Let’s see we have a thread about a forbidden topic but it’s ok because everyone is off topic 🤣 ---

Because I honestly don’t know. I stopped playing due to RL stuff literally a week before F2P came out. I would _assume_ that evasion is officially against the rules, however. ---

Well, just in the last couple of posts, you’ve called multiple people “retards” and asked someone if you could “■■■■ them.” Do you seriously not understand why your posts get hidden? ---

If you flag any of my posts as a bad post, I will step back and get a rest. But you are a civilized person and probably will not understand what Im talking about. Is about to fight back the trolls, not people like you. ---

If you want to “fight back the trolls,” write some logical arguments against them, or at least post some response memes. You don’t do it by making fun of what is essentially a disability, or by sexually harassing someone. ---

Pretty sure I read earlier in this thread where someone was told by developers and other higher ups that calling someone a retard in the forum was just fine and dandy. Boys being boys, and all that. ---

Just to be clear, in the Arena thread this player said [this](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/arena/258233/179) > [@Arena](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/arena/258233/179): > > I teach new players how to fight, and I have to say that I disagree with this sentiment to a large extent. I saw another post where this same player said that they were developing two players and now they are saying they have not played since F2P. So when I accused this player of trolling, I feel rather vindicated. ---

Sure, I haven’t seen the post, but I don’t care enough to go back through it all. “Boys being boys” perpetuates notions of toxic masculinity and I’m disappointed if that were the case, but it’s not my forums, so whatever. ---

I stopped playing ( _most_ games, not just this one) around summer 2016. So you are playing the forums with no play interest in the game. When I take breaks I don’t go on the forums. Seriously… EDIT - I was a bit miffed and posted before fully reading your reply . So you started playing again OK, well at least that is better. ---

No, two of my other characters received most of my focus during the past few months. I am actually planning to return to this one quite shortly, so if any forum enemies want to have a go at me, I’ll be launching a citadel of some sort soon, and will be war-eligible (god, the new system is so r…_stupid_).
