You're talking about me again, aren't you?

If he was he wouldn't have needed to put "gun" into the sentence.

Well, yeah, there's that.

Gamergate has another target: Depression Quest developer Zoe Quinn. They claim she uses corruption in video game journalism to get her game across, which has been shown to be false.

Umm, she was the original target, and it was never shown to be false, just denied by the parties involved.

Someone on another site linked to an article that tried to claim that Sarkeesian faked her own death threats, Loose-Change style. One of the main "arguments" was that, while logged out, somebody on Twitter screencapped a series of threats against her, and that it must have been her screencapping her own posts because the last one was only 12 seconds ago (though it was just the last of many). And apparently another gamer is arguing that another blogger faked her own threats because she posts on Twitter using periods at the end of her sentence and so did the person threatening her. Some of these apologetics are just ridiculous.

Oh, I don't doubt some of the straining required (though I've seen one incident where it was claimed the victim and perp used the same insults on a regular basis; whether or not it's legit I have no idea). For the record, I don't think the death threats are faked (and this isn't Sarkeesian's first death threat received either). However, I'm curious if there's any evidence found that shows these are done by actual GamerGate advocates, and not just some sickos who get their engine running by sending death threats and watching the ensuing fireworks.

But you can bring a gun to the event and shoot people up even if there's a ban. In fact that's what happened with every school shooting in recent memory since carrying guns to school is generally illegal.

Yup. Making it illegal to bring a gun somewhere doesn't seem to have dissuaded those who have shot a bunch of people.

More difficult to get them past the requested metal detectors, however.

Being it's Utah they could probably dig a couple up once they're inside so long as they don't screen for seer stones.

For the purposes of this thread, if you can recognize there's such a thing as a gun crazy, you're not a gun crazy.

Freaking amazing how many folks posting here can't pass that bar.

You'd think the whole site up and moved to Utah.

Some of these people are well intentioned but others are members of 4chan and are just in it for the lols.

Well there is a lot of Mormon love on this site.

Nobody has said anything in this thread about "gun crazies" not existing, so your bar doesn't work. Who are you characterizing as "gun crazies?"

The bar's about recognizing their existence. You've missed it once already.

Okay, twice.

No, I've only asked you what you meant by it. I can't deny the existence of something if I don't know what it is. Your refusal to define a term you're using to dismiss people who disagree with you is frustrating.

Edit: So I guess if simply asking for clarification, repeatedly, makes me a "gun crazy," then cool. I'm a gun crazy.

It's a relative term, Jesse. I would think a gun crazy was somebody who had a whole house full of them, including piles of high capacity magazines, and did a lot of unsafe shooting.

Some liberals would think I'm a gun crazy because I own less than a dozen hand guns and am a certified range safety officer.

It's quite possible that YOU would think that was a "gun crazy", so, it's a fair question.

He thrives on that.

Sometimes one person really is in the right.

Just not this time.
