Brianna Wu, head of the independent gaming studio Giant Spacekat, was the target of a series of tweets containing death threats on Friday; one published her home address (since redacted). The poster's Twitter account has been disabled.
Wu responded on Friday night with the tweet:
Brianna Wu @Spacekatgal
The police just came by. Husband and I are going somewhere safe.
Remember, #gamergate isn't about attacking women.
GamerGate supporters denounced the threats and "doxxing" against Wu and disavowed the poster. However, several suspected that the tweets were a false flag created by anti-GamerGate forces:

@Sen_Armstrong @Spacekatgal @chatterwhiteman It's clearly either a troll or false flag shame that people actually think its legit.

Going by that exact quote that you've used at least 5 times now, I know that you're the guy that thinks everyone is Tork. You've called me Tork more times than I can count, but you keep insisting. Therefore, I'll just agree with you. EVERYONE IS TORK!

It's an interesting quote. It is indisputable proof that Tork likely is posting as Tork and as Anonymous Coward. It backs up the claim that many Anonymous Coward comments here are from Tork.

So because he posted as AC once, every AC post is by him? Thats one of the dumbest things you've tried to claim, and that's saying something.

No, not every AC post. Just most of them.
