So is pvp.  
I don’t care about AFK, to each his/her risk assessment 😛 It’s just the whining AFTER they get killed while being AFK.  
And only some very strange people would claim that AFK equals playing

See, honesty pays!

At least you admit you’re a botter. Most don’t.

What makes you think it’s not made up already ? “AFK is bad” can mean a number of things. It could be a moral judgement, but in my mind it’s bad due to increased risk, something I always calculate as best as I can 😉  
Have fun in your little hisec pocket in lowsec.

I never pretended, I tried to reason with you, and the interpretation was yours. I admit, I had to give up rational discussion with you. People tried to convince me and, as you know, I resisted for a long long time, in many threads. But you kept on proving their point. You still do.

If you play nice on the forums, so will most other people. However, it’s sad to see that you chose an extremist point of view, face some heavy criticism, and are locked up in that endless loop. Moreover, your attempts at contributing to the discussion haven’t lead to any progress either way. I told you many many posts ago that that would happen. Sour grapes, or should I say, cookies from your own dough ?

I do not know the people who respond to you on these forums. I have never flown with any of them. We share an opinion on a game aspect, and on decency and honesty on the forums. My appreciation for them has only grown, that is true.

Have some intellectual honesty, and know when your opinion has been heard. Air time is not indefinite, and the final word will never be yours on a public forum.

> Which I agreed. I expect zero progress to be made here. Neither side is going to change position and CCP won’t be looking at this forum for feedback.

Leaves us with the question, why is this continuing ? Break the endless loop.

Soooo…  
The truth now why he is so set against ganking…

A self admitted Bot Aspirant!

I sure hope I dont come across your HS pocket cause if I do, I will go out of my way to gank you…cause i really dislike you as a player and as a person.

and besides…Bot Aspirants need to die more than Bots do.

See ? Up to your old tricks again.

Do you see as many threads about **facilitating ganking** as you do about **nerfing ganking**? Who’s ■■■■ posting ? Who’s making a fuzz ? And you honestly believe that will not trigger a necessary response ?! That’s bull, and if you were even slightly separated from your favorite subject, you’d acknowledge that.

In your case? Yes. I see you furiously replying and then as you get more emotional, you make more typing errors and don’t proof read and just post.

Erm. How was he insulting? You out here using abelist slurs every chance you get and we’re the ones being insulting cause we laughing at you?

Did you ever notice how these threads quiet down when you don’t respond ? It’s almost like you’re the life of the party, not the subject.

> [@Lucas\_Kell](#):
>
> So you think that because more people oppose ganking and post about it than people who support ganking and post about that, that’s somehow counters the objective fact that gankers ■■■■ up any thread that even mentions ganking? I’d argue that shows a fundamental problem with ganking.

People who accepted ganking as a game reality will rarely post about it, except as a response to yoyo’s calling for a nerf or abolishment of ganking. Calls for change, especially of the kind where people put themselves in the corner of “massively solo online” in a pvp game, will always do that. That doesn’t make the gankers wrong, despicable, lowlifes, crackheads, basement dwellers or window lickers…

And literally ALL, every single one of your so-called OBJECTIVE FACTS, lack any evidence. The way you present things is one of the main reasons why you are served with sour grapes.
