Seeing how many people “didn’t want to take sides” drove me nuts.

Well that’s fucking gross.

Am I being hoodwinked here? I admittedly don’t know much about this situation because my job has kept me from regular, steady commenting during the week. But this person that I *think* you’re referring to responded to me in a different thread this week, attempting to explain themselves and say this is all some smear…

We HAD this years ago, and it worked well. It allowed commenters a link to the writers through insightful mods, some of whom eventually became contributors themselves.

Thank you for showing support to Short. This individual tends to abandon her burners as soon she starts crap and gets heat for being a hateful commenter.

I want to echo what MD wrote and encourage everyone to show Short some love. Short has been an important part of this community and watching her get bullied and suffering in silence has not been an easy thing to watch. I want to believe that many glanced at some of those comments but did not want to choose sides,…

Thank you for sharing this. I left a note.

It’s her personal blog so she’ll see everything you post.

Please pass on to shortpale, I am in the greys, I’ve left this message on the link you provided but not sure she will see where grey.

I don’t come bearing good news tonight Jezzies.

We should probably build a wall between us and Egypt, just to be safe.

This is the last place she should’ve had difficulty defending herself. Like MD, she asked Meteor to leave her alone and Meteor kept goading her. Imagine what people would think if MD and Short showed up in every thread defending their character? Most people don’t have the energy to mine Meteor’s comment history and…

If there was ever a person fit to infiltrate a community and destroy it, it’s Meteor. She’s very good at simultaneously making friends and enemies.

She was my fav commenter too. She was basically a mod for the greys. Jez doesn’t feel like a safe space without her here. And trust me, it won’t be long before Meteor finds a new target either. Meteor is going to chip away at this whole community until Meteor is the only one left and it sucks. There aren’t many…

On the list of reprehensibly deceptive things Sanders has done, comparing herself in any way with The West Wing is one of the most egregious and delusional.

I always loved when The West Wing would do their famous run-straight-at-you-and-talk scenes

Bradley Whitford is one of the good ones. In fact, he’d have voted for Obama for a third time if possible.

Damn it, I was hoping the headline meant Sarah Huckabee Sanders had released a video of herself doing “The Jackal.”

Pretty ambivalent about Twitter going to 280 characters, but tweets like this one make it look like a wise choice.

Ah, yes. “Black Twitter.” The real villains.
