As is Glenn Greenwald. Regarding the second set of "independent researchers", a group by the name of PropOrNot:

And as for the first source, The Foreign Policy Research Institute's motto is:

Ahhh yes, that bastion of journalistic integrity from Gawker is definitely the one we need to point out the consequences of inaccurate reporting on the internet.

I'm curious to know, how can one possibly like an interview where the subject dodges every inconvenient questions asked? It was calculated PR and victim narrative just as everything Wu does is, and if you want to get behind that as being "a good interview" then I have no reservations in calling bullshit on it. The likes of amimojo and yourself seem desperate to normalize such content on slashdot, whereas the majority of the audience sees it for the progressive wank-fest that it is.

The remainder of your post merely serves to indicate how hypocritical an deluded you've become. Accuse other people of ad-homs when you yourself have only slung insults from the start and never explained your position. Ahh right, I forget the sort of mental gymnastics that are possible when you've decided ahead of time that you're on the good side fighting the good fight. No need for objective appraisal of people / events, just keep pounding away with labels and ideology.

As charming is the faux concern is ("IT WILL LEAD YOU THE DARK SIDE" lololol), if you're really out to change people's minds then you'd be well advised to explain yourself instead of acting like some crazed Baptist preacher at the pulpit.

I gave a factually accurate statement about why Wu isn't an interesting interviewee for slashdot or any other tech focused site. Despite the gnashing of teeth and the fact that you seem to view yourself as her personal bulldog, you didn't provide any refutation to what I said. Nor can you.

The bolded text says it all about who's being rational and who's an extremist with an axe to grind.

Nah. It really is OK to point out the rather large difference between interviewing Stallman and Brianna Wu on a site that's ostensibly "news for nerds". It's left as an exercise for you to determine which of these individuals should have something of interest to say on the collection of topics that fall under that banner.

Now serviscope, I can't help but notice you running around this thread lashing out at all the "nutjobs" who express dissatisfaction with the barrage of social justice fodder that's appeared on this site recently, and it isn't the first time you've done so. As I recall, you've shown yourself to be willfully ignorant of facts but heavy on finger-pointing and ideology. Who is the nutjob with an obsession here?

I like you how casually put interviewing Stallman and Brianna Wu on the same footing. Really now Amimojo, maintaining the delusion that a failed mobile game developer who has taken up a new career as professional victim has done anything worthwhile in the tech community just to perpetuate her unearned e-celebrity status isn't going to lead to a good outcome for anyone. Aside from the extra cash in Wu's Patreon account, that is, which is I recall was brazenly linked to directly in the summary.

And you can of course consult RPS for the first of Grayson's PR pieces as it is still up:

I see you're willfully misinformed about the TFYC incident also.

The response you're looking for concerning the positive PR Quinn received from Grayson has already been posted:

But you already knew that, didn't you AntiMojo. By all means please continue to troll your own thread ...

to the point that it includes anything various special snowflake SJW cliques don't like to hear. Even pointing out the absurdity of their arguments without slinging any insults is viewed as oppressive. EFF jumping on the "internet needs to be civilized" boat suggests they've jumped the shark instead.
