[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8330471, member: 6796468"] You're not being a jerk at all. You've hit the nail on the head. The article cites 37 people for evidence. They're people who have been harassed online who submitted themselves to the study on that basis. Here's how they defined Harassment in their advertisement to gather people together for the surveys: Their super broad version of Networked Harassment is when a "Lot of people in a network" engage in this behavior. So far, we've seen none of that aimed at Gygax and Company. Instead we've seen social shaming. We've seen people calling out his words, and the words of his coworkers and company, as wrong. The article isn't applicable to this situation in the -best- of cases. And in the worst of cases it's a bad faith presentation of a work meant to discuss the cruelty aimed at members of minorities as equivocated to a "Both Sides" position. [/QUOTE]
