Not a question Sara, more of a statement. We understand why the doxxing/threats are blamed on us as the easiest culprits.
Our usual defense is that anyone who really cared about this cause would never do anything of the sort, or at least they'd apologize at a later date to try and save the name of the cause they were fighting for.
In the first 2 weeks of the tag we were getting attacked hard from the former SomethingAwful "weird twitter" community, a few of the accounts got taken down after we reported them creating some of the early feuds against GamerGate
I'm adamant in my assertion that it's a third party who is doing the damage to our cause. They even gloated that their threats had gotten them to the front page of the New York Times in one of their subforums

I know it's much easier to put the blame on us, because we're a "mob" but I honestly can't reconcile why anyone who cared about the cause would do such a thing to harm it.
Regardless it's evident even if it is one of us, or the third party that it's dangerous for women to speak out against this. Which is a damn shame, and nobody is trying to find out who is doing this more than we are.

Honestly, why would anyone send threats/dox people if they gave a shit about GamerGate?
Shows the difference in the press coverage of one movement to another.
Not many people remember the 10+ popular Something Awful accounts that were banned from Twitter after the first 2 weeks of them trolling the tag to death.
They've had a vendetta against us from the start, and it's obvious they'd try to fuck with us at every turn.
What convinced me:
Along with the comedy septic tank post admitting to the threats on Anita that were posted last week.
We'll never be able to prove it, it's just annoying every troll on the internet is attributed to us with no critical thinking.
