Are laptops becoming ubiquitous enough that gaming companies can start relying on them being available during a game? For example, it might be feasible to segregate the gaming mechanics in the laptops so that players can focus on a more immersive experience.

You've been arguing about moderation for a long time here. And you don't own this thread. Now, are you going to keep talking about _me_ or are you going to talk about harassment? Your actions are saying that you don't want to talk about harassment.

Since the discussion was about her letter, discussing her letter, as I did, wasn't hi-jacking anything. I'm quite happy to change the topic from her letter to harassment in general. I said we can treat the letter as a dead thing in the past. But, here you are again, discussing me rather than...

Are you gonna talk about me or focus on harassment?

The writer of the original letter sabotaged any attempt at a civil discussion when she chose to use the bigoted language she did. I believe we could have a civil discussion on harassment if people stopped trying to defend her actions. What she did was wrong. It was inexcusable. It was...

But, it is likely that they don't. Your argument "OMG, that guy got offended when I said he was guilty, that's _proof_ that he's guilty!" is not how things work in the real world. It is batshit crazy.

As long as people are excusing away her use of inflammatory and bigoted accusations on her ability to write persuasively, such as MechaPilot did here Then, her use of such offensive flames IS on topic, regardless of whether _you_ like it or not. Why should i believe that someone is telling the...

Or, she could learn to write persuasively _without_ using such cheap and bigoted rhetoric. I, for one, was turned off by her use of terms like "coward" and "white male terrorist." What I found persuasive were the incidents she mentioned. They raised my passion about this issue. They would...

You mean, other than to emphasize the -whiteness- of the attackers and to state that most every other male in the hobby was a coward? Then to emphasize the alleged "omnipresence" of the harassment? Throw out the ignorant and unhelpful broad brush attacks. Build alliances. Don't teach, to use...

Only a "responsible manner" is constructive. Tell me, if I were to be raped and, in response to my rape, I painted all black men as rapists, would that be responsible? would it be constructive? would it even matter to you or would you be too wrapped up in the delusion that correctly...

I have had women tell me the opposite - that talking about male victims means that female victims are being ignored. I've never heard the claim that talking about female victims means that male victims are being ignored. Throughout this entire discussion, I've said that there is room for ALL...

and..? Your point..? When a woman is unwilling to come forth to testify, it is because the judicial system is going to victimize them all over again, (the BS liberal metanarrative says). When men are unwilling to come forth to testify, its their fault they don't get justice (the same...

She harmfully misidentifies the problem as "white male terrorism." Read the title of her paper. It doesn't say "Tabletop Gaming has a Sexual Harassment Problem." It says, "Tabletop Gaming has a White Male Terrorism Problem." Misidentifying the problem, then arguing that misidentifying the...

What she's saying is in error and harmful. The fact that you think we should ignore that rather than address the actual problem (which is sexual harassment, not "white male terrorism") in a responsible manner disturbs me.

Because I thought that everyone would agree that it was important and provide compelling documentation, not an isolated incident.

You provided one isolated example. There's not much that can be learned from one data point. I do believe that sexual harassment exists against women. I think that's obvious. But, the argument was made that we shouldn't talk about male victims because of lack of documentation. I pointed out...

With all the slander going on, a person on fire will be afraid to go to people who can help put out the fire because the fire victim has heard all this slander and has come to believe that the people who can help will, instead, just dump gasoline on them. Like I said, it isn't helpful.

I don't understand the point you are making. What happened to this woman was horrendous. It should not be tolerated, EVER. And, alongside her (not "instead of", there's room for every victim on that shelf), let's put the fact that, according to a recent survey, one-third of men have reported...

Yes, the woman fit the textbook definition of missing the point. That's pretty clear. We need to address the problem, not tolerate inaccuracies and fear-mongering.

Sure, the harassment of women and minorities has to matter. The sexual harassment of males and whites needs to matter, too. Just a few weeks ago, a feminist actually asserted to me that we shouldn't have _any_ discussion of sexual harassment of men because, she asserted, it takes attention away...
