I would like to direct you to the TechCrunch article that you said was biased: http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/?ncid=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29 This article is not biased in the least, it talks about what gamergate actually is. Also, I have already seen people who have used github in the past, delete their github accounts because of your choice to remove the content in question: https://twitter.com/DiglidiDudeNG/status/518424909664755712 You are losing customers because of this. I hope you know that.
