Ironic considering you can use an magnet on them to scramble a RFID chip.

Ah I see, thank you for the explanation. I see your point more fully. My second paragraph now doesn't make sense because I had misinterpreted what you meant.

I can't disagree about the absolutes, but he has the defenders dead to rights if he was referring to when this firestorm first started (announcement video, first video etc). It was absolutely true. It was an Us versus Them Shitfest for both sides. If you were an a middle ground person trying to debate, you received…

That is true, my point is: Being a gamer - nothing negative with that. in fact, it invokes nothing but that you like a hobby - that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. There are rabid fanboys in every industry. We seem to be the worse because we expose ourselves the most to this particular industry.

Really? try starting an Star Wars versus Star Trek. Watch the deathmatch ensue. Though frankly, the same rabid people you talk about are fans of one of those.

Since gaming has become super mainstream is probably the turning point of when gaming started dying in my opinion. I especially started to hate gaming when the frat boy demographic got involved. Sounds hipster I know.

What happens if the book was written in a time period that is historically accurate for there to be blatant racism? Doesn't excuse it, but it makes far more sense for there to be racism in the novel if the time period is correct. This novel is to point out just how bad racism was during this time period, and an…

So... what are your thoughts on Satire? Seems like you're intentionally ignoring factors that will influence the actual work and reflect upon it. Which means you don't have the full picture because you are ignoring factors that influence it. Much like those speed artists who paint upside down and flip the painting…

The YogsCast didn't get abuse because they were transparent about exactly where the money went and what transpired. Poor example.

There is no immediate jumping in. This issue he is talking about has been bought up time and time again about people getting caught in the crossfire. Especially in the beginning. This is nothing new. The fact that you dismissed his comment and said he was complaining is just another example that only reinforces his…

Again: Entirely up to you if you want to believe some internet nobody wants to murder you because they learned how to google. Not my problem if you want to waste time on them or live in fear of something unlikely to happen. Also: California state law doesn't apply past state lines. That would be federal law you want…

And people claim they are special forces, mercs, doctors, and other specialists on the internet all the time. This is a joke picture which is pretty true on the absurd things people claim. I am none of those occupations.

Right... Sorry, no. I don't think it's credible because there is two monitors between you and that…

Well, at you'll have a good soundtrack playing in the background.

or finding where you parked your car.

Yes it happens unfortunately. My advice does not apply to countering swatting, I never said it did. It applies to to dealing with hate email - there is an significant difference between the two.

No where in your statement driven by emotions (hence the lack of any sense of proper formatting for easy reading) did you even state where I said such a thing. Once you point out where I said such actions were fine, please let me know.

Not using the tools at your disposal to manage the problem like filtering your…

Riddle me this: Do I have hundreds of psychos or just a bunch of trolls? What is the most likely scenario? What's the definition of occam's razor? Does it mean I take precautions? Sure. But I wouldn't think it's an credible threat on my life nor would take it too seriously. I would not be in fear of my life, even…

true, though I will say I don't think Lucas is sloppy, he just changes his mind too frequently.

Sorry, but yes, ignoring the trolls does work. It's an effective tactic for anyone who is human. People hate being ignored. It's basic sociology factor that humans are social creatures. We cannot survive by ourselves. The point is that they want to get a REACTION out of you. That's the whole point of trolling. You…
