That bums me out because we share personal stuff to humanize ourselves, understand each other and make sense of things. I hope after some time you don’t regret it because I’m sure it has helped more people than harmed. I know its hard but just say fuck it and fuck these pile-ons, lol. It happened yesterday to another…

Just start dismissing the negative comments. You apologized multiple times and don’t need this.

That function does not exist or I would. You can’t even edit after a few minutes.

Yes, Jezebel is fond of dogpiling when they get in the mood. I’m sorry to say you got them in the mood. It’s happened to all of us.

It happens all the time, and it’s largely dependent on how the comment system here works. In order to see additional comments, you have to reload the page...it doesn’t autoload comments. So people load the page, read the article and then see and respond to your comment, not realizing that other people have already…

Thanks. I really didn’t know how to handle it and definitely got defensive once the pile-on started. I really wish I could’ve just deleted the stupid comment.

Honestly you should just dismiss any pile-ons that came after your apology. That’s the best way to handle it. I totally get your frustration (outrage sometimes seems like the drug of choice around here) but getting angry at the pile-oners doesn’t make for good ... “optics,” haha.

Oh man, I detest pile-ons and people treating some comments/jokes like a crime. You made an apology and I would just ignore all the additional incoming two cents. Not everyone thinks the same...

This is a fucked up comment. There’s no reason to say this.

he knows everything better then anyone, he said he is in Mensa or he has Mersa

Well, hey. Trump may have a blank check to destroy this county for everyone who isn’t wealthy, white and male, but we can all take comfort in the fact that Mitch McConnell will push back against congressional term limits. He’s truly the hero we deserve.

This is modern day Nazi Germany in it’s infancy. We need to stamp it out before it gets too powerful.

Or straight up making them illegal because they cause “abortions” a la the Hobby Lobby decision.

Oh, look, these fuckers are trolling. DISMISS, BITCH.

I’m making my IUD appointment tomorrow. No baby #2 for us either. What a weird and sad consequence of the election.

And for the male readers out there… if you really know you don’t want children, now is an excellent time to consider a vasectomy.

Nope. Sanders did better with rust-belt voters. Nationally, he polled significantly higher against Trump than Hillary. All this talk about racism being the key factor is a bit elitist. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, blue collar voters gambled. They bet on the unknown of Trump versus what they viewed as “more…

I don’t know the answer to this anymore. It’s common for people to point to polls showing Sanders beating Trump. But the polls also showed Clinton beating Trump and they were all wrong.
