Totally hypothetical question, but at what level of absolutely reprehensible personal views held by a CSM candidate would CCP say "thats it, you can't run". Like, (again, hypothetically) if an honest-to-God Neo-**** were running for CSM, would CCP bar them from the election? Allowing them to run is a tacit endorsement of their views, IMHO. |

Yes that is applicable, but if someone actually adheres to an ideology that espouses the extermination or enslavement of large swathes of humanity, surely that would affect their ability to work with other people (one of the Goon candidates is Jewish, for example. see: "The Jewbal"). |

Verlai wrote:What a ridiculous question, since there's no way any company interested in engaging in international business would be stupid enough to openly associate themselves with an avowed racist. Why, they'd have to be downright incompetent if they maintained such a relationship and hoped to keep up a good public image!
I highly doubt CCP would be idiotic enough to even tacitly support such a person, since there's no way they're moronic enough to permit a CSM member with such views to publicly represent them. What an unusual and unprompted question.
Verlai I'm not sure if you're joking or not (you might be), but that is actually exactly what CCP is doing! |

It boggles the mind that someone can post a thread about an avowed Neo-Nazi running for the CSM, and the only reaction is " Weak troll thread is weak 0/10" |

That was completely different, and you know it. The Mittani was utilizing a Zen technique wherein the instructor compels the student to think deeply on the subject of death and seriously consider suicide; the appearance of the yawning void before them and the contemplation of annihilation will shake the experiencer out of any suicide ideation they may hold, and allow them to relate more healthily to life and the inevitability of death...

Exacly this ^ What a person does or does not believe doesn't matter one bit as long as they are not using their platform as a CSM to espouse or promote violence or intolerant views. Full stop, there really are no other words necessary. I would have hoped people would know this, anything else is akin to a medieval witch hunt.
Well, there's this CSM candidate video that has German white-power music playing and various white-power logos and such sprinkled throughout the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6Af6R4j0S_U |

The CSM is about the game, not ones real life political views. Allowing someone to run for CSM in no way endorses their personal real life political beliefs.
I shouldn't be surprised to see a Goon standing up for this guy; after all, they're the ones who so flagrantly mock an entire religion in their talk of certain... 'cabals' and money-making activities... |
