You ever watched Nolans "The Dark Knight"? This guy's practically the Joker. He's just out for your (as in: all peoples) attention in order to establish forcefully an emotional link. That's what he's feeding on.
He shoots your ship down and you get to respond to him (in any way), he gets happy, because he made your emotions come up.
You shoot him down as revenge, he's happy, because he made you divert your attention and time on him. He's important then.
It's practically a Mortons Fork: You can only decide between two ruinous options.
And it works. He already got the most out of his dickish behaviour by having become the most notorious player of the whole community.
Seriously, the only reasonable reaction is to ignore that guy and his cronies and suffer their folly without response whatsoever.
And to hope for Star Citizen to pop up as soon as possible.
Once that thing is up and running A LOT of this militant PVP-Gankers will drift to the shiny new playground, like locusts to a ripe corn field, in order to fuck up the newbs' experiences there, thus dropping this "lame carebear"-'verse we are playing in - which these "misunderstood" content creator people had wanted to "enrich for us" - in an instant.
I never thought of it this way, well then my idea of getting his information and finding a way to ban him from accessing our forums is out the question lmao
