What’d be terrific would be if you all here at Jezebel were interested in having actual conversations, with people with differing opinions. “The greys” on this website are filled with people that don’t conform to your very secure hive mind mentality, and challenge your thoughts, but instead of engaging them... you…

I’d argue that there’s very little speech that’s harmful. How do you measure the harm caused by speech? Can you give an example of “harmful” speech that you think should be subject to prior restraint or punishment by the state?

I mean AJ Daulerio was an innocent bystander just publishing what the world needed to see. Gawker Media should be proud he wouldn’t take down that video of the girl being sexually assaulted! They should be even prouder that they made money off of it!

aw someone is so offender their safe space isn’t so safe

It would be more accurate to say that Peter Thiel is starting his war on journalists, because you’d be hard-pressed to correctly identify anyone from the assorted collection of hacks that the former Gawker Media enabled as an actual journalist.

I thought Univision deliberately did not take on liabilities associated with Gawker, yet somehow you guys keep writing about it.

“by claiming the company routinely published “thinly sourced, nasty articles that attacked and mocked people.””

“War on Journalists”?

As much as I do not like the Catholic Church (that is a lot, by the way), and as badly as they’ve handled the sex abuse committed by its clergy, I don’t really find much fault in this particular action.

New York Archdiocese Will Compensate Sex Abuse Victims if They Relinquish Their Right to Sue

That’s pretty fucking rich. He can’t criticize someone because he’s made mistakes?

He’s not, he was asked a question and he answered it.

“Equality feels like discrimination” when yall will believe a woman’s claim with no proof but gladly condemn a dudes claim with the no proof. That’s fine, of course women need the benefit of the doubt given the systemic discrimination they’re gonna face. But if you say you’re doing it in the name of equality it’s…

who was, let’s not forget, married to his own second cousin for 14 years

I know ill proably get killed for this but isnt this kind of like what hillary did. She had classifed email going to her home server. I mean the guy didnt sell or leak the information. Maybe he just wanted to work from home. Ps i hate trump.

But why wouldn’t you tell her that, if you thought it might help her get the hell out of there? The death count in Haiti is over 100 and counting. Your friend COULD die.

Honestly, I think the opposite tends to happen on a larger scale — people think a weather event will be NBD and it ends up being utterly devastating (see Andrew, Katrina, Sandy).

No, they are forming tribunals that are determining guilt based on accusations. Rape is a criminal act, assault is a criminal act. Guilt should be determined in a court of law where both the accuser and accused have the legal right to give their testimony before a jury of their peers. The current climate on college…

Christie is a loathsome piece of shit, but I don’t think enough ink has been spilled (metaphorically) on just how massive of a turd Cuomo is as well.

God, it’d be great if this scandal took down both Christie and Cuomo
