Fucking kid calling himself an inventor, who the fuck does he think he is... :maf

If Steve Jobs was an "innovator" and Feargus Urquhart "makes good games" then a kid fucking around with taking shit apart is an inventor.

May I remind you

He invented the clock the same way Evilore invented NeoGAF. That is to say, he took something and broke it and put it in a different box and showed it to every single girl in his class.

The difference is that the kid is 14 and got arrested while Evilore is a grown ass man who roams free.

That Ahmed the evil clock inventor thread is just the greatest.

So many people gave Terrence Howard shit about 1x1=2 but holy hell.

Black = Ahmed is a master criminal manipulating the press into giving him free stuff and he doesn't deserve it
White = You're a fucking racist and Amerikkka sucks

THERE IS NO GRAY NOT POSSIBLE BEEP BOOP

Then the fearless leader posts something dumb on the NOT OKAY side and all hell breaks loose.

 ::) Most people in that thread are saying obviously the kid isn't some great inventor and nobody with a brain thought he was. That seems like a pretty rational response to Dawkins spazzing out over the behavior of a 14 year old, no "middle ground" needed.

Evilore has a hate boner for Arabs and Islam, guess that's what happens when you get scammed at a Turkish brothel.

Dawkins is a sack of shit. "Elevatorgate" was a mess for everyone involved, but it doesn't justify that.

was it a year ago, or maybe two years ago, when there was a magazine profile on EL, and gametrailers did a video on gaf and he was at E3 talking to people, appearing here and there... Nothing really came of that, did it? I figured he was gearing up to sell the site, but it kinda was just this little blip of media attention that fizzled into nothing?

I don't get it.

Absolutely.

The faked insiders, gamersgate, EL's own past, that horrible european trip thread, and other smaller stuff have HAD to devalue the site.

No. The chilling effect comes from comments like the one he replied to (But I'm pretty sure you just looked him up to make a point and don't really give a shit about him. +1 for finding a minority.) Instead of going after the point, the poster went and made a personal attack. That's the kind of shit people have to put up with all the time for daring to go against the false media narrative of the day.
