Whatever, Gabe, I’m outta here. Posts have been going downhill at Videogum for quite a long time, considering both topical and textual quality. I’ve been cutting you quite some slack, but I’ve definitely run out. Bye.

I’m not saying there are any mitigating circumstances, I’m just saying I don’t know all of the facts – as do any of you – so I’m not gonna be this kind of fake ‘moral crusader’ – like you guys – about something I don’t really know anything about. On,the other hand, it seems kind of pointless to say rape is bad – oh really? I didn’t know that. Why, thanks for pointing that out. I’ll change my plans for next Friday, then.

Agreed. I’m not one to choose sides, but with the way the ‘Videogum commenters incrowd’ (yes, you guys) has lately been downvoting any opinion even slightly differing from your own, I can sense a spirit of ignorance and blind idolatry getting the upper hand over the (mostly sarcastic, but still) common sense that I used to like about both Gabe’s posts and the subsequent entertaining comment banter. Lately, it’s like you’ve all gone ‘Go, Team Gabe!’, meanwhile shutting down the conversation I’m hoping he wanted to create with his posts.

Of course, there are some exceptions, but I have to admit I haven’t been that eager to check for updates lately, and this is why.

Also, Thetans:
