 ::I've seen few topics that generate such a high level of vitriol: not even the Middle East, for crying out loud. Gamergate is not exempt from normal BLP guidelines, and I'm not tolerant of discussions of people's intimate life as an excuse for criticism. There's plenty of condescension on both sides, and I am totally uninterested in that behavior: it goes with the territory. You don't get to lash out because you feel condescended to. I'm open to unblocking, provided you observe a topic ban, and provided you keep a cool head. That last edit was astoundingly nasty. As for the ""autistic,"" Wikipedia wouldn't exist without people on the autism spectrum: you owe those people an apology. However, as Dennis notes, your request is a good first step.   "
