@OzymandiasAV @russpitts @gregariousgecko It's very arrogant to assume everyone's experience is the same as yours. I spoke out against GG right back when it started and got maybe 2, 3 angry replies and a whole lot of people wanting to talk about it civilly.

Then I made a tweet that said websites insulting their audience didn't help anyone and was counter-productive and I'm suddenly flooded with a buttload of 'Shitlord' , 'misogynist', 'scumbag', 'kill yourself' etc abusive Tweets from people supposedly on the 'good' (or anti-GG) side - the side I considered myself to be a part of.

So this is why I disengaged. Trying to discuss it rationally with EITHER side without filling every requirement and dogmatic opinion people expect of you results in abuse, bullying and harassment - which in my case was far worse from the anti-GG side even though I have nothing to do with GG and don't support it. And I ain't got time to take shit from bullies on the internet, life's too short to bother with that nonsense. I'm not the only one either. So think before you point fingers at people on fences.
