It seems that Anti-GamerGate are Quite A Bit Upset. After Atheism Plus ‘Won’ the recent litigation by having both defendants resign, remove the objectionable text and move their ‘bot out of the country, they are now joined by Randi Harper, who has declared war on an entirely imaginary application.
Randi Harper is on a crusade against an imaginary enemy. Literally, this time.
Yesterday, I registered this Twitter account, for a ‘parody’ robot. In case it was not too obvious, I wrote ‘Parody’ at the top. Unfortunately, words are hard for @FreeBSDGirl .
‘Parody’ being a word of a whole two syllables is clearly too difficult for Randi Harper. ETHICS EDIT 22/03/2015 21:05 GMT KiA CORRECTLY POINT OUT 3 SYLLABLES. So I was interrupted from a happy evening working on my ’emotional triggers’ analysis device by the below spew of targeted tweets.
Not only has Randi attacked me, she appears to have sent me 7 unsolicited tweets whilst blocking me, which I believe is now defined as ‘harassment’ under the new Twitter rules. Feel free to report. The irony is, she says that, I “can’t understand sarcasm”.
Randi Harper is very, very angry. She is also very, very dumb.
I would note that none of these measures (both defendants resign, remove the objectionable text and move their ‘bot out of the country) would seem to be a defense against possible class-action litigation.
The damages incurred by the Block Bot’s operation, after all, did not disappear. Indeed, by transferring the Bot to another country so that its operations can continue outside the realm of UK law, it is clear that the preceding acts of libel and defamation have not in fact been repudiated by their originators. They are merely attempting to dodge the requirements of law.
I would recommend proceeding with any and all appropriate litigation.
Parody is three syllables. This is still funny though.
Well said. I had just had the same corrections from KiA and literally put in an edit before seeing this. Witchfinder needs to learn to count.
