Thanks for this.

If you don’t want people commenting on something, then don’t post it across a network of websites whose business model is premised on an active and often inflammatory comments section. Since when is Gawker Media or Kinja about what is wanted, needed, or pertinent? I don’t care about Albert Burneko’s family any more or…

I really hate this running theme in all of the Gawker posts about how all of the outside criticism is coming from MRA’s/Gamergaters/Generic Reddit Trolls. Even former writers like Adam Weinstein and Lindy West cant help but bring it up almost compulsively. Everyone seems so enchanted by the victimhood of having the…

yeah, this screenshot is a pretty weird thing to post when the aim is to show how good of buds you were...

So you only correspond every 6 months?
