I try to do as much as I can. I'm a videographer by trade, so I switched from SONY to Blackmagic Design when they offered a transparent, local assembly team for designing and producing their camera parts.

The end game is simple. When I buy a part for my Beamer, or a box of Macaroni and Cheese, or a new Intel Mac, I don't want any of that money, however small that fractional amount, going to a publication site that I've taken umbrage to because of what I perceive to be reprehensible behavior.
It's called "being a…
Well I don't sell them, so prostituting my tweets are out of the question. Perhaps a "Twitter Slut" would be more appropriate.
Working on that already, man. Working on my fourth Rusty Nail this evening. Slow and steady wins the race.
You're missing the broader point I'm trying to make. When I buy a part for my BMW, I'd rather not see Gawker Media get any fraction of my money, however small. If that strikes you as extreme, I've got news for you: there are tens of thousands of people tweeting that same statement right now on Twitter!
Ah! They're passionate! How dare they ever be scrutinized?
That's the remnants of a discussion between myself, her, and Hotwheels, the physically handicapped founder of 8chan.
It's missing approximately six comments pointing out that she was harassing and calling out a person with physical disabilities. Her cronies reported most of the conversation where I point out her error…

Again, you're levying accusations against me that hold no real water. I am not the leader of gamergate. I participate in these activities as a free agent, and more often than not, my ideals line up with the movement. Sometimes they don't. Not once have I ever brought this argument into the sphere of gamergate as a…
I'll certainly cede that the windshield wipers on my browline frames had immense difficulty wiping away all the bile, literary sucker-punches, and run-on sentences in that thinkpiece. I'd say Leigh's inability to convey a message with decorum is equally at fault as my own resistance to "properly reading" her points.
The cognitive dissonance in this is staggering. I suppose I have to rest on what should be an obvious defense here: when have I ever directly endorsed Geoff Keighley or any of the harassment directed at Zoe Quinn? I've issued my social media contacts a number of times here. The material is quite literally on public…
If you're willing to cite which comments identify any "flawed logic" I'd be more than willing to unpack them.
Well, I am a "developer" in a sense, but I've never been employed at PopCap and don't own a LinkedIn account.
You're more than welcome to verify me on twitter or any other social media: @Waye_Farer on twitter. You'll find some other info there.
Did I ever imply that I was an able debater? If you'd like to discuss any…
It really has nothing to do with Zoe and who she does or doesn't jump into bed with. I got my skin in the game after the "gamers are dead, gamers are over, etc" articles. It unfairly paints a rather large consumer base. As a biracial, bisexual, I had Leigh Alexander call me a wailing, angry, white man. I took umbrage…
"No, its your delusion that you are some sort of web-soldier fighting for the rights of web denizens everywhere to - I don't even know what, exactly. I get the feeling you want "unbiased" reporting i.e. reporting that doesn't conflict with what you deem true."
You typed those words and rather strongly implied that I…
When did I ever say I specifically wanted "unbiased" reporting? I'm merely exercising my right to inform companies that I am a consumer of that I don't appreciate the reportage that's gone on in recent months.
I own a 325i. It sits in my parents garage while I work in Manhattan. I have every right to contact BMW and…
And here's another guy who doesn't proofread before he posts.
It says less about me sending an email to Mercedes pointing out bad behavior than Gawker Media lining their pockets with Mercedes ad money.
