This... doesn't sound creepy at all. o.O

Interesting. Guess I'll check them out.

Nice! Are these really easy to find? I wouldn't mind trying one.

Do they actually taste good?

Though, you're forgetting that they have been in those mountains for some two decades. Before the US war effort in 2001, Osama Bin Laden and his followers were already well established in Afghanistan and the Pakistan border. They had not been messed with for years after Bill Clinton's attempts to kill Bin Laden. …

The Taliban and the extremely wealthy agents of Al Qaeda(such as the Saudi prince Osama Bin Laden) certainly did have the resources to build quite a system of caves. Though, those resources have definitely been harmed and limited now.

My gawd... it's full of vanilla -and- chocolate. o_o

I think we'd both be served by editors being held to a higher standard. It is absurd for them to make an article like this laying out standards for commenters without also providing standards for the editors.

I just think that a set of standards would be nice. I mean, almost all serious news sites have standards statements, but blogs have shied away from them. If Gizmodo wants to improve as a site, they should consider embracing some level of standards, as they certainly already believe in a standard for the commenting…

@Jimbotron: Agreed, and as with others, I hope you will not see swift wrath for pointing this out.

@OrbitalGun: heh. You would think that's how it works, but not really. If only such a thing were true...

@Polybius: I sometimes picture the editors as Baron Harkonnen letting the commenters know that "The tech news must flow!"

@OMG! British Dinosaur!: aw man, British Dino... what did you do? :(

@DanKrouse: Yeah, it really looks like you just caught him in a bad mood. Did you e-mail him about the exchange? I mean, I can see how he might initially think your comment was similar to a "how is this news?" comment, but when he said he stood corrected, I figured he would correct the destarring mistake. Sorry to…

@BrutishAcademic: Though Fake Jezuz is right in a sense, commenters also have an interesting status with the site. They are both inside and outside the working of the site. A large part of what sells the site is the commenting, and a community is fostered within the bounds of the site. This makes commenters…

@complextinction: From what I have seen, your best way to strongly disagree with an article is to e-mail the editor of the article directly.

@knightvash: I hope they won't just ban this new account of yours. It's very unfortunate that there is so little accountability for editor actions, and many editors seem to see no problem with acting however they like and ignoring any chance that they may be at fault. It's disappointing.

@Akrosii: Some good stars still exist, and a couple good stars have actually come about since the redesign. Sure we lost a ton of quality people, but some are still here. And now that the forums are back again on the front page and commenting seems to be working a little better, we may actually see a rise in…

@Sci-fi-Chic: Your best recourse in a scenario where an editor is appearing racist or bigoted is to e-mail them about it and possibly e-mail the head editor of the Gawker site in question. Posting on the articles about it will only cause trouble and get you de-starred or banned. Unfortunately, talking to them…

@alienpup: Doesn't look like you're banned. I'm guessing you're just experiencing what everyone else is. I've also seen posts disappear or not stick, but it's just how it is right now. Though, it seems to be a little better the last week or so.
