What is it in your personal life or your brain that keeps you at this? None of what you say is the actual reason for any of this. So what is it? ---

No, for real, this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the miners. You want them to come crying to you, but they won’t - they will come to me, and pay me, and I will kill them, and they will thank me for it. ---

Good job implicating yourself. Look, you gank and grief in the game without any regard for the health of the game. It seems to be your right according to CCP. But this is my damned forum thread and you and others are way out of line and even after half a day, show no sign of letting up or getting bored. Damn but your personal issues have got to be ocean freaking deep. Whatever it is, could you just get over it long enough to get out of my thread and let people who could use some help get it? Damn. ---

Come on man, you know what I’m talking about, you can’t be that dense… Or is that you just want to jump on the troll wagon because you think it make’s you look cool? Hell, anybody with half a brain can look up the term Habitual and see what it means. In fact I already posted the meaning of it. What I was talking about is a 3 strike rule which would mean no reprieve after the 3rd strike, as in no option to increase security status ever again. And yes, that would make consequences for actions something to seriously consider first beforehand instead of the little hand slap consequences currently implemented in-game. ---

Why do you think I’m a griefer? It’s a PvP game. I’m just playing the game. Why do you get so upset about it? Why should I stop shooting miners? What’s in it for me? ---

The issue right now is your trolling the thread. Trolling is a form of griefing. Are you actually so mentally whacked you don’t even know what you are doing?? You do this constantly. ---

I’m not trolling the thread. Trolling is when you say things you don’t believe, in order to generate a faux argument, merely for the sake of stoking drama. In contrast, I actually believe the things I say. For example, I’m not a griefer, and you are giving bad advice to miners. That’s not trolling, that’s calling you out on being ignorant and incompetent. Most of the people in this thread have said something similar to this. For example, you discourage miners from talking to gankers, but I assure you that’s the only way they will avoid being ganked. Also, they need to pay us, we aren’t going to be nice and just go away like you want. ---

You could flag their replies as being off-topic, and have friends or alt characters do the same. That will notify ISD and possibly get their BS removed. More than likely it will probably just get the thread locked. which is what their whole meta-game is about. On second thought, probably better to file a harassment complaint with Customer Support, make sure to include links to prove your complaint. I was drawn into this thread because one of their ringleaders was posting BS lies about me. Anybody not part of their little circle jerk can easily see they’re nothing but a bunch of miserable no-life trolls. Anyway, I’m out. Good luck to you… o7 o7 ---

Heh, who you trying to fool… you’re one of the ringleaders. More importantly, don’t even try to align yourself as being in the same situation. Also I told you earlier to just sod off already.
