Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you stood up to someone who’d repeatedly beaten the shit out of you and told you he’d kill you if you damaged his career? If you’ve actually done this, good for you, but it ought to give you some compassion for how terrifying that is, and some perspective about whose…

I wasn’t talking about Nicole Holder, I was talking about Kristina Laurence, but in your haste to blame the victim, you didn’t bother to read carefully. Holder was brutalized, and has every valid reason to fear for her life. It’s not her responsibility to control his behavior, it’s his. Why don’t you save some of your…

How do we know that this was done against the victim’s wishes? It may have been, but what’s your reason for being certain of that? I’m not arguing with you, necessarily — you may know something I don’t, I’m not very well versed about this case.

I’d just like to point out that Kristina Laurence is a goddamned hero. So is Diana Moskovitz, for that matter. But Laurence stood up and said no in the midst of a violent scene, put herself at considerable risk to do, and kept on insisting on telling the truth when it would have been much, much easier, not to mention…

Damn you, I was all happy that someone won a lawsuit against the L.A. Times and then you had to go and spoil it.

So you’re trying to claim that the only people who’ve used “bad tactics” are the anti-GG people? Seriously?

That explanation is the most mealymouthed, victim-blaming piece of horseshit I’ve seen in a while. You know what compromises a marketplace of ideas? When you reward people who threaten violence by silencing the people they’re threatening.

Or maybe she has no problem at all, except the knowledge that her husband literally doesn’t give a fuck whether or not she has any desire to have sex with him, and believes he has the right to force her to do so whether she wants it or not. That would pretty much turn me off forever, no further explanation necessary.

I think the photoshopped banners are meant as commentary, not as an accurate representation, although it would have made more sense to have put them last, rather than first.

Because that’s what the problem was. Not what the words were, but that they hadn’t appeared in the program. Here’s a tip: if the borderline racist comment is so dispensable that the scene it’s in gets edited out, it should never have been the title of the episode in the first place. Yeesh.

“I always grew up with the understanding that some people have kids in less than fully intended situations and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Something similar happened to me last night on Gawker. Ah, Kinja, your mysteries are manifold.

I have an evil sense of humor. I have been known to laugh at jokes connected with sensitive topics. But they’re not based on “Ha ha ha this guy is stalking his ex, whom he has brutalized in the past, and physically attacking anyone whom she chooses to be with because obviously she’s still his property, what a laugh…

How dare you joke about a serious matter like basketball coaching.

Thank you for having a shred of a clue. Actually, you have the whole clue, but a shred of one would be sufficient for anyone to know how fucked up this is.

Ever since I realized how much waste Swiffers cause, I couldn’t justify using them. I am now a HUGE Shark fan.

Keep an eye out for buses when crossing the street. This is my sage advice.

Oh. Well, yes, another strategy would be to focus on surviving long enough to have the problem you’re worrying about.

Well, check out the response from someone who had success with using a hair loss treatment.

I wish this surprised me. It makes me angry, but it doesn’t surprise me. Gah.
