RWarehall: And where is your response to mine? You never give any, then insist that people are ignoring your dozen points that are generally meaningless to the discussion. This is exactly what you have been doing for months.
Where is my response to "you are full of shit"? Here it is. I don't care what you think of me. I don't intend to detail what I think of you other than to say that I pity you and I really think you should talk to a professional about your anger issues. If you get this upset about discussions in a forum, I would hate to see how things are going for you in real life. I genuinely mean this. You should talk to someone.
RWarehall: As to Jim Sterling and Total Biscuit, what friendship? Show me where they have been going out for beers together or hanging out as friends and Tweeting about it. That is the sort of friendship Nathan Grayson, Robin Arnott, Jared Rosen etc, have had with Zoe Quinn. Its possible this is happening, so show me, I'm just not aware of this connection. In fact, I seem to recall them being fairly at odds with each other a numbers of times.
If you don't know anything about Jim Sterling and TB's friendship, don't embarrass yourself by implying one doesn't exist. They have absolute had beers together and hung out as friends. It doesn't bother me that he doesn't disclose that, I am consistent in that I don't think it is necessary for anyone to mention they went out for a beer with someone. For the record, that wasn't a comment directed at you.
To suggest that one cannot be friends with someone and also be at odds with that person a number of times is an intriguing insight to your personality, and probably explains your reaction to the people who have disagreed with you on this forum
RWarehall: You constantly make these assertions with nothing to back them up, but when we provide evidence you either make up excuses or change the topic.
I'm not sure what assertions you're talking about. Its hard to respond to such a broad comment. i explained in my previous post why the links you provided.
RWarehall: Here's the thing. Some of us are here to discuss the truth as best as it can be determined, while apparently others seem to have more ideological motives. Either that or you are more interested in "winning" the debate. Either way, discussing anything with you seems to be a fruitless endeavor.
It seems to me that it is the people who are constantly shown as being mistaken or incorrect about things complain about others winning debates.
RWarehall: Correct link:
https://archive.is/WtK25 Yeah, that's a particularly damaging article. Again, I'm more interested in the Japanese one. What's going on there?
dragonbeast: did either of them make a game the other promoted? no.
are they forcing their narrative on each other? fuck no.
Jim is strong anti gg, TB is/was neutral but has been supportive of ggs ideals
can they discuss thing with each other without calling each other rapists? yes.
Don't tell me that last part is any form of problem
I'm not sure you understand my point.
The assertion by #gg'ers (prior to them focussing on the evils of SJWs and feminists in the media) was that people should disclose any friendship whenever they report about someone.
TB has reported about Jim Sterling's conflicts with various devs who have DMCA'd him. When doing so, he didn't disclose that he was fairly close friends with Jim, that they often spoke and had regular "youtube star self help sessions" together or that they have drunk alcohol together, which RWarehall seems to suggest is a sign of a particularly close friendship (I've got a heap more friends than I realise apparently, being a borderline alcoholic myself). According to #gg'ers this is a conflict of interest that must be disclosed. In his reports TB (rightly in my view) sided with Jim Sterling and (rightly in my view) didn't feel he needed to disclose his friendship with Jim Sterling, but perhaps he was only doing this because of this perceived conflict of interest?
Again, my issue is the not that I think the friendship is an actual conflict of interest that should be disclosed, but that TB and others supporters of #gg have called for those conflicts to be disclosed by others, but TB failed to do so himself. Just an intriguing insight into his personality, but one that is often demonstrated in his interactions with others in podcasts, etc.
