Dacron, don't jump on the Hitler bandwagon, it makes you seem ignorant and I know you not. And if you had bothered to look at the article, it had groups of sentences that made things called paragraphs. neat how that works huh.

Man, it took a whole 23 posts for someone to mention Hitler.
To be fair when dealing with censorship and fanaticism it kind of goes together.
And when you consider Hitler was responsible for a World War and millions of deaths it all makes sense. not

Come on, show of hands... who is actually surprised that CJ got banned from a forum because of the way he talks to people.

How is "white knight" an insult? All I posted was something like "good to see the white knights have arrived to save the day" or something harmless like that and *whammo* temp ban from the forums for 48 hours or whatever it was.

They are accusing a customer of corporate espionage? For talking to another (former) customer? On twitter?
I don't give a crap what they talked about, or how much they hate some of their customers, that's not the definition of corporate espionage.
I think some backing levels allow you to take part in the actual game design. I don't know if this guy was a part of that, but it sounds like he revealed some info that was supposed to be confidential. The TOS for that backing level may have some kind of "non compete" clause that prevents them from sharing said information. I have no idea if this is the case, but that's possibly where "corporate espionage" came from.

I'm sure he was posting completely reasonable and researched things and not just piling on the trollwagon and blaming CIG for spending the money on hookers and blow. God knows those threads here are always so rational and mild-mannered.
Unless we can see what he actually posted and was banned for... I don't believe a word of this crap. He probably deserved to be banned... and they still let him play the game. He just can't be part of a community he didn't want to be a part of anyway.
Let me guess, you're active on the SC forums and don't want to be banned...
The off-site "espionage" stuff is nonsense but people who get banned tend to complain about it being unfair and I really don't buy it. Particularly given how much nonsense Star Citizen gets slung its way, and I say that as someone who thinks SC is a train-wreak and who wouldn't put his money anywhere near it.
I can easily believe that their moderators are overly partisan given how passionate some people get about Star Citizen but it's a commercial operation and if you walk into a shop and endlessly complain loudly (or insult other customers, CJ) you should probably expect security to ask you to leave even if you're a customer.

"Started to associate with The Something Awful Forums including such antagonists as Derek Smart". Hahaha what the fuck ever. I guess she doesn't remember who came up with the Desktop Commander bit.
It sounds more like these guys just can't handle criticism, there are a bunch of Star Citizen backers on SA and like here there are a bunch of people critical of the project too. What a dumb comment. "Disparage the Star Citizen" yeah how dare anyone disparage the almighty Star Citizen
