Crosser and La Migra start a small comment storm on Ars Technica

Ben Kuchera wrote a skeptical appraisal of the rhetorical power of videogames for Ars Technica using Crosser as his starting point:

We are very grateful for the attention, and are impressed by the scope and the passion of the commentary, which spread to other blogs: On the Evil Avatar forums, one commenter invoked Les Miserables, which immediately made me feel unworthy

This all happened more than a year ago, immediately after the piece by Anna Gorman in the LA Times. I was in Colombia, visiting family and didn't follow the reverberations. They only recently came to my attention.
