Article on Terry Teachout's H L Mencken biography. Mencken believed that the Novel should above all report. It should tell the truth about life as it is lived and never, ever preach... If you were new to Mencken, you might come away from this book with the notion that he was the most fearless and gifted Journalist of the last century, but you'd first ask why we still read such a creep.

In Computer Game Culture, Gamergate (sometimes referred to as the Hash Tag #GamerGate) is an online movement which emerged around false allegations of unethical conduct levied against indie game developer Zoe Quinn in August 2014. Some supporters have stated that they are concerned with ethical issues in video game Journalism, particularly conflicts of interest between video game journalists and developers. However, Gamergate has become most notable for a series of misogynistic and violent threats and harassment targeting Quinn and other prominent women in gaming, drawing widespread condemnation. The movement's unwillingness or inability to control the attacks carried out in its name is generally seen as preventing constructive engagement. The harassment campaigns against women, combative rhetoric, and criticism of those examining video games from feminist or other minority perspectives has resulted in the movement being widely viewed as fighting a Culture War against the increasing diversity of video game culture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversy (more)
