Minor GamerGate addendum...
Oct. 28th, 2014 09:00 am... I've gotten many nice notes thanking me for posting my rant, and telling me it needed to be said.
This saddens me beyond belief. Dozens if not HUNDREDS of other people have posted similar things, some of them FAR better written and detailed than I could ever hope to manage. This should be a DEAD subject. It should be one where everyone's already agreed that the whole thing was asinine, that the 'gaters are filth, and moved on.
The very fact that I haven't been getting "Jesus, Ryk, will everyone just DROP it already" as the major response... is the most infuriating, saddening, and tragic proof that this is a REAL problem, and one that isn't CLOSE to being dealt with by our society, and so you WILL keep hearing about it until someone finds a way to make it clear to even the most reactionary SOB that this behavior IS NOT ACCEPTABLE in a civilized society.
