Slate writer David Auerbach is currently under a smear and mob attack by SJWs for writing a piece questioning blocklists.

The attack has been ongoing for the past half a day or so.

Foremost among the SJWs inciting attacks against him are Anil Dash and Andy Baio.

How this relates to GamerGate: Multiple blocklists have been used to reduce the effectiveness of GamerGate activism, to smear, libel, and slander GamerGate activists, and to professionally blacklist GamerGate activists from the gaming and tech sectors. The tactics currently being used against David Auerbach by SJWs have also been regularly used against GamerGate activists. David Auerbach has covered GamerGate fairly and ethically for a couple of months, and continues to share his thoughts on it via Twitter.
