        I'm not sure I understand your point John. Who is being a "social terrorist"?

        My photos, along with 7 others have been smeared all over the internet in an attempt to silence me. Why? Because I spoke up against Damore.

        I've had threats. I've had harassment. And this is happening not just to me, but to an increasing set of people for opposing Damore & ilk.

        Thanks for clarifying. Johns post is kinda incoherent. I wasn't sure where he stood.

        Also didn't have all the context cause I was offline for a moment. Journalists shouldn't assume everyone is caught up. At least reference.

        Would it have been a dialog? An open debate? If one side had to worry about being fired?

        If a company actually had to stop a meeting due to threats of violence from outside then it is a criminal matter and arrests need to be made

        is the irony of your complaining about people being unable to have an important dialogue lost on you?

        I would suggest that with such polarized search results from Google, etc., their use as a platform for social discourse is minimal.

        I always put on my balaclava when I sit down in front of my white supremacist laptop to perform social terrorism against mega-corporations.
