He said something in public, for the entire world to see, specifically using the name of the person he'd like to see dead. If I stand on a street and say I'd like you dead, using your name, then I have made a threat against you. If this guy is too stupid to understand that the Internet is a hell of a lot bigger and…

Keep reaching, I'm sure you'll get to your 'point' eventually.

I know, right? That's like me taking out a front page ad in the London Times saying I want to kill someone, but then saying it's okay, because they live in the US, so it's not like I put it right on their doorstep.

Considering 2014 seems to be 'Year of Gaming assholes making death threats' to the extent that the FBI has had to be involved, there is no longer such a thing as an empty threat.

"But when has this happened for any other activists?"

The butthurt is strong with them.

You. I like you. C'mere. *high five*.

You're forgetting that she placed the word 'current' in front to mitigate both the importance of primary, and also highlight the lack of leadership. She's very specifically saying it's a transient population with no clearly defined hierarchy, and while 8chan is the current and primary location (as evidenced by the…

Jesus wept. SHE NEVER SAYS IT IS CENTRAL. She didn't imply shit. You've been up on your cross so long you've forgotten what transparent writing looks like. She doesn't 'supposedly' anything - you place undue importance on that breeding ground for bacteria and self-loathing.

LOL, professor. Like 'ebons' is actually college aged (or indeed will ever get there).

No, silly child. You said she claimed there was a central HQ. She said no such thing. You said she claimed it was a "centrally organized group", but as we've already established, you can't read for shit, and I guess you decided to quietly drop that claim when you actually went back and re-read the piece. Now, you're…

But Hubbard's stuff is just...so...trite. It's one thing to get weird - it's a whole other ballgame to get weird, and even better in your writing. Hubbard never did that, it always hovered in paperback-pulp territory for me.

Don't forget about the final book in the Valis triology, "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer". That one is my least favorite of the three, but it does tie up some loose ends that Valis sets in motion and Divine Invasion* jackhammers into your skull.

current/primary != central. That just means...well, current. And primary (indicating there are/could be secondary, tertiary, etc, which goes against the concept of 'central').

Godammit, please get smarter.

Why are you replying to JosephFinn, when the person he's responding to is 'ebons'?

COMPREHENSIVE READING MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU HAVE IT?

She doesn't say 8chan is the central headquarters, and she specifically points out it's a leaderless group.

You should probably learn what the phrase 'scientific methodology' means before you critique. She has a solid methodology, and prior to the shit-trolls, she has a large chunk of perfectly usable data. As a result of the shit-trolls, she also has an amazing insight for future work.

Is 'racist, misogynist death-threat-commiting assholes' a protected class now? Because if so, GUILTY AS CHARGED, MOTHERFUCKER.

You keep working on minimizing the damage of your compatriots, we all still think you're sacks of shit.

You seem butthurt.

Good.
