Can’t take the Entourage smarm out of Piven at this point...

It’s so encouraging to run across your post. I assigned my class (of graduate students!) Berger’s “Why Look at Animals?” and it’s taken them literally the whole semester to grapple with it. I swear by Berger’s observational histories and even his experiment writing...so, just...thanks.

Oh, and now mobbing. Nice. You’re a real piece of work. Stalk much in real life?

It actually wasn’t at all, which is why I prefaced it by saying that I am indeed qualified to speak about the conduct of someone in academia. It’s too bad you are so threatened by comments that simply reflect different experiences, or as is more likely the case, opinions, than your own.

See my additional response above to that cocopuffs person.

I’m sorry, you’re not replying to me, but I must disagree. You’ve discussed your rich and varied employment background from time to time but as far as I recall you are not in academia, so you are not in a position to assess the type of horrible, corrosive effect someone like Ladyology has not just on Jezebel but on…

I prefer the term “contrarian.” ;) Thanks for beginning this discussion, it’s clearing the air in some respects, I hope. About lots of things I mean.

Exactly. If race baiting were what I was doing, it would not be trolling, it would be racism. You seem to be having difficulty with the definition, so here is a helpful and succinct one from the urban dictionary. (also here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter…).

You do not know what trolling means. You are literally the stupidest person I have ever encountered here, and that’s saying something. I didn’t say anything about prostitution - sorry, I’m not a third waver, so the cutesy ‘sex worker’ terminology doesn’t fly – you keep bringing it up.

Well, I think we have a little bit different definition of “troll,” which I do not define simply as an obnoxious person/person who disagrees with me on the Internet. Look at the Tomato Troll on Gawker...trolling is more about making specious but possibly serious posts in the interest of eliciting a reaction...it’s…

They need work visas to WORK in the U.S., you fucking moron, which what the story clearly says they were here to do!

Yes, that’s the definition of trolling, someone telling you facts on the internet. And indeed, you are not being obtuse, directly taking this opportunity to mention our Asian mail order hot wife. We get it. Tell her to have her passport in her hand and her stuff in plastic baggies and her hand luggage open and…

What you could do to improve the reader experience all around is to post less. For me, not at all would be fine – you, Mindymoo, Yoga Nerd, etc. have exceeded a lifetime’s worth of posts. Ideally Gawker will ditch Kinja at some point and limit the number of posts people can make, allow users to block certain posts…

I’m not sure who you mean by “you” since I am a worker on a well, worker’s, visa. The fact that your wife was harassed, and that one person told her this was common, however unpleasant the experience was, does not elevate your anecdote to the statistical.

1. Do you think I post too much? Should I dial it back to give other people more room to thrive?

It totally is. And we don’t even have Ladyology, Dr. Mrs. the Monarch, or Yoga Nerd MD yet tonight...

And many mansplainers on Jezebel have taken up gaysplaining on Gawker. I’m sure you’ve noticed.

Forget about the fact that Koreans are part of the visa waiver program....

Nope. Sex work = paid rape.

That’s a cool story about infidelity, bro.
