>But I seriously doubt the anti-GG people sent death threats. No true scotsman

• MBCook 11y ago
  I said I seriously doubt. No true Scotsman would be if someone clearly anti-GG was proven to send a death threat and I redefined them to not be anti-GG for some reason. We haven't reached that point yet in my argument. I'd have to be proven wrong first. Since the reason I'm anti-GG is the harassment and threats (don't agree with their ideas but I think they'd be ignorable without the problematic behavior), I wouldn't want to see someone on my side do the same. But they could.

    The unfortunate truth is that Gamergate has been harassed, you just likely haven't heard it. For example, there were bomb threats at several of their meetups, and a panel they had at a Society of Professional Journalism conference had to be evacuated because of several bomb threats.

      Hmm. Now that you mention I may have heard about the SPJ one. I won't make any further comment about those threats. I have no info about them, all my thoughts on the possibility are heavy on bias (could be right, but clearly bias).
