OT: Now that I have migrated to 8chan and will also consider here as my other home, and start posting once again, I would also like to give a heartfelt thanks to Tito.
As for 4chan's opinion after the mass deletion of all GG threads and outright lie by moot on /v/'s sticky...while I hope this doesn't get me a warning, this is what 4chan thinks:
Sigh, "kike", really? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, 4chan has a bad reputation for a reason. 552 people had no problem clicking on that, which considering the amount of people on 4chan is low but if we are to take this poll as meaningful (as you seem to do) then about 50% of the users not only had no issue with the word, were comfortable associating with it. That is really really sad.
I voted for that option.
Not because of the 'kike' part, but because moot was either selling us out (shill) or suddenly turned into a tyrannical admin, being possessed by the Illuminati or whatever. In any case, he no longer allowed the free expression that he once cherished, and there aren't many options other than at least being convinced by others to do it. This wouldn't be much of a surprise given that his girlfriend works for Gawker (not a subsidiary, but Gawker itself). I know that's leaning towards the conspiracy side, I admit, but there is a bit of evidence that he knows a few of the anti-discussion crowd and is in a relationship with someone that works for one of the parent companies of all of this.
TL;DR:
My vote was to show that moot was corrupt, because I thought that more important than whether or not GamerGate discussion was allowed.
(I also don't see a problem with the 'kike' part, but that's for another time. The short of *that* is that, yes, any and every slur in the book is used, and when it's money-related, they're more likely to be Jewish slurs, but that's just because hyperbole is common there, it does NOT mean any sort of antisemitism).
