Oh…cobblers. How you choose to react is entirely down to you. Other people are not responsible for your reactions. You are.

That little cockroach deserved it. Would dunk again.
That’s not a dunk. Glad to see you understand economics though.

It was an excellent dunk. A wonderful dunk. I only dunk because I care. I look forward to dunking him again in your honor.
Dunk.
Right, if you simply want a strawman debate about reaction sure, fact of the matter is you could pretend to be stoic about everything but in the end what you feel and what others feel are separate things, to place you’re feelings upon others that they should feel the way you feel is invalid and frankly a selfish self serving way to view life, I actually do understand that there are people who live this way, but considering this is a community not “my world”.
Secondly the next thing people like to say that people should allow toxic people to be toxic otherwise we are gimping them, this is completely a fallacy again we all live in a community like it or not, there’s a reason why CCP hasn’t gotten rid of carebears or the toxic, controversy pays.

Nobody’s asking anyone to feel the way they themselves feel. The point being made is that people are entirely responsible for their own reactions. It is called personal responsibility. Nobody has ‘made’ you react in a certain way…you chose to react that way entirely of your own volition.

You simply can’t get through the one dimensional thought process, perhaps it is society’s fault for encouraging dreggery.
Like posting in their forums for years…

It’s a game, best approached with sportsmanlike conduct.
In sports no one expects their team to only have an ever-increasing W/L track record, with endlessly ever-increasing performance, and throwing complete raging tantrums when the team has an L or when their favorite player regresses along some statistic like batting average.
Perhaps society did fail people, just not who you think.

I agree, but would you interact with a person who always flips the board because they find it fun while the other is simply trying to play a game?
The less accountable someone is the more their true hidden personalities come out, it’s what happens when someone drinks alcohol or gets money, then those traits surface.
So you see, this is a PvP game, so crybears are indeed the ones flipping the board (crying on the forums instead of settling it in game)
That’s true, which is why all the PvPers post on their mains so you know theyre not just trolling and all the crybears post on their alts so they can lie and gaslight as much as they want with no accountability. It’s crazy how hard y’all have gaslit yourselves at this point. Calling us out for ■■■■ YOU do lol.
Also, this isn’t true. A majority of the most devious players in game are actually totally normal, cool, folks just like anyone else. As a matter of fact, the few toxic experiences I’ve had in my 10+ years of playing this game are all from toxic entitled bears saying the most toxic insults they can possibly muster because they died in a video game.
Do you say someone is a bad person if they kill you in COD? No, obviously, that’s the point of the game. Same goes for Eve.

The irony is that all my best moments in Eve have occurred around losses. Total chaos…utter carnage…great fun. And a ‘gf’ at the end.
Ironically, yesterday I almost lost my fast align hauler Gnosis to a very clever bait where some guy deliberately put his easy kill bait ship on the other side of about 20 Triglavian ships…and I fell for it. I was scrammed and fired on but got away. And it occurred to me that losing that ship would have been worse than being ganked…as there’s no ‘gf’ with NPCs and no-one to smack talk with. It’s just cold and clinical…like all PvE.

And a part of this game, is people get to flip the board
Don’t like it? Play something else
Cept this is a vidya game. Not real life
Sorry bruv. I know you have a hard time differentiating between fantasy and reality, but it doesn’t mean the rest of us do
Or do you support people getting arrested for war crimes for playing No Russian or

I bait the other player by moving my pawns, and then cleverly take the rook while they are focusing on my exposed bishop. The other player starts ranting, and demands that they should be allowed to have as many queens as they want, and that I shouldn’t be allowed to move any of my pieces into their half of the board unless they agree to it.

Not quite true. Lets say you scram a wealthy miner’s pod , make him beg for his life, then pod him anyhow. Does that not say alot about what you are like in real life GiX (The Ripper) Firebrand?
It is rumoured that Githany roams the streets IRL in her vigillante costume in hunt of the ever elusive supervilain Aiko, the granny basher.
not me, because I haven’t finished the capsule course yet…
WHAT?
Actually unlike the crybears, I honor my word and ransoms

Some of this discussion depends on what a person includes in ‘interact’.
Yes, Eve is a video game, but there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed in online interactions. Thing is, though, the lines I’d draw are normally crossed by people who claim to be peaceful. These are the rants where they wish death and disease on one’s entire family or ask for a real address, ostensibly to punish them physically or visit upon them some other kind of real life harm. Doxxing or what-have-you.
Yes, there are people out there who mine salt and I think that behavior is questionable, but that’s all that it is. It can be questioned because it’s in a grey area. It’s hard to know who provoked who or where the line between an acceptable level of smack talk and provocation should be drawn. It is generally agreed that the line is definitely crossed at the point of offering a real life threat, even if it is veiled in just enough vagary to keep the threat from being explicit.
I have never had anyone who came after me in any area of space ever cross that line into wishing me real life harm, at least to my face. That applies to gankers, lowsec pirate corporations or small gangs, NPSI fleets, wardeccers, enemy nullsec alliances or whatever else has come to shoot at me or my space assets. I have seen, though, plenty of people cross that line when they lose a mining or hauling ship, and that evidence guides my opinion on which class of players are responsible for the most line crossing.
