 * People with genuine ethics concerns exist within gamergate but they're tarred by their association with a harassment campaign.
 * Instead of dissociating they deny the harassment exists and claim its all made up. These sorts of denial "create an atmosphere where bad faith must be assumed
 * Its harassment based origins "inoculate journalist outlets against valid criticism"
 * this stuff about IRC folk being bastards.
 * thread bombing by IRC folks to overwhelm moderators and appear like a mass outrage.
 * "Not all gamergaters" must be remembered that there are some moderates and they're not all scum.
