    You can ignore the problem and act like it doesn't exist, but that doesn't make it stop happening.

    I don't call GG a movement against feminism, as they literally only espouse one opinion, that gaming journalism is corrupt. The side that is anti-gg I would describe as peopled with a bunch of feminists who try to make everything about them. After all, the original incident was about Zoe Quinn getting a positive review from a journalist who was sleeping with her, and what did Anti-GG focus on, but that it was mean to drag Zoe into it, even though it wasn't about her, but about the journalist being unethical.

    If someone's response to a query is to state RTFM, you should just reply that you already did, so could they point out where in TFM the answer is, because it wasn't clear at all. :)

    Put it right back on them and point out how much of an asshole they are being.

    So, since you speak out against doxing, do you support or condemn the usage of doxing by the feminist side in gamergate against those who were not engaged in anything more than voicing their opinion on the issue? Do you support them calling up people's workplaces to get them fired for supporting gamergate?

    If you don't support it, then why didn't you speak out against it? Why do you still support these people all the time on /.?

    If you do support it, isn't that kind of hypocritical to support it when it is your side performing the attacking?

    So, point to a single instance of the banned account abusing. Also, why did the rapper advocating for gang rape of Sarah Palin not get banned? She after all had numerous tweets in this tirade. Inciting for rape is illegal, and Palin has already indicated her intention of bringing a civil suit in the case.

    Companies he has owned have gone bankrupt, this is not unusual in business as some businesses succeed and some fail, but no, Trump himself has never gone bankrupt.

    Does having red hair lead to diabetes or heart disease? Does red hair somehow cause people to be at higher risk for life threatening disorders? The only thing I know of being at higher risk of as a red head is getting a sunburn.

    On an unrelated note, why is Chrome telling me it is redhead? That isn't a real word is it?

    There are too many perpetual victims on Slashdot these days.

    Totally agree. So, I guess my question is, will people be free to talk about their points of view, even if it is contrary to the groupthink? Will people be free to talk about the harm of certain positions as long as they aren't directly harassing? Or will it turn into Twitter which is censoring viewpoints contrary to Brianna Wu and other perpetual victims?

    I am wondering what will happen when/if the FBI announces charges in their case against Hillary. What she did is illegal, she failed to report classified leakage, and illegally ran her own email server (yes it was illegal at the time, the laws were changed when Obama took office). So, when the FBI announces charges against Hillary, then the Democrats go to Sanders, and likely it will be Sanders vs Trump, which would be an entertaining debate at least.

    Sanders: never worked a day in his life, expects "others" to pay for everything.
    Trump: turned $100 million into 2.5-10 billion fortune. Knows how to run a business, and has had thousands of successes (to a few failures...normal in business).

    I like to cite actual climate scientists that predicted things, it makes for entertaining responses.

    Dr. Peter Wadhams had famously claimed that Arctic Sea Ice would be completely gone this year [2015], even Gavin said it was ridiculous:

    So, when will climate scientists actually submit to peer review instead of hiding the data? If we can't rerun their models, there is no science being done. Science is about repeatability, and as long as the data is being hidden behind NDAs, there is no science being done.

    That statement doesn't indicate that the terrorist organization was such for the drug smuggling, it was likely the FARC, which does much more than drug smuggling.

    Just so you know, it is highly doubtful NK could even level Seoul, let alone all of SK.
