I watched wondering how a story apparently written by a suburban, upper-middle class 15-year-old girl could even get produced. Just…just awful. So I looked it up. Ah…Pitch Perfect, and a tie to Tina Fey. If teenage girls like Girlboss, super. But please stop mentioning sullying 30 Rock by connecting this crap to it,

You screwed up a friendship along the way, didn't you? Ouch.

You still haven't answered my question.
You don't know where I work. Would you like to meet my boss? She'd just loooove you.
The cops blow off allegations, so don't do anything? Is that your solution?
Kid? I just turned 51.
Google what to do if a victim says she/he doesn't want help. It's really easy.
What is this

You still haven't answered my question.

You still haven't answered my question.

You're cute when you're running backwards like that.

Is that all ya got? Ok, where did I say there was a "quick fix?" I'm saying do something, even if your friend gets pissed at you. It might not be "quick" or easy, but do SOMEthing. If you're more worried about hurting your friendship by "disregarding your friends' wishes" than you are of the friend getting hurt, well,

Oh, I see what the problem here is. You don't understand the basic concept of breaking the cycle of domestic violence.

So you'd rather let them suffer? Nice. Siezing the moral high ground on that one, aren't you? It doesn't help anyone, but it keep you free of blame. The friend comes to you and says, "He said he's going to beat the shit out of me. I'm scared. But don't tell anyone." You say, "As you wish." And when that friend comes

And what is my attitude here? I'm telling Don to actually do something to help his friends - you know, something besides posting allegations about Metzger. So you think my attitude of actually trying to solve the problem would drive people away?

I've never known a women who was being threatened, so…

Now that's funny.

If everyone knew that this person hasn't been tried, much less found guilty, I doubt Metzger would have been compelled to throw his hissy fit.

You present yourself as a comedy insider, and talk about your big list of Metzger's victims, these friendships you so cherish that you're willing to go out on a limb and post about them on an online forum. If that ain't super-heroic, well, I don't know what is. You clearly have their best interests in mind, to put

I see you can't answer the question of how to protect your friends from the evils of the business. That's sad. I suggest they let you go.

I'm not big Donny Showbiz. It's your job and your responsibility to protect these artists, your friends. You can't figure out how to do that, so instead you come here and slam Metzger with unprovable allegations. How brave.

That you would pick Banford over any of the male comedians who are more popular than she (MB) is just made me curious if there's a "women aren't funny" or at least "aren't as funny as men" thing going on in there, ala Belushi, Lewis, etc. It's just weird - I've never met anyone who puts Bamford that high - that's all.

Yes.

Have you told the police?

I'm wondering why, of all the comedians on your top 10 list, you chose Bamford to compare to Schumer? When I mentioned my big list, my first thought was Hannibal Burress buries Schumer (and Bamford), as do Louis CK, Oswalt, Hicks, Cross, Berbiglia. And that's just the stand-up comedians, and only "active" ones (not
