Excuse me I'm not 'deluded'. You're going to have to cite that 350 years claim, considering it was big news recently that they changed the definition in a few dictionaries to accomodate.

The spelling differences were always just quante. It's things like forcing 'literally' not mean 'figuratively' I have a problem with.

"Why are there so few women in the industry? Does this really matter, and if so, why? What can we do about it? Is the industry sexist?"

It could've been 2 though, and then they changed the name of the finale reducing the whimsy further. Poor Bilbo never stood a chance.

The original was all over the place. Had some great moments, Tim Curry was awesome, but overall it was a bit crap, honestly.

There's so much off about this, just from the trailer, that I wonder why the feathers thing is the biggest point of contention for io9.

Weird to see vitamin C so low citing 'colds'. Aren't there higher concerns for making sure you have enough of it?

In regards to the lightsaber, It looks very deliberately designed, and I think it's just been tweaked to be more powerful than an ordinary one (totally Sith), and we are seeing the extra energy venting off.

There's no reason to think it couldn't be an Astro in an appropriately shaped cubby

I'm inclined to believe either a) its the energy field connection type or b) we were just witnessing a moment of slapstick and that's an actual disembodied droid head.

that looks...made of lego.

This is the story you go with instead of the harassment of the woman who made the shirt, huh? Nice spin.

Ok, gonna try and debunk point by point not because I want to prove you wrong, but cos I'm a big Star Wars nerd and even though I disliked the prequels I managed to logic my way through most of the ridiculous decisions:

No one in GG wants her to have anything to do with GG. Simply put, GG was expecting at least a tweet along the lines of 'got the details of the guy harassing me, contacting FBI' on her feed, so we know he's being dealt with. Not at gamergate, or even mentioning gamergate. That's not that out of the question is it,…

Misrepresentation by Jason. Ggers are frustrated with Anita, not for acknowledging their efforts, but for not acknowledging she is taking it further to the authorities. GGers tried calling police/FBI themselves, but they were told Anita had to do it herself as the one being targeted, they basically handed her all the…

I'm almost certain the reason the word is winning is exactly because of people who use the word and don't know what it means, or think its something you can wear as a shield while you engage in liberal bullying, or take it away from someone because they don't fit with what their definition of said label means.

Its not, its some sort of precursor to Peadobear, as far as I'm concerned. That voice.....*shudders*.

*ahem*:

Well, the problem I have with that is that's a purely US perspective. I'm British, and I only have that perspective (save my hopefully skewed Disney World visit). Global policy wouldn't work. Example: I live in a very small market town, and the small businesses here are in often very old listed buildings, or just…

Actually, the phrase "in general" acts in that sentence as a qualifier, implying to the reader that in certain cases shaming is not bad.
