Is it poor decision making skills on his part or ignorance on our parts? Why must we be silent and sterile 24/7 because someone, somewhere, might get outraged over what we say - even if that isn't our intentions? It rankles me, actually.

Actually, while you're calling for blood it may simply be Orth was trolling Heir. I'd hate it if whatever company you work for fired you because you posted a comment calling for Orth's job. And before you call it ridiculous, Facebook pages have been established to demolish people for less.

You accuse others of looking really stupid yet you continue to tilt at windmills. Are you convinced your opinion is the correct one or are you simply refusing to view things "from the other side" because your feelings are being challenged by others?

Just a small opinion, but I'll share it. I played Dishonored and my objective was Clean Hands - not killing a single enemy and finishing the game.

This illustrates the difficulty of the internet and an always on-line presence. If you work for Company X, you cannot, under any circumstances, say anything off-balance because someone will copy and paste the best parts, post it , and then accuse you of speaking publically or hinting that it is the opinion of Company…

TechnoBuffalo is running an update that Adam was just "trolling" Manveer.

In Jezebel's defense, a lot of Republicans say really stupid shit in regards to contraceptives and abortion in general. While they may not be as bad as Jezeies make them out to be, it still is pretty stupid of them to try to tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies.

This is definitely a good thing. I just hope it doesn't languish in appeals court for a decade.

You aren't alone in noticing. You'll receive comments on how this is an Apples to Oranges comparison and then be educated as to why you're stupid for bringing it up.

Dear Microsoft. I am lending my voice to my fellow gamers. I've been a primary Xbox gamer for close to a decade. Though I do own the Ps2, 3, and the Wii, plus being a PC gamer, I always boot up my Xbox and play online with my friends. I pay for your gold services and stridently defend Xbox Live to the unwashed…

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for the tip! I also assume my problem with silence might be the voices.

And you can oligobble down their balls? /hehe

Silence bugs me, a lot. Maybe it's the faint tinnitus I have, but I need some low background level of noise. Not chatter, mind you. I, too, use headphones to drown that out. But music or a fan is necessary for me.

Was it how you asked? I fully expect the majority of my comments to be deleted on Jezebel but it doesn't stop me from asking. But I'm definitely not trying to be inflammatory.

Thank you.

See, that's my problem. I'm so damned priviledged and white I never bothered to think a person as "tainted" if they had a drop or not. I'm just clinically curious as to the behavior.

I'm just ignorant, victim of priviledge, but I never see anyone bi-racial identify as being white, they always indentify with being black.

Hm. I like Urban Dictionary's definition of racism vs prejudiceness:

You definitely echo my feelings, yes.

In regards to point b, I can understand having to do it because the recipients expect it, but in the same vein as what I said earlier, that says a lot about them, as well. That's my cynicism showing.
