The only notion I’m trying to push is that either it is always wrong to air someone’s dirty laundry or it’s never okay. Your distinction on who qualifies to have it done to them is a completely arbitrary standard; and just because it’s been around forever doesn’t make it any less arbitrary. In today’s world every one…

Then why can’t the same be said about C level executives? Where is the line drawn between a public person and a private person? If you have a facebook doesn’t that make you with full knowledge that you will now be a public citizen whose personal lives are open to full scrutiny, or youtube, or any other public forum?…

Funny how you would claim it doesn’t since the National Enquirer was accepted into the Pulitzer Prize competition for the John Edwards affair outing. When does one magically become a private citizen? The Grindr minister fits you definition; ph but you don’t like his politics then that fair game. Face it, all outings…

The National Enquirer does the same thing; it arbitraily “invokes core protections of journalistic freedom every time they right and defend” their bullshit. Plus it’s not like Gawker is the first to write political hit peaces and hide behind jounralism. MSNBC, ABC, CBS, FOX News, even CNN have indulged in petty…

Claiming what Gawker does is journalism is hilarious. You’re honestly going to make an argument about journalistic ethics when it come to Gawker, with a straight face? Gawker a site that has articles dedicated to Jared Leto’s penis? This is the “Bastion of Journalism” you’re honestly self-righteously moralizing about?…

Unequivocally, No, I see no problem with a blog that stands by LBGT “pride” outing someone who works for a competitor based on rumor and innuendo. If I didn’t have a problem the hundreds of times they’ve done terrible things before; more specifically as example the time they mocked the addiction, depression, and death…

If there is no investigation then there is no crime. I prefer innocent until proven guilty. Funny how to you and your ilk refuse to wait for all the facts to come out.

If anything illegal happened why is there no criminal investigation; where is the criminal complaint?

Irrelevant; either it’s okay to our people or it’s not. Either it’s okay to our anyone or everyone or it’s never okay. You can’t pick and choose who you out just because you dislike their politics. If Geitner was being blackmailed where’s the criminal investigation? Where is the criminal complaint?

Hell; when Erik Rhodes, who was constantly reported on in connection to Mark Jacobs’s, died and Gawker mocked his death no one even batted an eye.

One C levels are by default public figures. Two HOw is this different than any of the hundred outings of republican’s? If outing is wrong it’s always wrong we can’t pick and choose. Three a source brought a story to them; how is this any different than all the tricks who failed to blackmail republicans then took their…

Bingo; you get a Kewpie Doll

You can make the same argument for every republican that was outed by a trick; also no criminal investigation has been anounced if anything illegal had happened why is there no investigation?

So is every fashion designer banging a porn star; no outrage when they get reported on and their dirty laundry aired.

Multimillianire C level trying to hook up with a trick, why was there outrage? Seriously how is it any different than any of the dozens of times Gawker has gone after rich people and their dirty sex lives?

Why do you support the violation of privacy of private citizens; how do you know that these people don’t have open relationships; why do you want to ruin people’s families?

It is so terrible that private citizens privacy is being violated; it would be different if they were a hypocritical politician but this is just toooo far. People’s privacy shouldn’t be violated just because you don’t like them.

Why do you hate free speech?

The removal of the Geitner article is a true blow against the right to free speech on the internet these are dark times.
