The abuse continues

Shortly before you visited the Talk:Gamergate_controversy article and after my previous request TheRedPenOfDoom made open attacks against living person Milo Yiannopoulos. As I was chastised for voicing my suspicions against WP:F, I feel this too will warrant a formal notice.--ArmyLine (talk) 05:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Due to RL, I've had no time to look at WP, hopefully I'll have some time this coming week. Dreadstar 01:17, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you.--ArmyLine (talk) 21:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Er, bullshit. All he said was that Milo is becoming too close to the gamergate stuff and is losing his objectivity on the matter. That is mild bordering on the milquetoast. Disagree if you like, but WP:BLP policy protects subjects from actual defamatory attacks and slurs and the like, it does not inoculate the subject from every last critical observation.

The mainstream response to B/Y is pretty much "yawn, nothing there", "hmmm, some presentation out of context -not exactly what you would expect from a journalist purportedly expounding on journalistic ethics" to "yowsa! can you believe he is blaming the victims of the death threats????? " I am not really sure how you wan to fit that into the article. Note: this is referring to Milo. I would think that saying "yowsa! can you believe he is blaming the victims of the death threats" (not an actual quotation) is patently defamatory and has no place on an encyclopedia.

I really don't have a general interest in what you have to say, to be honest. I only posted here to point out that this specific claim of "defamation" was bogus. WP:ANI is thataway if you really wish to make hay of it. Tarc (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
