@23Breach @PixieJenni He retweeted these. Doesn't seem to be motivated by sunshine and buttercups. pic.twitter.com/WxcFo9qoBg

A former PAX enforcer tells me the situation is being handled by upper management. Sounds like the word has gotten to the right ears.

A lot of Gaters/Channers are explaining to me that he wasn't actually planning to hurt Brianna. That's likely, and I'm glad to hear it.

But photostalking someone and retweeting threats at a conference is not appropriate behavior for conference staff or volunteers!

It pains me that I have to say something so obvious. Notifying PAX management was the right thing to do, and it has been done.

Whatever steps PAX wants to take, it's in their hands.

In the interest of fairness, he has apologized for retweeting the death threat joke. pic.twitter.com/TAkq1W1Ozq

Whether an enforcer taking photos without permission and posting them to be mocked by their followers is acceptable, I'll leave up to PAX.

Very disappointed by the behavior of a fellow #Enforcer - Sorry, but if you aren't put out already, apologize and leave. Now.

Of course, the GamerGate response is to launch a Fear, Uncertainty, and... oh, we'll say Denial ("shitpost") operation:

eta: Brianna Wu responds:
I'm getting questions about this, so let me be clear. People ask me to take pics with them all the time - I don't mind at all. Honored.

I do mind if you were in a position of providing security and you allude in social media to murdering me. Please don't do that.

Tycho, Gabe? The ball's in your court. This guy needs to be banned from all PAX events, everywhere. Forever.
