Yes to all. You can't even get them to sit still while they're on the CSM. Trebor, Seleene, and Prom were notable changes this year in terms of the alliances they were part of. Prom, previously a champion of small-gang play, joined the Goons! Mittens's mind-lasers at work, no doubt. It will be VERY interesting to see if Prom runs again, and if he does, if he still puts himself forward as a small-gang champion.

100% agreed. People who don't like the current or potential makeup of the CSM can get off their asses and do something about it, or else live with what they get. It might take a couple of terms for a high sec coalition to effectively organize, so my advice to anyone who wishes that would happen is to stop burnin' daylight and get on the stick to make it happen.

Agreed. Although I can hope for representation from across the spectrum of EVE players, it is foolish in the extreme to attempt to force it. Null sec folks (out of necessity) tend to act as a large block. Other folks are normally more independent. That this has an effect on the CSM should come as no surprise.

I will stipulate that while I understand a CSM delegate wishing to represent a specific slice of players, I cannot and will not accept that any delegate would actively seek to harm players that he does not represent at the CSM. As a body, they are there to represent all players. As individuals, they are there for their own ideas and abilities.

For me, the all-or-nothing, black-or-white, with-us-or-against-us, divisional and confrontational political posturing and bickering has no place in rational discussion.
