Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 4h I wrote this piece, which has since been tweeted by @Glinner, carefully so that it didn't side with anything: twitter.com/Glinner/status.. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Not out of naive commitment to objectivity but from a sense that people can make up their own minds Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -4h The joke, in my opinion, was clearly not worth getting outraged about. But the outrage was notable, not least because it trended here Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Now @glinner and more tweeted as if I'm a GamerGater, or sympathetic. Would genuinely appreciate anyone's thoughts on if it looked that way Graham Linehan @Glinner 3h @_andrew_griffin you called them 'activists' and a 'community. Activists don't send SWAT teams to women's houses to terrorise them. Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 3h @Glinner I don't see activists as a morally-charged word. They're activists, for bad causes. Graham Linehan Glinner 3h @.andrew_griffin then present the facts and detail how #notyourshield started on 4chan as a smokescreen for abuse tinyurl.com/n7nt99z わロ★ Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin-3h @Glinner i said pretty much that. The went on to talk about sock puppets Maybe not enough but it's there Graham Linehan @Glinner Follow @_andrew_griffin rather than their doxxing, their SWAT-ing, their sending pics of dead babies to Quinm, Wu etc, then you ARE editorialising FAVORITE 9:47 AM-6 Mar 2015 Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner but that's not what this piece was about. We write about all of those things i100.independent.co.uk/article/meanwh.. Graham Linehan Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin whatever, man. You added to the confusion with that particular piece and that's all I have to say about it Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -2h @Glinner that's not all you had to say: you also insulted me to your 500k followers. But yes 'whatever get feeling you've made your mind up Graham Linehan @Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin I didn't include your username and you should be thankful I didn't Andrew Griffin@_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner that sounds fairly menacing Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h _andrew griffin ha. Try being Zoe Quinn. My point is I could have tweeted yr username and I didn't because you would have had many more わ ★ Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin than me telling you what a disaster that piece was. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 1h @Glinner I'm not even going to bother with how crass your first sentence is. Re the rest: yes, I understood what you meant Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 1h @Glinner and that's why it was threatening: "you should be thankful I went easy on you because I could have done more" is a threat Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin again, try being Zoe Quinn if that's your threshold. You wouldn't last an hour under her circumstances. Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin 1h @Glinner this is so, so crass. I'm not engaging with it, sorry

I'm not sure if there is another famous Robespierre, but there Robespierre was the Leader of the French Revolution and Basically accused a shit-ton of people for Treason. And he did this so often that one time, after he told everyone he would soon Publish a List of very Important Traitors, all of his former Friends went Nuts, thinking they could be among them and basically got rid of Robespierre really fast via Guillotine.
