mel, you might appreciate this tweet. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:25

  - and for anyone wanting a summary, yesterday, I read the article linked here, from another rec. - b. Oct 14, 15:45 8
    - b. i'm going to add my .02 cents here, but there's more to GamerGate that these articles aren't even mentioning, which is really, part of the problem. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:23 4
      - probably linked from here, I read a really different account of what happened with the FYC and quinn - including 4chan's involvement with the former - b. Oct 14, 16:40
      - The article b. linked clearly and definitely says that the stuff you cover in your IM is penny ante bullshit compared to the real corruption in gaming -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 16:28 2
        
        And what do you see as the real corruption in gaming? -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:35
        
        Ah, missed the Kluwe recommended article she linked. My apologies. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:34
    - don't attempt to unravel their logic. that way lies madness....nm - x Oct 14, 15:50 2
      - I can see that, but that particular thing keeps standing out to me. like maybe it's all a smokescreen. - b. Oct 14, 16:03
      - Yep. And yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 14, 15:52
- Note: GamerGate was not mentioned once in the article. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 15:35 8
  - I should have said Gamergate-ish loon -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:37
  - it's in the article. -- nm - b. Oct 14, 15:36 6
    - whoops. it's there right above the image at the bottom of it. -- nm - b. Oct 14, 15:37 5
      - Clarification, there's nothing in the article tying this threat to GamerGate, other than the artcile saying "....have been reported to be a part of... - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 15:47 4
        
        Oh, we'll then. As long as it's not GamerGate, that's okay then. - znufrii Oct 14, 16:09 1
        
        That's not what I said at all. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:26

    - in general, the triple aaa culture is little but a cesspool....nm - x Oct 14, 15:37
- (to be clear: the threat itself is highly excessive. Calling it a terrorist threat seems accurate.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:23 2
  - True. Shoot up something more sensible at least, like a GameStop. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 15:26 1

- It is unlikely that it would be enforceable. Courts don't like non-competes. - pmb Oct 14, 15:14 3
  - Doesn't need to be enforceable to have an effect. - znufrii Oct 14, 15:43 2
    - That was pretty much the point of my IM, but if the worker takes the dare I would be shocked if JJ actually tried to enforce it. It's basically there - pmb Oct 14, 15:56 1
      - Exactly -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 16:07

  - i don't think they can 'suspend your passport' - but if they look at it and you are in their country, illegally, they can ask you to leave. -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 14:25 16

        I figure when you're at the check in desk, they'll pull up your profile and it could flash "overstayed!" or something. - Hotkiss Oct 14, 14:28 11
