Ladies and Trolls, please respect the CPM members. Without them, there is almost no direct connection with CCP. They are here to help us and to present ideas and feedback to CCP for us so far as I know. You have problems with the CPM? Report it, but don't bash them in the forum. Accusing them of lack of information or having some kind of advantage in the game will not get you points. They are people like us. How would you feel if you were selected as a CPM in the council and people find flaws in you and bashed you terribly? Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

I'm just waiting for my respec

whoa. You didn't get your yet?

Respect is earned, not given.

Lame excuse for being an ass.

It doesn't take that much work to offer constructive criticism instead of being a hater.

No

If you got email confirmation that you submitted your ticket, I would email them again.

Haven't I seen you on troll patrol?

Welcome to the human condition. In this case, the online disinhibition effect. (Available in video format too)

Certainly, I'm not suggesting everyone must always be nice to each other. Some people lack the judgment to understand that there are boundaries -- and why boundaries might shift based on the situation.

No way in hell I'm even going to try to explain that though.

Nooooo paywall.

Need more open research.

In other words you felt the need to white knight even though you don't even meet your own criteria.

I didn't create the thread... just suggested there are better ways to criticize. Perhaps you should direct your statement at someone who actually pulled a "white knight" around here.

Your statement about respect being earned is just an excuse to treat someone like crap. If someone doesn't earn respect you don't have to give it (duh)... but that doesn't force you to be an ignorant hater, does it?

Seriously, did I miss the memo, is this kindergarten?

Oh, right, I forgot, most of you don't get out of mommy's basement do you? My bad.

Please locate my posts where I've been an "ignorant hater". You jumped in the thread, put your foot in your mouth and now want to take the high road. It doesn't work that way.

In case you haven't noticed, it's only a few members of the CPM that are being "disrespected". Maybe you should ask yourself why that is.

I refuse to respect anyone that hasn't earned it. That being said, some members of the CPM have both earned my respect AND are doing their jobs as CPMs. Other, nameless members of the CPM have not earned my respect and are not speaking for the community. One is even, dare I say, representing the interests of their own Corp/Alliance and not the collective interests of the community. That CPM will never get my respect and when CPM elections finally do start to take place, I will spend ever drop of spare time to lobby against that person being voted in, should they elect to run.

I'm not trying to take the high road at all... and obviously I'm speaking generally.

And, I'm sure you noticed, this issue came about due to a thread attacking a particular CPM. While I had not been impressed by that member as a representative I sure as hell think a proper way to voice your opinion would be to cast a vote for someone else when the chance arrives.

I've been reading his post history as of late. Just a bunch of one liners and smug remarks that have little to no relevance on a given topic's context. Nothing but a troll trying to play internet tough guy disregard.

Bah, I'm disappointed, the search tool shows quoted text and makes is look like mine... I'll only stand behind my own tripe.

Tripe, that's exactly what it is. Save the barbed quips for 4 Chan and let the adults talk.

Who's the internet tough guy now?

God forbid I sink to your level, but until you decide to start adding some input on a given topic's context, the shoe fits.

Talks about treating others with respect

Yes, I'm here trying to defend the idea that someone who is no longer truly anonymous shouldn't be subjected to the same attacks that are applied to anonymous people. If you can't see that as input -- perhaps because you disagree with my opinion -- then you are myopic. Either way, my argument is precisely aligned with the topic of the thread.

Perhaps you should dig a little deeper in your sad little search investigation?

Talks about treating others with respect

Feel free to pick on me... I'm anonymous... I don't mind.

And? Apparently you're perfectly fine with calling your peers losers, why not the CPM members? Are they not your peers? Treating them better than you treat others just because they're in a position of power just makes you look like an ass kisser, nothing else.

That's hardly kissing ass. Oh, wait, that was an insult. Oh boo hoo -- I'm going to cry on the forums for a week now.

I'd give you a tissue, but my mother failed to restock my supply this week

Geeze, I got so sidetracked by trolls that I got off topic:

Honestly, that did get a laugh out of me. People need to stop white knighting a bit and lighten up.

But that thread should be in the locker room instead of GD.

Wow! White Knighting is an AWESOME term, though that picture is humorous. I'm no saint, but I believe in standing up for others the best I can.



As all the trollings should be too, which is why this thread was brought up in the general discussion.

[quote=Cosgar's Alt]I hope you don't get the idea that I disagree with you either. Joking around on at someone's expense over the internet is perfectly fine as long as the butt of that joke has skin thick enough to handle it. I haven't seen Jenza voice her discontent to our ribbings quite yet, so I assume it's fair play. We all may have our issues with CPM members, but without them this game would be in worse shape than it is now.

Oh and on the topic of white knighting, I hope you're not just doing this to get into those hemp pants.

Victims that are defensive verbally because of a past circumstance will get attacked even more.

...pile of crap...
