Text of Article[Links omitted]:
Game developer Zoë Quinn has been through an awful lot in the 18 months since an ex-boyfriend posted details of his relationship with her online. But now she's dropping harassment charges against the man who essentially started the GamerGate firestorm because it's not worth the emotional trauma to carry the case forward anymore. "Ironically, getting a restraining order against Creep Throat [Quinn's pseudonym for her ex] was the least effective thing I could do in terms of getting him out of my life for good, and for protecting myself," she writes.
Quinn explains that whenever something happened within the case, her ex would go back and stoke the GamerGate sympathizer fire, and in turn, she (along with family and friends) would be subjected to a new round of threats and abuse. "People kept getting hurt for being close to me, for a poorly worded restraining order that did nothing," Quinn says.
She mentions that law enforcement officials, judges and lawyers are incredibly ignorant about how the internet works and at one point someone told her to give up her career and stop going online if she didn't like the abuse. "He barely bothered to look at my huge stack of evidence before declaring he had no idea what the internet was about and didn't want to know." The continual threats are something that's affected her work with Crash Override, the support group she and Alex Lifschitz founded for victims of online abuse, as well.
She says that even if she kept pushing her suit forward, if her ex was imprisoned his legions of followers would see it as martyrdom. Which, based on previous harassment she's endured, Quinn says the would only give them more fuel for their attacks. So rather than continue the fight in vain, Quinn hopes her withdrawal of charges will help her heal and move on.

The only way justice is ever done to him is if he mans up and sue her.
He's got more than enough reasons and evidence to do it. Question is: I'm not sure he's got the balls.
But he should do it. And set precedent that one can't use the legal system to subdue someone into silence against your abuse. After all, it's crystal clear how much all of this has oppressed not her, but Gjoni, as an attempt to shut him down on what he suffered not just during their relationship, but also after it, when she made him out to be the boogeyman leader of a boogeyman hate mob. All with strict use of lies and projection.

And here's the thing: The justice system hasn't failed her. This is a tactical decision on her end to avoid the case going to trial. Remember:
http://www.ma-appellatecourts.org/display_docket.php?src=party&dno=DAR-23470
She already wanted to dismiss the initial charge against him back in August and effectively throw the case out then. Over a month before she went to the UN.
If Eron simply wanted to "win" then he would've worked with that. He didn't, he chose to fight. Zoe's lawyers said that since the order was vacated there's no case to be had, the highest court just said "talk to the lower court about it." So Eron did.
If Eron simply wanted to "win" then this would've ended one month ago. Zoe dropped the charge and anything related to it, making the initial case moot. In exchange though she put in a criminal harassment charge, to stretch the case out. This was partially a bluff to Eron to say "I will drag you out for another year" and partially a bluff to the court to say "the case as is has become moot because there's nothing there anymore." But Eron chose to fight still and the appellate court said that oral hearings will take place in March.
Again.
That was one month ago.
Now, under a month away from this, Zoe claims to be dropping all charges. Just dropping everything, she doesn't want to be precedent. She's not lying about that: She doesn't. Because even though the case right now is moot oral arguments, should they continue, will be about the case as a first amendment issue and how the initial order was unconstitutional. If Eron wanted to simply win he would've done so in August. He wants precedent so that this never happens to anyone in MA again. He continued a case where the order was VACATED because he wants the court to rule on it and he has a major first amendment lawyer backing him up.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/08/24/you-are-also-ordered-not-to-post-any-further-information-about-the-plaintiff/
The fact is that the media spin is 100% a calculated risk. She wants the court to back off and leave the dropped case alone and will try to use media pressure to make it happen as well as look like a weak abused girl instead of the manipulator that she is.

A wave of rainbow-colored hair marches upon the major political and educational buildings.
…a lone anti-SJW stands on the steps.
He grabs a megaphone, and yells out a racist joke.
The crowd scatters in a sea of tears as they all run to their safe spaces.

Fucking this. If Eron wants to end it here I'm glad that he doesn't have to fight anymore, but this isn't really a victory. This is just a nothing; all that's come out of it is a waste of everyone's time and money. Seeing as Zoe still has a patreon, I'm pretty sure that makes the money lost a bigger issue for Eron than him. Plus, she now gets to play the "I was berated out of my case by those mean gobblygoobers; I couldn't take the harassment, so I stopped; they won, cry for me. Thus, she's kinda come out on top doing this.

I dunno, I don't really look at it like that. Eron could have been silenced but he wasn't. She slapped him and expected him to back down into silence but he didn't go away, and now he's coming to make her answer for her abuses, all while her enablers scramble to make anything look good for her victim status. Meanwhile because of Zoe's actions, she may have enabled Eron to actually do something historically significant and set a legal precedent.
This is all good, this is the fire that Zoe and her friends started, and now they can't put it out.

They know that Wu is too risky and needs to be kept at arms length. aGG already admitted they don't like him, he's insulted their little commie party by not renouncing capitalism.
