[QUOTE=Banned?;45988140]This is going to sound awful so I want this to sound as least awful as possible
I'd like to know where Leigh Alexander lives just so I can find out if she actually lives in "the ghetto", because she probably doesn't. I'm going to take a random stab and say California, probably San Francisco.[/QUOTE]
you can probably find her public record if your good enough at the whole doxxing thing, however that happens.
don't post it here tho

I tried googling a little bit, got lazy then left for class.
Clearly I am not cut out for doxxing people. :v:

There was a doxxing infographic that 4chan would pass around during the reign of Kimmo Alm. It had some useful tips on how to use google to dox.
And now returning to ''Top contenders for Blunder of the Century'', apparently, Reddit mods are censoring gamergate-related questions aimed to Julian Assange, who is currently holding an AMA about preventing censorship.
I am not sure what is thicker, the irony or the shortsightedness of the mods there.
Why would Julian Assange care about Gamergate

Yeah, why would Julian Assange care about widespread corruption and censorship?

because he's not in any way tied to video games and the shit he deals with is a lot more important? he's a dude who's been living in asylum in an embassy for two years and who has never talked about video games I don't think he'll offer any valuable insight other than "yeah corruption and censorship are bad I agree"

Wikileaks deals with pretty much anything like this so ya.
doesn't matter if it's a corprate document, a little video game censorship scandal, or a entire NSA Leak.

Which is bad. And should stop being whitewashed over.
Having it happen in front of [i]the[/i] anti-corruption and censorship guy? During his own question and answer session? And having that guy take note and comment on it? Kind of hard to ignore now.

If you're banned on reddit then the post box does not show up. Besides, how does a banned person get "approved" posts? If he was banned for awhile, then why did he try posting?
This makes absolutely no sense

not trying to whitewash it just saying what do you expect when asking "[i]the[/i] anti-corruption and censorship guy" what he thinks about corruption or censorship? Julian isn't going to be informed on GG he has more important stuff he's just gonna have a cursory glance at it, be like "yup that's bad" and move on. All of you guys have a lot more meaningful shit to say on GG than Julian Assange.

yeah sounds weird just putting it out there anyone out there who isn't going to the sources doesn't get tunnel vision
it's kind of dangerous to get all your info on this stuff from a single thread of like-minded people instead of checking it out yourself
Like I said Vene, weird shit has [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq3abPnEEGE"]happened[/URL].
[editline]15th September 2014[/editline]
And you forget Julian Assange is just the face, there could be plenty of people in the background doing shit.
Oh don't get me wrong; I don't think you're personally attempting to bury anything, and agree with you that Assange is probably going to leave it at "That's bad", but even that cursory evaluation by itself could still be worth quite a bit. A lot of counterarguments to Gamergate have been that people are making up or simply imagining that shifty stuff like this has been going on. Now Julian Assange has commented on it, and 2.36 million people following the WikiLeaks twitter have been made privy to the shenanigans.
It isn't the end-all by any means, but it's now going to certainly be harder from this point to outright deny that there is a problem.

I'm too lazy for this, and I don't care that much whether Leigh lives in a ghetto or not, I just thought it would have been funny if someone said she lived somewhere else.

Reddit is shit, thats why I am here talking about it,also becauseI dont want to be labled and harrased by certain segments of that community.I started out strong on reddit but its getting harder and harder to sift through the mountain of crap looking for anything of value.
