A Gamergater called "Chum's knife blade" claims to be photo-stalking Brianna at PAX. pic.twitter.com/D9ea9HJge3
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 The responses are disturbing. pic.twitter.com/3Onyxt1ZLP
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 @23Breach @PixieJenni He retweeted these. Doesn't seem to be motivated by sunshine and buttercups. pic.twitter.com/WxcFo9qoBg
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 A former PAX enforcer tells me the situation is being handled by upper management. Sounds like the word has gotten to the right ears.
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 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.
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 But photostalking someone and retweeting threats at a conference is not appropriate behavior for conference staff or volunteers!
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 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.
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 Whatever steps PAX wants to take, it's in their hands.
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 In the interest of fairness, he has apologized for retweeting the death threat joke. pic.twitter.com/TAkq1W1Ozq
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 Whether an enforcer taking photos without permission and posting them to be mocked by their followers is acceptable, I'll leave up to PAX.
— jere7my (@jere7my) March 7, 2015 Very disappointed by the behavior of a fellow #Enforcer - Sorry, but if you aren't put out already, apologize and leave. Now.

Gamergate's response to the PAX enforcer incident: launch a FUD op! pic.twitter.com/Vs3LWWoAec

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.
— Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) March 8, 2015 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.
— Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) March 8, 2015 Tycho, Gabe? The ball's in your court. This guy needs to be banned from all PAX events, everywhere. Forever.
