> [@Mr\_Epeen](#): > > Whew. That’s a lot of defensive posting. > > Might be time to dump Gix and move on to your next forum alt. Defensive? Not really. More a plea for helping others thrive in New Eden instead of coddle them. Why would I dump Gix? He is, and is my only, main. I realize in this day and age, not having multiple accounts is rare but it is what I choose to do for many reasons. Some practical and some philosophical. I don’t need to hide behind alts. This is me. Love me, hate me, be indifferent. Either way, do something. I always say if peeps are sore about it they can track me down and talk with antimatter. So far, none have. ---

Click your avatar top right, select preferences, preferences again, click Users. Add them there. Having said that, you’re one of the worst offenders when it comes to Drama spam posting and victimhood dialed to 11. So don’t take it as if I’m agreeing with you, just explaining how to do things. ---

I asked your help. And thank you. You dont need to ■■■■ on me . I dont have ignore option . ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/a/9/1/a919c8fa10b3fca43bb963d964a85e605941cfe8.jpeg) I am pretty straight forward person, Also i have balls and ass to stand against unfair … i state the facts… if that disturbs you its about you not me . And I m not a low self esteem , low self respect person who smiling around while somone stabbing me. Most men behave that way … Because their image is everything … they sit on needle and say it is pillow… they love to look like hard ! Oooh strongg …see victims as weak , That is the reason for example male sexual abuse victims doesnt step up and talk as common, Most abuse and insult cases … they hide it… makes them best targets … Again thanks for helping “.” ---

Oooh strongg …see victims as weak , What does this have to do with anything? Also, your claim is empirically incorrect because like 97% of the game’s population is male, and about 75% (a generously low estimate) of the game’s population consists of whiny carebears who spend their time engaging in bottom-feeder PvE and crying on the forums about their ship losses to griefer sociopaths, so the math just doesn’t work in your favor, sorry. ---

My math is on real life human behaviours and statistics … He mentioned drama , and victimhood. Victim psych %100 direct related and represent yourself very often in social context. And gender difference in attitudes towards these type of cases very well researched. ---

Exactly… > [@Destiny\_Corrupted](#): > > People wear masks in real life because they have an image to maintain, while internet anonymity provides them the opportunity to lower their guard and act in a more natural manner befitting of their genuine personalities. And EVE online is large enough to be an _exceptionally_ statistically-viable sample of the population at large. And yes EvE community also fallow that behavioral patterns even more heavily … Anonimity is very important aspect here… It magnifies the effect not diminish it. There are many social psych experiments around prooven these. ---
