I think I found the most hysterical twitter account of all time.

Imagine being this loving mad about video games.

I really want to see #takebackanime play into people like this.

Baldwin and IA are going to be on some radio show talking about Gamergate and Adam tweeted in Klepack, inviting him to join. I'm guessing he won't show

If that chick was 'fired' why is her article still up?

"Freelancer" means that they aren't employees, and are only commissioned to write an article. You can't fire somebody that you don't employ. The editor of that department even says that he requested the piece: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/03/gamergate-corruption-games-anita-sarkeesian-zoe-quinn

and I was happy to commission Jenn Frank’s piece on the disgusting excesses of anti-social behaviour in some quarters of the games community

Klepack(sp) VS internet aristocrat & Adam (loving) Baldwin?

This won't happen. Why would Klepek agree to go on some right-winger's show? It'd 3 on 1 at that point, with the guy who agrees with IA and Baldwin at the switch.

The editor-in-chief does not sign your paycheck. If you're kept afloat by a sponsorship from, say, Sony, and then a Sony rep sends you an email saying "shitcan this shitlord or I am pulling the plug on this shitshow," you drop the axe.
