Amusing, yes... but otherwise dickish (it's still spam from a bot) and unimpressive. Even fairly brain-dead responses will emit a reply from somebody, just like sending 419 scam.

Anyone interested in learning more about GamerGate is well-advised to visit http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction (KiA). The sub is highly active and the wiki is reasonably well-curated. Polite, rational skeptics are welcome.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gamergate is extensively referenced. Don't just believe the text - check the references.

I've already read almost all of those references. The story told by the wiki article is downright comical in its misrepresentation of those references.
