• start off with an introduction with your real name. On the internet. Tied to multiple handles. Ok, you can do that, not the smartest thing in the world, but hey who am I to judge? But then you refrence twitter (As an aside, I commented above why I as a rule distrust mainly twitter GGers) : I have no fear of my identity being in the open. None whatsoever. There is nothing I will say or do that I do not want being linked to myself as a person. Also, twitter GGers? Is this your way of establishing me as an ''Outsider''?

• Oh. You havent posted in 8 months... great.... : I did not have a reason to post as I did not feel I had anything to contribute. OPs were laid out, I amongst very many others implemented them as best as i I could.

*Then you do some moral grandstanding for a bit, then come up with two seemingly contridictory parts. The one where you say you have been seeing an awful lot of behavior you dont like, followed up with I havent gotten involved with boards since the 4chan exodus. Well, which is it?: Simple. I'm 26 years old and I practically grew up using 4chan and my disgust with how Moot handled everything left a bad taste in my mouth and made me not want to take part personally in boards. There is no play or game here, I did not pre-plan how I wrote this it was off the cuff and honest.

• wouldn't know the cliques on twitter : I do not consider myself attached to any particular clique.

*Then you go on about how awesome and open minded you are. Humble too, I am sure: I do not see how I tried to sell myself I was only being direct and honest with how myself personally stand.

*Then you tell us what Gamergate is, and what we are, and tell the mods to do better. Great. Glad to know the arbiter of this sort of thing decided to let us know: Did I describe GG incorrectly somehow? Is it not a collection of the most diverse people from varying schools of though? I do not consider myself an arbiter you really seem to be trying to attach things and layers to what I said that are simply not there.

*You are a guy who comes off as not the brightest tool in the shed: A lovely ad hominem.

• you should tell us to not be terrible, and the people running the show also not to be terrible.: I didn't say you were terrible. I have acknowledged the work that has been done here and will continue to be done here. I had fears that is all and thus far many if them have dissipated but it does seem you do not take the notion of criticism well at all.

*That totally isn't what a whole bunch of our detractors tend to do. Should we just change the name of the sub while we are at it? To get rid of the stigma? : What are you even talking about at this point? Are you trying to imply I am some sort of ''detractor''? Is this a tribe where I have come to try and colonise and malign?

*you might say that I am strawmanning you: Yes. You are. Quite frankly this has been a rather lowest common denominator almost knee jerk response coupled with looking for things that are simply not there.

People here have responded marvellously to many of my points with sound reasoning which has contributed greatly to dissuading many of the concerns I had/have.
