nah, most of the comments we see “ungrayed” are from commenters who have been permanently ungrayed by writers. sometimes comments from grays will be ungrayed by writers or ungrayed commenters. but color me skeptical that you’ve had “hundreds” of gray comments ungrayed, and I know that “voting” has nothing to do with…

well honestly dude it’s not “on a per comment basis” either, except to the extent that one good comment can (apparently) get you ungrayed. the way it works is one of the blog writers (Draper, for instance) has to ungray your whole account on the site. again, I don’t know how that happens other than I know that dummy…

as if gay marriage is a complex issue. sorry yr brain hurts.

as much as I disdain Hunter, I disdain Hawk as much (more???) and would love to see this clip.

this is a good point, but thankfully we don’t all just interact with our grandpas in public forums and public spaces. luckily our grandpas’ views aren’t broadcast across the country, to people who might be influenced by the fact they catch baseballs well. if all our xenophobic and homophobic grandpas were public…

dude, your original comment was amazing. super on point stuff. but a lot of us are in the grays (especially when our comments aren’t just dumb pun/jokes)...apparently begging to get out of the grays only works on friday chat days - try it then :)

no one was telling Torii he couldn’t spout his BS, all I said was that I found it cool when my buddy expressed his own opinion (which is backed up by the large majority of people in Minnesota). I do think Torii’s opinion is stupid, but that has nothing to do with how “open minded” my post was.

Minneapolis resident and guy who loves basketball & soccer here. I like going to Twins games to be outside chilling, and my good buddy - who is a HUGE Twins fan - yelled GREAT JOB HOMOPHOBE whenever Torii did something praiseworthy at twins games this year. The indignant looks he would get from Twins fans made my…

that wasn’t me who said the seizure thing, so take that complaint elsewhere.

dude, this should be obvious to anyone with a grasp of the english language but being reckless (ie, what drunk driving is) and having the purpose of killing (ie, “trying”) are completely different things. just because a drunk driver is responsible for any deaths their recklessness causes doesn’t mean they were…

then you wouldn’t know the definition of the word “trying”

Honestly, if you’d heard the catchphrase 100 times, I’d expect you to get it right.

EDIT: read the chart wrong, but in my defense I didn’t expect deadspin to link directly to a subscriber-only service... :/

I’m not trying to impress anyone. I’m trying - shocker - to actually communicate with you, to persuade you that using your time to call commenters on a Star Wars article “nerds” might be a bad use of your time, and might indicate that you’re headed down the road to being a sad and shallow person.

again, I’m not the one attempting to be provocative/insulting to gain attention at midnight on a Monday. I don’t care if anyone notices this comment, and you clearly desperately do. get a life dude. trolling’s not fun, and it’s not worth wasting your time doing.

I’m not the one insulting other commenters for no reason. Hope you are having fun wasting your time insulting people you’ll never meet and who will forget about you tomorrow.

it’s not your “trolling reputation,” it’s just your reputation. you sound like a 13 year old idiot in these comments.

have a merry christmas in the stars!

dude, your trolling is sad, just give it up. you sound like a dumber version of trump.
