Are you suggesting that umpires should be suspended for mistakes and games be replayed after a mistake is discovered? Or are you saying suspensions for malicious play that wasn’t called as such during the game is wrong? I’m confused at what you’re saying here.

Hi there! That reply is pretty much copy and pasted from a comment of mine earlier - the person you just replied to is the lunatic clown running around with a name very similar to mine, but I’m the “real” one here (feel free to compare our respective comment histories, or followers, for example.) If you’re lucky, you…

I don’t care for any of those denominations. But they’re all mandated reporters. and I've seen no argument.

Um, I don’t think that guy was defending Hardy. He was arguing that the NFL tried to basically suspend him for two years, and this year’s suspension got reduced. No one doubts that Hardy is a despicable person, and belongs in jail, but simple quoting the report doesn't actually address what the other guy said.

not exactly fair or accurate. they held him off the field for 15 games last year and tried another 10 this year.

The only problem with your point is that it makes sense, is reasonable, and demonstrates intelligence. All of those things are bad if you like the NRA.

Man, I’m sorry he’s having such a hard time being a goddamn sexual harasser. That must really fucking suck for him. I’d play some sad violin music for him, but I need an electron microscope to find one small enough.

Seriously? You forgot the line stating how this is about ethics in STEM journalism.

Do we get bonus, “And you’re just fucking wrong.” points by mentioning that I’m a physicist and geophysicist, hold a graduate degree in science, and hold a professional certification in science? That I’m a practicing geophysicist working contracts in government, industry, and academia on a yearly basis, while…

“You are the problem with our culture.”

What is he “spot on” about exactly? He didn’t even make an argument, Jones was the only one making actual points. I’ll logic chop it for you so you can at least die on a decent hill for your BS position.

Tanaga Island is one my favorite places. In 2004-06 I spent time there, during the summers, doing biological field work for the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The scenery, when not fogged in or blowing rain sideways as is the norm, is as amazing the pictures in this article show.

Missing the point here, dude. This guy’s sexual harrassment of coworkers has absolutely zero to do with what you’re talking about.

I like your university department.

There is a Michael Showalter stand up clip called The Apartment. In it, he describes finding his entries in his high school literary magazine (of which he was the editor also), and imitates his teenage self screaming “IM A WRITER! YEESSSSSSSS!” after each angsty sentence.I think of Jonathan Franzen every time I listen…

something along the lines of a Diet Coke?

It’s not THAT bad. I made it to 4 paragraphs and I only have cancer.

While I smart, he goes on: “I’m a poor person who has money.”

Hey J. Franz, turns out when you market yourself as the lone savior of literature but forget to be a halfway decent writer, there’s gonna be some backlash. How about that part where he says he feels feelings more intensely than the rest of us, because he’s a nooooooveliiiisssssst? What a douchebag.

Oh, so we don’t know how to read now? What is he even on about here, I bet he doesn’t know.
