Fairfox: fables doesn't seem to write much on the forums any more (?). Hellooooo fables! <3

Fairfox: Yay!

And ever bacon, too. I was tryin' to think of bacon puns but I can't. Likeee... don't be rasher, come back to the forum? Holy lame-o.

lababy: searching for an online convo with a staff for a problem i have with refunds!

looking for an online staff to chat with for an issue i have about my recent refund

initialpresence: And just look at the comment that got the thread linked below locked. If you want to know who your oppressor is just find out who you can't critisize. Enough said.

initialpresence: At this stage you're not even making sense anymore. You are clearly unfit for the work you have been assigned to do. You are just another stooge pushing the left's politics.

richlind33: Ah yes, "the reason".

How incredibly convenient and arbitrary. And shamelessly dictatorial. And ironic, because your conduct is thoroughly political.

Well, thank you for sharing the nature of your politics with us, Linko, because it explains perfectly well why you detest political discussion.

Lemon_Curry: Indeed, it ought to be in GOG's interest to make all the forum rules easily known and shared.

Sachys: Looks like too little too late from my perspective. GOG already has a reputation as a right wing "free-zone" of activity (that is theyre allowed / welcomed here - thanks Gamersgate! -_____-). There are too many numpties out there fed on a diet of the weird corners of youtube, infowars and Breitbart with that in their heads for it to end unless theyre permabanned from posting here.
Consider the fact this place has been used to recruit / turn people to ultra right wing thinking, belief and groups over the last few years, and its a severe issue - one with a knock on effect thats not only relevant to GOGs PR and marketability.

Hell, who ever runs the twitter account seems to just copy paste stuff from 4chan half the time.

GOG should have taken a stand years ago. GOG did not. No offense to the new blue, but you're one sword in a battle thats been raging for a very long time.

Good luck!

*unlitarally flings poo!

**except to the white supremacists and other extremists.

***i ran out of all white dog poo

tinyE: I think you misunderstood him Linko. He said this place "has been used". He was referring to the way it was before you got here when there was virtually none of the moderation that you are providing.

His general point is that, IHO, it may be too late, and as he mentioned, you're just one sword.

Sachys: Spot on captain... uh... thingummy!
Sachys: Well, in that case, please rethink a bunch of the "memes" and other things the twitter account posts as a lot of it seems to go against what you've been doing on here of recent. A simple request.

and again, good luck!
Sachys: Agreed entirely. I only saw this whole thing because somebody with my non gog contacts linked me to it.

richlind33: If you want to extrapolate, that's fine, but do remember that it's *your* interpretation, and in this case I think it's disengenuous.

If you're going to claim that racism is predjudice + power, and then tell me that it's racist to mention who actually has most of the power, you have shown that you don't have a great deal of interest in justice per se. I'm perfectly happy to let the chips fall where they may, and work from there towards a better future for all, but I'm not seeing that from you.

Sacred cows have no place in rational discussion, so what's more important, rational discussion, or defending what is logically indefensible?

richlind33: This will be my second attempt to address your false accusations re random references to Jewish influence. You failed to respond to my first attempt via PM so this time I'll do it here.

.

I responded to someone who was making inaccurate racial generalizations re whites, correctly pointing out that whites are not the dominant power in media. This was then taken by Starmaker to be an attack on Jews, which I also responded to. There was *no* randomness at all with anything I posted re whites or Jews.

I'm concerned about what appears to be racial bias against whites on the part of GOG. I note that you said nothing about the Asian poster's racial generalizations, nor did I see you say anything at all to the poster who decided it was perfectly OK to bring up "white privilege" in a thread about a shooting tragedy. I'm very concerned about this, because it sends the message that racial generalizations are perfectly OK as long as they're directed at whites. They're only "bad" when they're directed at groups that have been granted ideological victim status.

It's similar to an incident that occurred at Evergreen State College that happened about a year ago, where a liberal Jewish professor was attacked because he chose not to participate in a "protest" that attempted to exclude whites from the college campus for a day, because he didn't think racial shaming was morally acceptable, and would have negative consequences for the college. Attendance has since dropped from over 900 to under 300, so apparently he was right.

I really hope that this can be resolved amicably, Linko, because I don't think either of us are well-served by dragging this out indefinitely.

.

BTW, Telika and Starmaker, do you think it's OK to throw Bret Weinstein under the bus for failing to show deference to the ideological orthodoxy of the extreme left? And what if it turned out that I am also Jewish, would that make any difference?

richlind33: You have failed to substantiate your accusations re "random" racial references. Please do so or retract them. If you do not, I will take the matter up with your superiors.
