It's the author of 8chan, so libel is not surprising here.
- wchar_t 5y agoBennan has since repudiated 8chan and has fought for it to be taken offline. Let's not judge him too harshly.
- EugeneOZ 5y agoNo, he didn't fight for it. He sold that site - that’s all. When he had the power to stop GamerGate imageboards - he didn't. When he could remove boards with CP - he didn't. What I wrote is far from “judging him too harshly” :) He only apologized for not removing the shooter's manifests. He didn't apologize for GamerGate, CP, racism, neo-nazism, and other terrible things. His words about the 8chan shutdown - “I was not even that upset about that” [1]. You can’t call it “fighting”.

- whimsicalism 5y agoVery convenient to do so when it is no longer lining pockets.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoI had no idea about that but his responses to the issues and his blog post are pretty polite and reasonable IMO. Though like I said I don't agree and I think the devs merging it had justified concerns.
