Quote from: Mistwell;1126607I think Pundit would do better just getting his own message out there. Which is what he's been trying to do and asking others to spread. That seems like a smart approach to me.

Wrong.  Pundit simply does not have Fox's connections and reach.  The scorch earth policy is the only way to make Fox shut up.

Pundit needs to do what I suggested during gamergate's time.  He needs to contact other people with the reach and connections.  I HIGHLY suggest Raging Golden Eagle and Rekita.  Not to mention you need to get a lawyer Pundit.  Fox wants to destroy you and won't stop till he succeeds, or you finally take him out for good in a act of self defense.

Quote from: SavageSchemer;1126610The one weakness with Pundit's approach is that he really only does videos. And he tends to ramble on at length in those. I think if he were to write a formal response, the exercise would force him to focus his thoughts into something that is concise and, hopefully, clear. I also think it'd find a wider audience as people are more likely, imo, to kill a video - especially one where the videographer is having trouble getting to the point - than they are to read something that can be consumed in a matter of a few seconds to a few minutes in written form.

I think messieurs Fox is a right cunt and is on the wrong side of this fight, but he appears to have found a far wider reach and therefore has more people who only see this from his perspective. That perspective is more likely to get repeated and spread around based on his strategy alone.

All that matters is social media soundbytes.

No one reads articles. Blogs get one-tenth the views of videos. But most people won't watch videos either. The thing that matters is social media links. People constantly retweet headlines of articles they never read.

So fucking share the video on your social media, if you're on my side!

Quote from: Zirunel;1126626Cool! I like iced coffee. I have two ways of making it but I'm open to other possibilities. Is there a written version of the recipe somewhere?

I liked the one on the OSR being cutting edge and I liked the one on I Ching.

Honestly, I just like Pundit's voice. It's soothing for some reason. Maybe it's the accent.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1126647So fucking share the video on your social media, if you're on my side!

I absolutely would if I did the social media thing. Unfortunately I make about the worst possible sort of ally - a completely useless one as I have gone to great lengths to maintain precisely zero social media presence outside this forum and two others. One of those is Reddit, which I despise (deeply) but use due to how active it is. And I'm certain you know how they are. By and large they barely rate higher than TBP. The other maintains a strict "no politics" rule.

I go further than you: I don't do Reddit either. I'm on several gaming forums, but I'm there for games, not politics. Despite Pundit's belief, I do read posts/blogs and watch videos (more the former than the latter). Stating that only the social media matters seems weird to me--what does it matter if people share headlines that nobody reads? It seems like the equivalent of passing my junk mail on to others and thinking that it will change the world.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1126116Who are those names and where can I contact them?

William Hoge can be reached at Hogewash.com.
Aaron Walker (blogged as Aaron Worthing) can be found infrequently at http://allergic2bull.blogspot.com/ and there's a link there regarding his travails with Kimberlin.

Those two, among several others, wound up in a bizarre, multi-year legal wrangle against Brett Kimberlin, a convicted domestic terrorist, forger, and adjudicated pedophile, as well as Brett's primary butt-monkey, a weird creepy fellow by the name of Bill Schmalfeldt.

IIRC, at one point KF had threads on these guys too, but it kind of bumped up from Internet Slapfight when Bretty and Bill started filing lolsuits.

It would've been funny, except for the fact that yes, they WERE filing lawsuits which had to be responded to.

I'm also tempted to suggest you drop Richard Meyer (Ya Boi Zack) a line, since he's currently suing Mark Waid for tortious interference in trade; IANAL but Fox's behavior could be construed as similar. I could be wrong about that though.

I think we've stepped past the "internet slap fight" stage since Zwei has accused Pundit of harassment.

In Zack's case, there was a specific contract that was broken and you had Mark Waid admitting that he contacted the owner of the company about the contract and make a self-congratulatory tweet after the contract was broken. And even with all that, we still don't know if Zack will win.

If Fox just says negative stuff on the internet resulting in Pundit's products being pulled from DriveThruRPG (which I'm assuming is what people are worried about as no one has specifically mentioned anything else), then all Fox has to do is point out that Pundit did the exact same thing to Judges Guild two months ago.

I neither started nor supported any petition. Nor did I call for censorship. I only talked about it after the fact.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1126448So then they tried "Pundit is anti-lgbt", which was a LIE and they all knew it was a lie, and that helped them a bit.  

Wait, you're pro-LGBT?  

Since when?  How?  

QuoteAn ally, straight ally, or heterosexual ally is a heterosexual and cisgender person who supports equal civil rights, gender equality, and LGBT social movements, and challenges homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Not everyone who meets this definition identifies as an "ally".

Quote from: deadDMwalking;1126740Wait, you're pro-LGBT?

He didn't use your idiotic, nutjob religious definition of "ally", he said he wasn't anti-LGBT.

Are you such a fucking disingenuous shitbag you can't help but lie when quoting a simple sentence?

First, one does not have to be "pro-lgbt" to not be "anti-lgbt."  This is a false dichotomy.  One could be indifferent to, ignorant of, or even unconcerned with lgbt issues, and still would not rightfully be labeled as anti-lgbt.  Folks who propose such a dichotomy are usually doing so as a form of intellectual bullying.

Secondly, one does not have to meet some arbitrary definition you post (which specifically states "ally," not "pro-lgbt") to be considered pro-lgbt or even non-anti-lgbt.  You (nor anyone else) are not the arbiter of lgbt-ism.  Unless you can provide the stone tablet that definition was written on to prove its divine authority, your definition is just another strident, intolerant, moralizing opinion.

Why would anyone want to be an "ally," anyway?  At what point does defending the sexual proclivities and practices of someone else become a moral imperative?  To quote Dennis Miller: "There is nothing in the world more interesting to me than my orgasm, and nothing in the world less interesting than yours..."

Interesting how the actually relevant, non-cultish elements of that "definition" still apply to Pundit as far as I can tell, and it's only when it comes to his submission to a presumptuous orthodoxy and it's prescribed labels and obligations that he appears to be a failure.

Quote from: deadDMwalking;1126740Wait, you're pro-LGBT?

I was supporting gay marriage since the early 90s. Decades before Hillary Clinton or Obama ever thought to. I have always supported the right of all people to do whatever they want with their own identities and bodies and receive equal consideration under the law.

Wow, people don't really pay attention.

I knew or figured out that Pundit was pro gay marriage or very okay with it back in 2007.

He's still feisty and very opinionated - but that has never meant that he is a bigot.
