I went to a gay steakhouse for a first date.  It was my date's suggestion.  It was a nice place.  She told me about how she masturbated to Piers Anthony novels when she was a kid.  There wasn't a second date.  The steak was good, though!

On A Pale Horse was a pretty good book when I was a teenager! 

is that one of his pedo books?

Of course. He writes non pedo books?

Settle in, this is a doozy
The following is a slightly edited account from very own /u/elfa82 (so as to fit SRD rules), who was doxxed during this series of strange events, and ended up shining a light on Carrot:
Carrot is a chat service that lets you talk with other redditors real-time. To do this, you need to install a chrome extension or a mobile app. /r/HighQualityGifs was a subreddit that was going to try out the app. Several mods installed the app. Shortly after, it was noticed that the app subscribes to their subreddit and upvotes posts there.
After the developer, /u/calbearia, who had been PMing people that removed the extension, modmailed /r/outoftheloop, [Elfa says he was] bit drunk and very bluntly told him the weren’t interested in an app that voted and subscribed for you. At this point, /u/calbearia jumped into the chat of a private sub (where he should only have been for developing and debugging) to ask them to calm Elfa down. After Elfa shared his concerns, he stopped responding, apologized to his fellow mods for being a bit too blunt, and went to bed.
On Tuesday, a mod in another sub asked if HQG's wanted to use carrot and used HighQualityGifs as an example of a sub that was using it. At this point, Elfa went to the other HQG mods and said they should let people know to use the chat at their own risk. A sticky announcement post was made, letting their users know that it was not an official chat and they had nothing to do with it. The first comment was asking why, so /u/matt01ss explained the votes and subscriptions and entering private chat, only to be met from /u/calbearia saying he only came to the chat for debugging. After Elfa [confronted /u/calbearia], he received a PM asking to join him on skype to talk. /u/calbearia posted a comment which received instant upvotes and triple gilding, along with an army of accounts defending him, and praising the app. In an effort of transparency, Elfa pinged /u/calbearia and asked him publicly to clarify each of these points, only for him to ask to talk human to human instead.
Several hours later, /u/calbearia doxed Elfa, and started harassing him off reddit. He called and texted Elfa before he eventually had to shut his phone off to end his harassment. He also emailed Elfa (even threatened legal action). While /u/calbearia originally said Elfa provided the phone number, he eventually admitted to googling it, but refuses to PM proof that it can be googled (it can’t).
During this time, /u/_kingside_ came forward with concerns about carrot as well. Other users started mentioning odd activity correlated to removing the app, recognizing that /u/calbearia doxed them to spam carrot, and promoting bigoted members. /u/calbearia is found to have admitted that the extension could access all your browser data, in addition he admits to engaging in illegal activity. /u/xniklasx messaged me about another doxing, and /u/DickKneeAss was kind enough to share his story as well image in message.
/u/calbearia also posts on /r/irc about rival snoonet and attempts to plead his case further, as the backlash reaches it's peak.
As of now, all moderators of /r/carrot have been suspended except 1 who seemed inactive and the subreddit has been banned! Please be wary of trusting new apps, no matter how neat their product sounds or how “transparent” they may be.
EDIT:
The front page of Carrot has a message in the wake of the drama:

Completely incomprehensible.

thoughts on pivot bikes, Kara?

I'm glad you asked, PD.

Bike Radar said Pivot's Mach 429 was "an outrageously smooth, capably confident and futureproofed cruiser, but the surprisingly flexy back end of the Pivot means it lacks ultimate punch and precision when things get really rowdy, " to which I add, I'm sure happy (as a human being) that members of the Taiwanese proletariat inhaled possibly (probably?) carcinogenic carbon fiber dust for hours to construct a poorly engineered bicycle that retails for over 4 thousand USD.

But what about their metal offerings? Well my fellow members of the #aluminati, their Mach 6 Alloy might be "impressively stiff in terms of tracking and holding lines" but I can't get beyond the use of a PF92 bottom bracket shell myself. If you're going to purchase a press fit alloy frame you might as well buy a department store bike. Not only will you experience a milder case of buyer's remorse in 6 months when you realize that you don't actually like mountain biking and that's why your vélo spent the last 4 months straight in the garage, but odds are it was manufactured to much more stringent build tolerances than a Pivot ever would be, the marketing in this industry being so cynical that higher costs often yield inferior products.

Snob out.

I have no problem with straight guys coming to gay bars or clubs. But going because there are "hot women" there? Get the fuck out. They go there to get away from slimefucks like you.

(Straight women are of course completely welcome as far I'm concerned, because they have to deal with fuckboys like the linked poster.)

I used to go to a gay bar called the run in omaha. I went there because they had cheap beer and no dudebros. I was also the token straight guy who everyone tried to convert, it was fun and I made lots of good friends.

*goes to the gay bar to get attention he lacks in the real world. But swears he isn't gay.

When we would have family movie night growing up my parents would tell me to crank up the victrola.

[Your Stalker]

I am not sure which one it was, but there was a RoundTable in the past two months or so where Nick did one too many "Ya-Has" and Ryab took off his headphones, got out of his chair, and walked away/off-camera for a good three minutes or so.

The rest of the crew laughed at it and I think he was not actually mad, but it reminded me so vividly of when my mom and dad used to fight and my dad would get in his car and drive away for the night. I never did find out where he went. Mom said it was probably to some bar or a seedy motel. Wherever it was, he ended up not coming back one time and I have not seen him for fifteen years. I do not know if they ever officially got divorced but after he left mom started using her maiden name and sold her ring to help pay off the van. I would not say I hate my dad though, I just do not want him to be part of my life so if he tried to reconnect with me now I would tell him to fuck off.

Looking forward to "Pharah's mom is preventing me from buying Overwatch because it's now too diverse, which makes me suspicious that they are sarcastically including diverse characters as a parody of sorts"

The final days of neogaf will be a battle royale of Lime, LinkToTheSnitch, BobbyRoberts, and a few other "woke-gaf" superstars just eliminating each other one-by-one as they each try to discover each other's secret prejudices with Death Note-style arguments and logic. Yet still, none of them will have the self-awareness to realize they're literally competing in the social awareness olympics and that they look like distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who tried to form a perfect online identity within the bounds of gaf moderation rules.

Nope.

Of course if the next question was
"Do you think men make work situations dramatic?"
The answer would be "Absolfuckinglutely"

A better question would've been "Do you think women make situations at work more dramatic than their male counterparts?"
