My Fellow Ocians and Honourable Delegates from around the Micronational World,
Yesterday turned out to be a sad day for the hobby of Micronationism, when one individual, by the name of nick112147, took it upon himself to go beyond he aspects of a joke and turned into nothing more than a fully fledged cyber bully when he decided to launch a his inexcusable and personal attack on Mr. Kovac, a citizen of the Ocian Federation. Then, as if his actions were not shameful enough, he proved us all wrong, that he is the master of limbo, cause when you think he cannot sink to a lower level, he does. He then sent a “Official Annexations” list, to Ms. Panks, the Ocian Minister of the Exterior, to her office on this Forum, in essence pertaining it to be from the Empire of Cerulea.
The Ocian Federation, does hereby join with many micronationalists, in condemning nick112147 for his dishonourable, appalling behaviour and lack of common courtesy and manners in addressing not only a fellow micronationalist, but another human being. No one, despite their actions or what they have said should be subjected such vicious and wholly disrespectable behaviour as that exercised by nick112147. Not only have you shamed yourself, nick112147, you have shamed your nation and this hobby to a level, I thought never possible from a fellow Micronationalists.
Mr. nick112147, I urge you to save whatever last remaining shred of dignity and respect you have for yourself and issue a full apology to Mr. Kovac, because your actions and words were beyond the pale. You are nothing short of a disgrace to Cerulea and this hobby and if you have any sense of remorse and self-respect, you will issue the apology to Mr. Kovac without hesitation. However, if you do not have the gall to do this and you still think you can behave in such a disgraceful and inappropriate manner, then I do not wish to see such disrespectful characters such as yourself in the Federation and I will have no choice but to immediately expel you from the Ocian Federation and I call upon my fellow Micronational leaders not to allow or condone such behaviour and utter disregard of a fellow human being and to also support the Ocian call for a apology, and failing that, to also expel nick112147 from your respective nations, because his actions are a stain upon the very fabric of this hobby. I also call upon the admins of the MCS forum, to take disciplinary action on nick112147, for his outrageous behaviour on your forums.
Micronations is a hobby and should be treated as such, while a certain amount of debate and humour is tolerable, but we must draw a line as to what exactly is acceptable and what is totally unacceptable, nick112147’s behaviour has crossed this fine line and entered the totally unacceptable aspect of this hobby and as such, I never wish to see a repeat of such gross disrespect and lack of common courtesy to a fellow in this hobby. It is on this note, that I hope all micronations despite our differences and aspirations, will unite in enforcing the basic principal of respect, manners and courtesy to others, no matter who they are.
Thank you.
