Actually I know a few...but I work in Lebanon. It is a very different world. I know a few women who've gone this route — converting, marrying a stable (rich!) man, then wanting to get out after about 3-5 years. I hope this is really what Janet wants. Most women THINK it is, then discover...maybe not so much.

But wait, I thought non-N.A. people wearing hair feathers were committing the unforgivable sin of cultural appropriation? And that (per an enlightened Jez commenter from the Michelle Williams fiasco) N.A. people are the only people who can wear hair feathers, since they invented the whole concept in the first place.

They haven't actually decided on it yet, they're just proposing it as a resolution and they won't be voting on it until May 20th.

Threaded comments. That is all. Oh, and chronology helps. Fancy is fine for the blog posts; not so much for comments. Don't make it harder for us to interact with each other (and with you)!

I've been using Kinja over on Jalop for a little while now, and here are some problems as I see it:

Please respect the sanctity of the echo chamber.

The RtL scrolling action is bullshit. It discourages readers from getting to the bottom of the reading queue. Like this article demonstrates, all the Yes Men get bumped to the top.

And when I reply, like I'm doing to you right now, only YOU are getting a message saying you have a response, so none of the other people in this "discussion" even know there is another comment in the thread, unless they make it a point to come back to it. Amirite? How is that a discussion? I HATE That I don't know…

This new layout really blows. I hate it. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Gawker. Why hasn't this happened to Gawker yet? Is it going to happen to Gawker? WELL? Just let a bitch know and I'll boil up some lamb's blood for the editorial office's doors.

I'm intensely curious as to how many comments noting the completely broken comment system are "waiting approval" and have just been forgotten about. But yeah, keep on promoting the approving comments, admins.

I feel pointing out that the system is badly designed and that no one at Gawker is responding effectively to the many reasonable complaints about an unusable commenting system is, indeed, something of value.

That's because all the complaints are buried at the back of the queue, unread because no reasonable person wants to click 50 times to simply scan through discussions with this just plain stupid two-column system, or simply not approved.

1.) GIANT pictures means scrolling through this page at work is a no-no.

I just sent in a tip to the staff. In essence it says that it would be best if all the bugs were worked out before making a changeover. I also noted that this layout has all the charm of an ER operating room. If this change is because of the spam comments, well let's just say that I would much rather have them than…

Right. How is it a discussion if entire thing is in a long column where you're never sure who is talking to who? (Especially with the name of the reply being in tiny gray text on a slightly paler gray background.)

You are both absolutely right, but I have no idea who I'm actually commenting to with this new system. I am finding it much more difficult to engage in conversation with people. And I have no idea how to tell if people respond to my comments other than backtracking to each one.

I want to like it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to see if people are responding to my comments. That little red number that used to be at the top right hand corner....is that replaced by anything? Do I have to manually check each comment to see if there are responses? Plus, I'm having trouble keeping…

Seriously, there are people who LIKE this broken comment system? Where you have to click sideways to read more than two fucking comments? Fuck that noise. This is one of the dumbest design decisions I've seen in a while and it's obvious Gawker did zero testing on this with actual users. It's a perfect example of…

I misunderstood this and thought they found moose in with the pork and got all outraged because moose are awesome. But then it turns out they wanted to eat moose and NOT pork. Ikea continues to confuse me. Better give 'em a call

MOOSE LASAGNA. O Sweden, U so crazy.
