Awww...it’s been a few years sadly but here is my old dog plotting bath time related revenge. He used to refuse all pats for a good two hours after the indignity of baths.

Maybe I am just wired differently but I can’t imagine exacting joy from making people yell at me online. It’s just... odd.

That was the ABSOLUTE worst — so much profanity, so much badmouthing of any thinking person’s viewpoints.
think it may have been a legendary one called “tomatobrain: or something have heard others rumble about?

- the only thing to do is dismiss/flag/ignore.

HillaryForEternalDictator is...quite something. S/he has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence.

Yes! That is Otis. He is a beagle/yellow lab/God knows what else rescue. We love the fur off of that boy! Tonight I put the Grinch doggie antler on him and he was so offended. Here is otis, in all of his pissed offness.

I agree with the others who are saying cross-posting. But I also wondered whether it was because of all the people who left after that article that got so many people upset (and a bunch of commenters greyed) - maybe it shifted the balance? (Though I notice that at least once regular commenter who said bye-bye is still…

Congrats to you! I am currently procrastinating both. Everyone gets a giftcard and a B+ for Christmas!

moriarty’s ringtone left? For good?

It kills me that the dicks are out of the greys and yet, here I sit week after week. How are they not banhammered?

I’ve noticed more cross posting of Jezebel articles on Gawker...I think the calls may be coming from inside the website conglomerate.

Yes- I think people don’t understand that you can poke fun at someone, even criticize their actions, and still have genuine sympathy for them when they are suffering. Kristin isn’t suffering because of 500 DoK. She is suffering from grief right now, and it would be innapropriate for the same series to report on…

EXACTLY. You can’t be a 500DoK regular without developing a kind of fondness for her, because loving it requires defending its existence, and it cannot exist without Kristin. To love Kristin is to not ignore her, and the fact that people think the inherent absurdity is somehow a personal slam are looking to be upset…

Snark is not cruelty. Commentary on the vicissitudes of fame requires examination of the famous.

I appreciate your inquiry. It’s an inside joke.

Not sure I would’ve filed Michael Cavallari’s death under ‘dirt bag’

I’m so sorry for your loss. And cosigned. The horror of sudden death is hard enough, but dealing with it under a media microscope must be overwhelming.

Sorry, it’s not. She very suddenly went from being a well deserved symbol of snark to a realized person with a horrible tragedy. This IS going to be interesting and I have faith in the commentariat to rally around her. Gawker commentariat is not heartless; Kristin is like our goofy slightly stupid youngest sister that…

I may have done a little cheer when I heard the Mail Kimp ad return.

She’s SO delighted to say “hey, yep, me chatting with the Taliban, NBD!” It was great and my favorite line to come out of Serial since “Mail Kimp.”

Yeah, or what about Radio Lab which is essentially TAL on PCP?
