If I may ask a follow-up, re:Evergreen State College. Do you view Professor Bret Weinstein’s decision to stay on campus as harassment? If you’re unfamiliar with the story, I can provide what I feel are some useful clips on it.

I ask this because I am trying to understand where you draw the line. The more I am learning

Can’t edit initial post, but I did just see this Sargon character posted a petition to get Anita banned from a cyber harassment panel. That, to me, is hilarious. Whether or not you agree with her, panels should have a diversity of views. I don’t agree with Anita, but her view on the large issues facing online

So I have read over this thread. I don’t disagree on the definition of harassment broadly. Where I disagree is that this warrants special protection at public events being described by many commentators. If a person has made specified threats or doxxing, a restraining order would be warranted, absolutely. But my

Where I disagree that this is apropos is that someone responded to my posts with directed insults. Asking them why they feel that is warranted seems only reasonable as a flow of the conversation.

Criticizing the actions of Anita in this one instance doesn’t some how make me a supporter of a wannabe intellectual who, best as I can tell, rose to prominence as a 9/11 truther. I criticize the Democrats and the rise of the far left, that doesn’t mean I’m suddenly seeing reasonable Republicans. That doesn’t mean I

Spewing bile of idiocy?

Specifically what have I done to warrant this type of directed attack? Trying to present a nuanced opinion over how this did more damage to Anita’s reputation was done to these attendees? Asking you to present information defending your argument isn’t spewing idiocy.

But you have demonstrated you

Again, because I’m just largely unfamiliar with Sargon of Akkad, do you have an example of specific doxxing and death threats he has made? This is just to help me educate myself on this issue.

What you just posted was such a straw man of what I said that it just started skipping down a yellow road with a lion and a tin man singing show tunes about how it just wants a brain.

The second someone says “their very presence was harassment.”, I get incredibly uncomfortable.

If they have harassed her (again, I believe you they have, I’m just not personally familiar), then they are shit people. If they start disrupting the proceedings, they should be thrown out. But saying someone’s very presence

“He hit me first” didn’t work when I was 4. Again, Sargon of Akkad is not someone I particularly follow, but what I’ve seen leads me to believe I could never get along with the guy. But Anita has made a career on claiming the moral high ground. By making the event about Sargon of Akkad, she did herself and her

I guess for full disclosure, I should note that I do not personally like Anita Sarkesian’s rather naive praise of censorship, and have never been a fan of hers. At the same time, I don’t pretend to even try to understand the whole Gamergate crap. It’s like 12 completely different ideas under the same umbrella term. So

In fairness, while I have no love for Sargon of Akkad, interrupting a panel to single out one member of the crowd, calling him “human garbage”in what I can only imagine was an attempt to get the crowd to turn on him doesn’t let you claim the moral high ground on harassment. Anita came off as the harasser to an outside

Do you have the lyrics of the genitals version? I’m curious and maybe looking to fuck with my neighbors kareoke party.

Maybe it’s just the voice of the presenter being incredibly smooth and calm, but that presentation damn near put me to sleep.

Exactly as high as they needed to be, because this looks awesome.

Does it come with the cat?

I just thought it was a Mimikyu cosplay

Uh...so what are these supposed to look like clothed?
