What started gamergate was an ex-boyfriend with the maturity level of a 12-year-old who couldn't deal with the fact he'd picked the wrong woman to have a committed relationship with, and who thereupon decided he needed to whine to the whole world about it in mind-numbing detail, seeking to ruin her name in public and naming every other name he possibly could. Including names of other lovers who'd not done him any wrong and maybe didn't even know he existed. That fact he claimed that he was doing it to "protect others" just served to add a veneer of disingenuity (if he didn't really believe his own claim to this effect) or attention-seeking (if he did).

Sexual matters between consenting adults are and should remain private. Adults do not air such matters in public.

I tend to think if it'd been the other way round, and she'd named a slew of his other and/or former lovers, she'd have been dismissed as a jilted ex-girlfriend who couldn't keep such matters private as they should have been kept, and that would have been the end of it.

I've played the game. As games go, it's not that great, in part because (SPOILER ALERT) it appears to be set up so that you can't win.

OTOH, it's a pretty realistic depiction of what it sometimes can be like to live with depression.

Jesse Helms is dead. Time to move on.

And my grandmother used to say that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Bullshit. These guys need to read Black Like Me . And then try it out for themselves.

Actually, your way doesn't sound too bad. Might have to give it a try. Can't quite come at gizzards or hearts, though.

Case in point: s/This why/This is why/

Former news reporter here.

This why news outlets sometimes issue updates, corrections, or even retractions--because it's not a perfect world, and the folks who work in the news media are no more omniscient than you are.

No way, José. Dipped in batter and deep-fried is the only way to go.

There was a book about this. It was called Protector.

You're obviously not a marketer. Bully for you. :)

It doesn't even need to be an exclusive copyright. This worked out pretty well for MySQL. They made sure to get at least shared copyright for all contributed code so they could release and licence commercial versions.

It's an attempt to replace traditional carpooling/ridesharing with something Uber can skim off of. Inserting themselves as a middleman where none is needed.

I think causing harm to others who are doing you none is a definite sign of mental illness.

All religion is false religion. Doesn't alter what I said, though.
