"Women in tech", doxing, Kathy Sierra, and the koolaid.

[weev]

We must differentiate between "women in tech" and women making tech. There are many self-proclaimed "women in tech". A representative member of the "women in tech" community has no useful free software contributions, a series of non-technical job roles at insignificant companies, no successful investments, no notable hacks to their name, and a very

Actually, the questions I'm inclined to ask are:

1. On what do you base the claim that Kathy Sierra is "mentally ill?"

and

2. Did you dox her?

[weev]

Clearly you did not read the post as I firmly answered number 2 in it.

[paft]

I know what you said. Were all those other quotes from you in the NYT article made up too?

And my first question stands.

[weev]

One can merely read Sierra's incoherent, rambling writing to know that she suffers from serious mental illness. Beyond that, she's persisted with a serious delusion for years. She should probably be committed.

[paft]

I too want to know: were you lying about doxing Sierra in that NYT article, or was Schwartz? Or are you lying now?

You have not said "I did not dox Sierra". And of course making a fake myspace page is child's play. A reasonable man or woman would conclude that you did dox her.

[weev]

I am not lying. Schwartz repeatedly lied in the article.

I said very clear in the article, and elsewhere, that I did not make the post Schwartz claims.

It's too bad the evidence is so many years cold, but your claim that I would be taking credit for it and simultaneously be making a fake MySpace profile for the identity of the poster is completely incoherent.

Again, not an answer to the question you were asked.

[paft]

These people are crazy, asking questions of things plainly answered repeatedly, while insisting you've never answered them. Help humanity if this is our collective level of ignorance.

[weev]

Yeah, SJWs are evidence that #HitlerDidNothingWrong.

We will fire up the ovens soon.

[paft]

I like how you vilify mental illness and make it a weapon to use as an insult. Real classy.

[paft]

Weev is being realitist. The realities inhabited by mentally ill people are no less valid than our own. Sane people constantly attempt to colonize mentally ill realities, when they should just shut up and listen to insane peoples' experiences with reality.

[oleyka]

Not an answer. Let me help you: "I claim that Kathy Sierra is mentally ill on the base of ______________________".

[paft]

I claim that you are mentally ill on the basis of your posts here.

idiot.
