you just said you're no expert and haven't even read the article and yet here you are "connecting the dots" and doing some old fashioned ass backwards conspiracy theories. What you just did has a name. It's called "victim blaming". It could be a thousand reasons why this is happening to her and not others.

Here's the problem with your line of thinking: It doesn't work.

No one is making them into monsters. They're using the word "monsters" as a quick and apt description instead of saying "people or persons who made death or bomb threats."

You realize she had enough space to type what you put in quotes, but instead took a more informational tone. I guess that was probably part of her plan all along, to not have to use the tone you're trying to apply to her statement. She must have known you'd do it for her, and then she'd get to have her cake and eat it

"Sure, bomb threats are terrible. BUT SHE WAS SMUG ON TWITTER MAYBE! DOESN'T THAT BOTHER YOU?"

No, it doesn't.

So do I.

You're aware of swatting right? You admit that you believe there are gamers out there stupid enough to do this for their own entertainment, let alone because they really feel like she is attacking them.

Thank you. :)

Squarr, you are a Hero. This kind of outrage is EXACTLY what the Internet was built for. Detractors, take SEVERAL NOTES:
1)The war cry for Squarr's entrenched position? "Fuck You, Fuck Off". It is a simple, albeit vicious Dismissive statement. Squarr has not said to anyone "I am going to fuck you, I am going to take

As long as assholes think the gates belong to them, they'll need to be reminded they're just assholes.

Because I care more about people being terrorized out of their homes than I do about pretend allegations of bad "journalistic integrity" in a hobbyist community?

You're not one of the harassers? Great. Nobody's fucking talking about you. Shut the fuck up and move on.

You're obviously upset; you should do something to calm down (that isn't violent) for your own health.

Congratulations.

I don't give a rats ass what their against. As soon as you threaten rape to a woman your a piece of shit.
