Kudos to Matthew for taking a stance. It has, not surprisingly, provoked a lot of comments and feedback, most of it unpleasant.

If I did anything that was directly related to Intel, I'd join him, but I do very, very little architecture dependent stuff anymore.

I will, however, say this: Even if the "gamergate" were actually about good journalism and ethics (and it's clear it isn't), if your reaction to a differing opinion is abuse, harrassment, and other kinds of psychological violence, you're not making anything better, you're making it all worse.

Reasonable people can handle disagreement without any kind of violence.
