It's a <300 line Perl script that anyone could have thrown together in less than an hour. If that's all it takes to be a coder worthy of anything other than code monkey work then I've been looking for jobs in the wrong places. And if you really think that someone following someone you disagree with on Twitter is grounds for never interacting with them at all, then I'm sorry to say but you exist in a nice little hugbox.

Done absolutely nothing to stop it? GamerGate rooted out one of Anita's harassers and gave her his info. GamerGate has a harassment patrol that actively reports abusers. Maybe you should look at your own perception and realize that you're focusing on the 1% that is bad and ignoring the 99% that isn't?

The issue is that it works on the premise of guilt by association. It blocked an IGDA chairman FFS. The only thing it serves to do is filter out opinions you disagree with, which does nothing but harm anyone who cares to think outside their comfort zone.

Are these "anti-abuse tools" going to be as poorly-made as the GG blocker? Because if so, you're going to do more harm than good.
