For my teacher....Comment away.

I don't usually ask this, but if you can, comment on this if you can. I truly mean the things I say in this and just like you, gamergate means a lot to me.
So please, though I assume you will be, be polite, and provide info/explain the situation to him. Be as thorough as you deem fit. And provide links of evidence as necessary.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and work.
Together we will fight the SJW's, corruption, dishonesty, and their smear campaign.

Developer struck down after showing neutrality of opinion towards Gamergate
![(Originally emailed to Georgina Young at TechRaptor) Hi, I'm Ashley Ross, better known as @SudoRossy on twitter You can find a partial list of games l've made on http://sudorossy.itch.io I've worked on a number of non-personal games and other projects as a programmer or musician, but I can't, and won't comment on those as many other people involved in those projects either want nothing to do with GamerGate, or our opinions differ, I wouldn't want to come across as speaking for them in any capacity Enough introductions. Here's my thoughts on the IGDA kerfuffle, specifically their encouraging the use of a blocklist (known as GGAutoBlocker) as a tool to prevent harassment, and the response to the controversy surrounding that. Sorry in advance, I know you only requested one paragraph, but I'm not the best at writing and found it hard to get my thoughts into a single paragraph. There's been a lot of talk about harassment on the internet recently. I won't, and can't deny its existence, and I won't deny the effects it can have on an individual. I've been the target of harassment/bullying over the internet and in life. It's not something I would wish on any individual or group, regardless of my personal feelings towards them. The creation of this list is something I have mixed feelings about. It's sheer size is a red flag, 10,000+ at the start of the controversy and now currently sitting at just under that at the time of writing (2014/11/23) The idea itself is something I support. A much smaller list, personally curated (rather than a bot) and peer reviewed would be a fantastic resource. I truly believe it would create a safer space for everyone. Such a thing is already happening to a small degree with the GamerGate harassment patrol" finding and mass reporting burner accounts used to harass various figures via twitter. I could spend a while picking apart everything wrong with the bot and list as a result, but that's not the point of this. The issue at hand is IGDA themselves choosing to promote a list they themselves haven't reviewed (evidently so by the existence of one of their own members being wrongly on the list). This creates a number of problems, not in the least being giving an individual person far more power in the industry than they should have. Should the list become mass adopted, Randi Harper could blacklist any developer or individual she pleases. IGDA's response to this entire controversy is baffling to be honest. The initial post calls everybody on the list among the "worst harassers" on social media, which is very dishonest. This mistake of course comes about as a result of not doing any real research into the list. The IGDA is a big organisation, many people will trust their words. By approving this list, they could cost people jobs. Potential employers could check to see if someone is on this list. I know l've gained initial contact with clients through twitter before and I can only imagine my reaction if I found out l'd missed out on a potential contract due to some algorithm placing me on a list of "known harassers" I haven't seen any apology from IGDA yet, and to be honest, I'm not hopeful. Their latest statement is back-peddling at best, placing the blame on the readerfor taking a link placed on a guide on their side to mean some form of endorsement by them erfect world, I'd like to see a ology, I'd like to see the removal of the list (which has happened), and i erfect world, maybe ased community moderated list.
