Emachine9643: Dtgreene- I'm guessing its the political correctness stuff/gamergate, am I right?
Actually, my rep actually started dropping before I first posted on the gamergate thread. (I actually only posted on the gg thread because somebody posted some misinformation about transgender related issues.)
Habanerose: Pretty much, if you change GG to SJW (a.k.a crazy feminazis and hypocrite ideological zealots).
After several arguements with said dude, it just wasn't worth it and pretty much ignore any of his posts. But guess he pissed off quite a lot of people with his derailing and overall behavior.
The user you are talking about isn't a dude, and she does not like being called one, either.
blakstar: Oh, I know it closed down, but I don't really know the reason why, and I'm not sure I want to. I prefer the friendlier parts where people still talk about games and such!
Maybe you should look at the game-specific forums for the games you like to discuss? (Assuming that the games, or at least some games in their series, are available on this site.)
