So what, if anything, is proposed that we do about anonymous trolls? Just malign all discussion and criticism of a subject or person? How will that enable us to eliminate the harassers out of a community? I was asking what exactly the haras

So, let's set aside from the people vehemently disagreeing with what is basically someone reading TvTropes and applying feminist theory to it without conceptualizing the terms she uses, like patriarchy. For example, is this harassment?

Care to back that statement up? Any proof, any proof at all? Randi's post does not have any proof linking #GamerGate, an amorphous hashtag to threats, or even casually proving that "GamerGate supporters" are the ones carrying

Fair enough, I was mistaken. Security is hard, but no one should get a pass playing games like this when it comes to security. A civilian could still associate another key (device) to the account if they're dedicated with the password
