It's rare that you get something quite so unguarded from a high profile gaming journo, and it's incredibly dispiriting. Someone appears to have threatened his kids, and it looks like there was some bullying going on at the recent GMA awards.
Obviously those bits are terrible, but it's interesting he brings up Matt Lees. As far as I can remember, Lees attacked Stanton on Twitter for running a soft interview with TotalBiscuit. Said article was essentially an informal chat between a new Kotaku staff writer and her old friend, TB, which allowed him carte blanche to paper over his terrible attitudes towards GamerGate. Stanton then wrote an official apology on the site, which meant both sides of the argument came at him rather than one. He obviously hasn't forgotten.
EDIT:
Found the thread on the TB interview. The interview itself is worse than I remembered, actually having the gall to ask TB how he deals with received hate rather than the hate he helped disseminate. Lees' reaction isn't exactly calm and considered however.
