:It does just seem like policy abuse to try to use BLP there. It should be obvious where I stand here, I just ask for civility, insults and unsubstantiated allegations just drag the conversation down a pit. [[User:Halfhat|Halfhat]] ([[User talk:Halfhat|talk]]) 17:50, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

== The "Gamergaters have been threatened too!!!!1" paragraph ==

I've been heavily editing the paragraph to remove the highly charged descriptions of the threats that they've reported. We do not include any details on the threats received by the anti-GamerGate side (aside from the ones to Quinn, which is again because she's the target) so we do not need to say that Boogie was threatened to become a widower or that the John Doe gamergater was threatened with being mutilated.

And, as I said in the section above, the sourcing for this is poor. Most of the sourcing for Yiannopolous's syringe is single updates to two pieces and a single sentence in another.

*Is [http://reason.com/archives/2014/10/12/gamergate-part-i-sex-lies-and-gender-gam/1 Reason.com] a reliable source? I'm personally not sure.

*[http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/ TechCrunch] and [http://kotaku.com/another-woman-in-gaming-flees-home-following-death-thre-1645280338 Kotaku] include post-publishing "updates" that mention the syringe

*Is [http://www.inquisitr.com/1548436/gamergate-movement-claims-their-female-lgbt-and-non-white-supporters-are-under-attack/ Inquisitr] a reliable source? I don't think it is.

*This piece by [http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/10/24/how-some-gamergate-supporters-say-the-controversy-could-stop-in-one-week/ The Washington Post] covers it, so that passes (but only mentiones one Jane Doe and an identified but non-notable John Doe)

*Is [http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/games/62442166/gamergate-supporter-receives-death-threats.html Stuff.co.nz] a reliable source? Or [http://nzgamer.com/news/8262/gamergate-supporter-boogie2988-threatened-calls-for-peace.html NZGamer] as thats where it was originally published?
