Yes, we all were foolish to think that, surely, trying to sweeten the last few ED days of a very ill man would be met by everyone's empathy.
Because, what is or isn't allowed in a computer game clearly is so much more important.
And i am not even sure how sarcastic or serious i meant that.
No, there is no requirement to be a nice person in Elite, it's not forbidden either though btw.
What you fail to grasp is that it never was about Elite, it was about a man.

Who's more toxic? Those UA bombing a megaship that is subject to the same game rules as every other megaship/station/outpost.. or those screaming for bans, special treatment or even witch-hunts/doxxing? It's pretty clear to me.
Maybe if this whole thing was to honour someone with a terminal condition, Fdev should have just used one of the non-landable megaship assets and would therefore not be subject to potential player-interference.
Repped for having faith in humanity
Dunno but after hearing about the Red Room I have no hope.
The ones UA bombing the ship are the more toxic obviously.
In my experience, online "trolls" do what they do because it gives them a sense of empowerment that they don't have offline.
Oftentimes, they are themselves victims of abuse for whom trolling offers an emotional outlet. As the saying goes, misery loves company, and happy, well-adjusted people don't tend to be trolls.
What trolls ultimately seek is control over the behavior of others, and they enjoy nothing more than watching people dance to their antics like puppets on strings. The stronger the response, the greater the feeling of control.
Reactions give them relevance and constitute the payoff for their efforts. Hence the inadvisability of rewarding them with histrionics.
Which, of course, is the last thing anyone wants to hear when they're in the middle of a righteous crusade, so they tend to reject such advice and sink ever deeper into a self-feeding spiral of indignation, insularity and denial.
That, in turn, reinforces the power of trolling, and thus the symbiotic circle becomes complete.

In the end, KARMA will hopefully come into play and deal with everyone who was so blatantly on the wrong side of history regarding this unfortunate chapter in the Elite Community's history.
