Yes, Blocked.  Right after that comment. Right after Steven's direct address to him.

First you forced me to register, then you blocked me.  You could just send me an email telling me to fuck off.  You don't have to be pussies about it.

News is M.I. Wright gets blocked from posting on AV Club because Steven Hyden is sick of being teased about Dawes.

If they keep blocking commenters who make Dawes jokes (like M. I. Wright) it will go away as fast as you can say "valtrex"

Seriously, why should M. I. Wright be blocked?  BECAUSE OF DAWES JOKES (which are still a source of merriment, fyi)?

Nice one, Steven Hyden.  Right after I make that post as M.I. Wright, and you tell me that I live a depressing life, you guys fucking BLOCK M.I. Wright from posting comments.

It would have been a more magical exchange if:

Eh.  I think Chris Collinsworth is a fucking douchebag.

Cool. Story. Bro.

No.  I will not be a part of any agreement that Dawes is anything other than the greatest thing ever in the history of things.

I would love to try that.

Got it.  Oh, and I've always admired you West Coasters for that.  I love it when I'm in Vegas and I crack a beer and start watching the NFL at 10 AM in a casino sports book.

Navel crimes?  Sounds rather limited.

I thought Sunday Night Football and Football Night In America were the same thing.

Too many words to know for sure, but I suspect you've written a Cool. Story. Bro!

Reading what he said was like "Occupy my bunghole."

He's right.  He's a Senator, you know.

Buying gold.
