Always be civil when interacting with new people about GamerGate. From: https://twitter.com/AlessioWard/status/715461726263762944 To: https://twitter.com/AlessioWard/status/715467849599291392 This is twice in just as many days where myslef and others were able to convince an otherwise hostile (and likely ignorant) anti-GamerGate person. In both cases the person admitted that they were ignorant and we at least partially changed their views just by being polite and presenting a divergent opinion from what the media has put out there. Obviously some people like Randi Harper aren't interested in having an honest dialogue, but you might win over the person or any neutrals who are watching the exchange. If you have the time, I'd also recommend listening to this audiobook chapter that Sargon uploaded. You kill your hostile opponent not with aggression, but with civility, thus planting seeds of doubt in their mind and winning over any onlookers.
