your continued insistence that the problematic behavior is sourced from elsewhere

So you're suggesting that Steam is the source of the extremist behavior we see across a broad spectrum of other media?

For someone literally arguing about argumentation, it sure is hard to see your point.

No, you just don’t seem to be understanding what I’m saying, or the point of the article linked. The source is the users, of course. What I’m saying is that they didn’t come from twitter. They’ve always been on Steam, just as they’ve always been on twitter or facebook.

And so, it logically follows that if you blame twitter for not dealing with users like that, then you must, by necessity, blame Valve for not dealing with them either.

This just in:

Steam users only use Steam and no other platforms.
