Are messages like this what you had in mind when you extended the olive branch?-Ryúlóng傂竜) 08:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC) Yes, that's precisely what I had in mind. BLP violations are not ok, and a journalist falsely accused of a position that he does not hold and did not write has a right to respond here. I would like to repeat here my point that there are plenty of good Wikipedians who will look after the article, and due to your conflict with Mr. Auerbach it would be best if you just stepped away from the whole thing.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2014 (UTC) This is frankly ridiculous. There was no conflict with Mr. Auerbach until he came onto the site and made one by failing to assume good faith in my original edit weeks ago. I retracted all of my statements about him where I characterized his message to me as a threat.I gave him a heartfelt apology and told him why I reacted the way I did because he asked me to apologize and he just goes "don't believe you" and feels that my subsequent reaction to this is evidence enough. I am disappointed by this turn of events. There is no valid reason I should step away from the article. There are dozens of editors who have come to Wikipedia for the sole reason of rewriting the article to favor their fringe movement and they remain untouchable or undeterred because they have no real dog to lose if they get banned. But just because one writer is upset with the paraphrased criticism I wrote about weeks ago that has been rewritten already and that the various editors below acknowledge wasn't entirely incorect means I have to step down? I have no agenda with this page. I have no personal conflict with Mr. Auerbach other than my disgust with how all this has panned out. This has somehow given the people who want to silence me for opposing their opinion are using it as an excuse to have me topic banned when there have been much more egregious violations of BLP that they have performed but remain untouched. But I'm at fault because Gamergate is just the latest in a line of nerd groups who have made me out to be the Wikidevil incarnate. The very fact I'm arguing this with you is probably making the Gamegate camp on reddit giddy with excitement that you might personally ban me for doing so. And Mr. Auerbach would not even know my user name if The Devil's Advocate hadn't plastered it at the top of the discussion on the talk page about Mr. Auerbach's complaint to you.-Ryūlóng (琉竜) 11:19, 16 November 2014 (UTC) I recommend that you take a couple of days off at least, to reassess. There have been a great many complaints about your behavior, of course not all justified, but enough justified that you should realize that you are making yourself a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution. Let others take it on.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 18:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC) Barely any complaints are justified. And he article remains fulhy protected for another week. All that's going on no is angry talk page and notice board discussions -Ryúlóng 琉竜 19:00, 16 November 2014 UTC If barely any complaints are justified and if nothing is going on, now seems as good a time as any for you to step away. WP:OWN takes many forms.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2014 (UTC) I'm not sure if taking a break while there's a discussion regarding topic banning me is going on will help matters in that regard Ryūlóng 琉竜 19:03 16 November 2014 UTC To the contrary, I believe that many or even most discussants would take a voluntary stepping away from the article as a wonderful gesture of good faith aimed at preserving Wikipedia's reputation for neutrality and seriousness about biographical concerns. I know that I would personally appreciate and value it.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Couldn'tve happened to a more deserving prick.

Ryulong, if you ever read this know that you brought this on yourself and no one has any sympathy for you. I don't know if it's more annoying or pathetic that your mission in life seems to be to inflict your bias on as many people as possible – most of them now uninformed due to your blatant lies – All I know is that if you end up banned from Wikipedia entirely, you'll have to find something else to devote your sad life to.

David Auerbach is a writer for Slate, Ryūlóng deliberately misquoted a different writers article to try to make Auerbach look like he was blaming "women in tech" for Gamer-Gate's "harassment".

Auerbach tried to get him to correct it, but he and the rest of the 5 horsemen just flung insults. So Auerbach went to Jimbo Wales who told them they needed to know that off (Jimbo is very sensitive to lawsuits).

The rest started backpedaling at the speed of light, but Ryūlóng thought doubling-down would work better.

The result is here.
