I've noticed more regular Gawker commenters over here after they switched, myself included. The tenor of Gawker has changed significantly with the burner accounts and I don't think for the better. Discussion really seems to be stifled now which is a shame as that's what I've loved about both Gawker and Jezebel. …

Um, that's just silly. It's great that your teenage son's respect you and all, but that doesn't mean other kids will. And quite frankly, if you're tired of "sob" stories in the media being leveraged into millions of dollars, take some personal responsibility and quit consuming it.

You're acting like child rearing is only done in the home and there are no outside influences. If respected individuals in our society such as elected public officials can demean other citizens to score political points what do you think that teaches children? You can talk until you're blue in the face, but the…

"It's not the politician's job to raise children. That starts at home."

During the health care debate, the mean spirited behavior many Americans displayed utterly appalled me. I mean what kind of person sneers at someone with Parkinson's Disease and throws dollars at him after he described his need for health care at at town hall meeting. This has become our daily discourse. I recently…

Why don't politicians possess this fear when they demean other American citizens who disagree with them?

Thank you. Where exactly did he think the whole No Homo mindset came from?

This isn't just about fat shaming an older woman on a limited income. This is about ganging up and demoralizing the wrong sort of person. The Governor of NJ's PR department put out a video on You Tube with him rolling up his sleeves strutting on stage while he demeans his constituents who disagree with him and he…

Clearly, you just don't love freedom ;)

What exactly are you trying to say? That you don't support my fight against tryanny of the nanny state fascist government of NY who refuses to allow me to keep my pet alligator in the bath tube of my NYC apartment? I feel so betrayed.

How exactly am I intimidating people? I usually enjoy your comments on animal rights SarahMC, but you've stepped off the deep end here. There are a lot of satisfactory punishments that the school administration can use to discipline these students. But bullying is only reinforced by so-called rational adults who…

You're part of the problem then. You're completely reinforcing mob mentality. Good job.

No, a lot of this is poor judgement and a lack of understanding of boundaries. Kids this age often go too far. That's where adults come into the situation. Unfortunately, we have too many adults, elected officials as a matter of fact, who dehumanize people as the other for their own gain. The behavior of these…

How many children do you let do your tax returns? How many children that age are allowed to drive? How many children are allowed to drink? Why are kids not allowed to do these things? Because they don't understand fully the consequences of their actions. This is why adults are responsible for kids because they…

Yes, it is because they're underage. We as a society have decided that children at this age whose brains are still growing are not able to always determine the consequences of their actions. Thus, adults are responsible for them. This is why you are not allowed to drive until a certain age. This is behind the…

Awesome, mob mentality in children reinforced by adults.

I can't watch the video because I'm at work, but there are several reasons why spreading their names all over the internet is a bad idea. And you really want to ruin the lives of middle schoolers? Yes, they do need to grow up because THEY'RE KIDS. Don't hold them to adult standards. Now, I agree they need to be…

Basically, you're saying you judge people for not having the same goals as you and aren't doing what you think will produce better results. Great, you are admittedly the side-eyer at the gym who doesn't follow the golden rule that it's none of your business whether someone else could be doing a lot more physically. …

I prefer to do yoga at home rather than take a class. One of my personal favorites is Elements Hatha and Flow Yoga for Beginners. I think I've paid $10 for it at Barnes & Nobles online. If you have a Netflix account, their fitness section is a good place to experiment with as well.

Can we cross reference this with the comment section of Gawker's I of the Tiger series for those who don't understand where all the side-eye judgments are taking place? Because I don't necessarily think it's the "oh look at the fat person on the treadmill" that makes people, particularly beginners, uncomfortable. …
