless rants about ’ the game OUGHT to be _this_ way…'…yet another supposed discussion about ganking from people who have never been ganked. Yet another ‘think of the poor noobs’ from people who don’t actually give a damn about the noobs. And the ‘discussion’ is pointless…because the whiny ranting people have already made up their mind before anything is even posted. They want to whine, and no amount of ‘discussion’ or actual facts makes any difference. As Captain Benzie says in one of his videos…such people are simply playing the wrong game. I’d rather discuss actual EVE events, fittings, how people can avoid ganking, what other activities people can do, and so on. Getting caught up in someone’s endless shout at the clouds is a waste of time. ---

I really wish those Anti Ganking groups just try to resolve their issues through in-game pvp. Instead of begging CCP to change the mechanics. ---
