Statement regarding my CSM campaign

[Karynn_Denton]

Ms Valentine,

I take issue with this attempt to whitewash your image to save your political career.

@Komi_Valentine

I have been criticized for my behavior, especially living in Ushra’Khan space and claiming I was a pacifist. I want to make it clear that although I have taken refuge for a week in their space, It doesn’t make me a promoter of violence.

No, not a promoter. But by accepting the sanctuary of an alliance who deals daily in violence, you are giving it tacit approval. And yet, you took umbrage at my corporation removing derelict MTUs from our constellation - something we are very clear and open about in our mission statement - and refused to do business with us. So removing neglected MTUs is “unethical”, while allowing a violent capsuleer alliance to harbour a wanted criminal is fine? Then that is the morality you will judged by.

@Komi_Valentine

Why did I travel there?
It was by accident. I used a needlejack filament to escape my bounty hunters (The Hunt for Komi Valentine is Over!) in Frarn. I ended up just 12 jumps away from their base. My Probe was not fit and we were running short of supplies . They received my distress call and answered.

So purely by accident you jumped into the sovereign space of an alliance whose director just happens to be a sponsor of your Frarn workhouse?
How convenient!

@Komi_Valentine

It’s not right to portray me as a terrorist.

Don’t worry, no-ones portraying you as a terrorist. You don’t inspire terror in anyone.
We can legitimately call you a criminal though.

@Komi_Valentine

I was in distress and needed help. Ushra’Khan were willing to rescue me and grant me support. I’m very thankful for that fact, but it does not define who I am.

You could’ve always said no. Y’know, stand by your principals and all that. Defining who you are is simple - you say one thing, and your actions say the opposite. You’re a sanctimonious hypocrite.
