#OpSantaKlaws

Christian or not, there is much wisdom in Romans 12:20-21 (I'm not even Christian, or religious at all)

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A20-21&version=KJV

"Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

*Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.*"

That is what #OpSantaKlaws is all about. Overcoming the evil of the hostility, toxicity, vileness, bitterness, and general mean-spiritedness of the #GamerGate conflict that has been being spewed every which way for the past almost four months now.

At least for Christmas, let us not continue to relentlessly insult and denigrate and bully anybody else. At least for Christmas, let us be not overcome of evil, but let us overcome evil with good, instead. Spread a spirit of good-will towards each other, benevolence, generosity, and friendship.

To some degree for part of #GamerGate, #GamerGate is about getting back to just plain having fun with video games. That's what video games are for, right? Even if they can make us think and feel and philosophize at times, more than anything, video games are about having fun, and a lot of the times doing those very things we just mentioned can be fun. Since both sides of this conflict seem to have some difficult forgetting the basic meaning of what a video game is, let's spread the fun to all sides during the Steam Christmas sales!

This is where #OpSantaKlaws comes in.

Pro-#GamerGate should compile e-mails and Steam accounts of anti-#GamerGate people, including a note of what genre or theme of game they seem to enjoy.

Detractors may call it doxxing, but it's not. We're just getting the information needed to send video games to our so-called "enemies" so we can all remember what video games are about: Having fun.

Let's compile all of the information here, on this Google Doc:

When the Steam Holiday sales begin, pick somebody off of the list, and buy them a game to show that, even if you disagree with them, you appreciate them as a person who should be able to have fun with video games like everyone else.
