Eh, I wouldn't worry about it much Joel. Some people don't wanna hear your opinion or input on things unless its exactly like theirs, especially here on the internet. They feel that if they get you to shut up then they win because their voice is all that matters and all that should be heard.
I don't claim to know much of anything about "Gamergate" or whatever they wanna call it. I did read some of that link you provided and stopped when I got to where she said:
That's not the truth, that is her opinion. In continuing to read the article, again and again she tries to pass her opinions off as undeniable truth that cannot be debated. She's preaching, and just like a preacher at the pulpit, if you don't eat the wafer she's shoving down your throat then you're going to hell. But you and I don't know much about the whole "Gamergate" controversy, and we are men so we can't even speak our opinion because "...the fact that (you) could even think she would do such a thing proves that (you're) misogynistic." Just more opinions presented as fact.
You simply cannot win against these people unless you're willing to fight their stupidity with your own stupidity, and then the best you can do is a stalemate unless you want to resort to violence. And when violence enters the debate, everyone looses and nobody wins.
