Room for more right now. Need another mod or two, for example. An "outsider" in the mod or even administrator ranks would be nice, if possible.

Well, I assume the next step in the escalation of this stuff is the legal system, such as Mike Cernovich, a "Manosphere" blogger, recently filing suit against an anti-GamerGate lady who he says doxxed him, filed a false police report, and encouraged others to do the same. Yes, funny how a recent Ga...
