And some say, as he soared into the sun set, that he yelled "IT'S
MY LIFE"
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever.

...Well, he probably will, come to think of it, because he's now a phoenix.

Ah, Dox. The last resort of assholes who wish to prove that they're just as bad as their opposition.

This is 2014, people...

So where's the skepticism towards these people receiving threats?

After all, they can just as easily be faking all of this shit.  Even/especially the syringe.

Somebody started trusting random people on Twitter? After all, the evidence may be there for you to see but it doesn't exist unless you acknowledge it!

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs</a>

Oh wow, it's almost like you missed the point that I was criticizing the arbitrary skepticism of other people.

Or, to be more blunt, you're hypocrites.  You're perfectly willing to be arbitrary skeptical of everything people you don't like say, but when people you DO like say the same damn things, you accept it without question.

Notice how I never once said that I didn't believe they were receiving death threats, because people are fuckwits and send death threats.

I just don't doubt that people on the opposite site aren't getting death threats, too, because people are fuckwits and send death threats.

Also, stating this again.

You guys started TWO damn threads about this damn thing, you should at least KEEP THE DAMN DRAMA TO THOSE THREADS!

You guys seem to be doing everything in your power to make me hate GamerGate.

I for one would like to see this drama turn into a full-fledged Flame & Burn battle royale. Keep up the good work, Witchyjoshy.

Frell you, 'chew, you gleefully stir the pot just as much.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

So a games journalist is revealed to have previously abused his powers as a reddit mod for personal profit. He was also shown to have vigorously praised Adolf Hitler.

His response? Blame gamers for making him a Nazi:

I'll second the call to keep this issue to the designated threads. As shown here, inserting the issue into unrelated discussions earns us no friends.

Eh. Someone saying stupid shit as a teenager on the internet is hardly news. I know I've said some really dumb things in my day (though not going so far as to praise Hitler, thankfully).

The reddit stuff is more interesting.

I have to agree with Josh here.  After all, he's not anti-GamerGate, and you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.  This isn't a "with us or against us" situation.
