@Reporting...Thanks to everyone for their comments.<br /><br />@Reporting now: I don't follow Scalzi's Twitter account, no, but I'm familiar with his work. Snarky tone? Perhaps, but you're the one who uses the phrase "clueless haters" when you have no information about me.<br /><br />@Piptkin: I don't care what he was referring to, it's pretty impolite to refer to everyone who reads a site the way he did.<br /><br />@COD: yup, I realize anyone can read his Twitter account. That was part of my point: some use Twitter as though the only people reading are like-minded, even though it's out there for all to see. We all make private comments to friends that we wouldn't want to say publicly. Friends know where you're coming from and apply the right filters. ("I want to kill so-and-so" generally isn't taken literally, for example.)<br /><br />@NickPheas: I've worked hard to avoid Gamergate as much as possible. He may well have been making a Gamergate comment. My problem with it was that he didn't qualify the statement in any way. It wasn't along the lines of "Breitbart readers who support Gamergate are...," he said the entire site is for..." etc. I thought it was fair to look at the last four or five headlines and see whether no reasonable person could agree with them.Rhianon Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627163137265856251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413879796435723871.post-40650128007700000982014-12-16T09:04:09.529-08:002014-12-16T09:04:09.529-08:00Generally when John's referring to Breitbart ...Generally when John's referring to Breitbart there will be Gamergaters involved.NickPheashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650111383223877362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413879796435723871.post-2114095106493327532014-12-16T08:53:12.858-08:002014-12-16T08:53:12.858-08:00You do realize that his Twitter account is open to...You do realize that his Twitter account is open to the world, right?
