This is a guide that will hopefully tell you everything you need to know about contacting, a la disrespectful nod and rebuild

Still being built upon. Anything on this article can change as I figure out whats what.

insert whatever here
(just pasting these here for later)


 * DO NOT MENTION YOUR AFFILIATION TO GAMERGATE. These people have most likely been contacted already and fed lies by anti-gamergate people, and many now ignore mails from gamergate supporters.


 * Open with Dear… followed by their surname/company name


 * Apologize if the email has gone to the wrong place but tell them that you have some serious concerns for the site they’re advertising on.


 * Write how you found the article in question or friend showed you it or that you saw it on social media and mention the author and the site it was from, it’s only relevant if they’re advertising on the site (cap obv much)


 * Show them some offensive quotes there are tons to work with, don’t over do it be calm about it, say that you used to read the site allot or that you tried to


 * Look into the company’s products if they don’t have any mention that you will not be going to the site it might seem like an empty threat but remember that there will be hundreds of emails going on at once saying the same thing.


 * End with your name an alias is too easy to dismiss.

Email Examples
Here are some decent emails that have been sent by other gamergate supporters in the past. While some of them have highlighted parts that show you what you might not want to do, they are otherwise decent examples that you can use as a basis for yours.

Keeping Anonymity
While it's best for you to break anonymity when contacting people through mail, there are ways you can go about it, but the best way is merely using a fake name. Most PR people will probably not double check your authenticity in this unless you come up with something that sounds undeniably fake like Frank Miller, and even if they do check, chances are they weren't going to listen to you anyway. Just make sure that this fake name is in your email address (abreviated or not).

"Securing" Your Email
If you're really tinfoil hat paranoid about this, while emailing is a fundamentally insecure protocol, to a limited extent you can secure your email transaction. But if you're looking for a be all end all completely secure trustworthy email provider that respects your privacy, you might as well look for an imaginary needle in a haystack. As an example, Hushmail has given info to court orders in the past. If you're thinking of using a proxy on a popular email site, that's a bad idea, as scripts and other things on the webpage can reveal your ip address. Despite all this, If you're thinking about using a temporary email address, scrap that idea too, because scammers were way ahead of you, and by this point many of these PR agencies probably have spam filters that block most of these addresses. However, if your willing to take a bit of a risk, there are these providers:


 * Airmail (cock.li) - This email server is run by a fellow anon. He admits on the site that the service is insecure, but security can be bumped up a bit with instructions below.
 * OpenMailbox
 * ProtonMail - A new mail service made as a response to NSA spying that is still in beta, so it will be long before your application is accepted. They admit that if you are in a life or death situation you're best off not using them.
