So far, the only bad thing I have to say about the nVidia Shield is that it takes a little longer than I'd like to start up.  Otherwise, that thing is truly top-notch, and I can't wait to play with it even more.

Actually there is an incident regarding ethics in gaming journalism but I'm not sure if GG has even noticed it: http://imgur.com/gallery/anq6b
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Ever since, it seems at least, that they accepted Theodore Beale as their leader, they became worse than they were before.

Finally got my phone sorted out!  Its so fancy and cool.  I'm also really enjoying my tablet; it might take a bit longer than usual to type out a post, but it is damned handy.

Oh, believe me, it's been noticed.  And believe me, Kuchera is an asshole who's completely divorced from reality.  Even most of his ostensible allies don't like him.

Vox Douche isn't the leader of GamerGate.  There are no leaders, there is no hierarchy, there are only prominent members.

And then Tim Schafer made a sock puppet joke and Goobergate went insane.

Ironbite-and I giggle.

So you laugh at women and minorities being belittled by a white male cishet?  I thought you were progressive.

Lizard, its Ethics in Twitter Harassment Campaigns.

Rationalwiki has a very good article on it. Lets let them speak and simply quiet down about this utter irrelevance.

That article is completely untrustworthy.  It's edited and maintained in large part by Ryulong, who has financial ties to GamerGate's enemies:

He also got himself banned from Wikipedia because he was butthurt over being topic-banned from the GamerGate page.

I regard Ryulong (from personal experience, mind you) as not too bad as far Ghazi (Equally annoying as /r/KIA, to the point where I wonder if I'm looking at Buzzfeed) goes. Sure, he may be a annoying little pedant of a nerd whose only redeeming factor is the amusement gained from his ALL CAPS chimp-outs but he's my annoying little nerd.

What does my head in about this crackers is this thing people have started doing, where they allege a source is biased and so completly disregard it. No attempt is made to sift through the document and point out the inaccuracies, it rather is a wholesale dismissal of all it says. I've even seen this lately with things that are accepted as being accurate. For instance a recent brouhaha we've had over our Human Rights Commission. It's one thing to be a little sceptical about what the hebrews might say about the Philistines, the Christians about Hypatia, the ancient greeks about the persians etc but it is another thing to completly filter out anything that might impinge on your world view by an arbitrary allegation of bias.
