Considering the NSA illegally shared information, for purposes of political blackmail, with Israel, got caught spying on our allies (after we were super cereal about not doing…) got caught violating attorney client privilege, got caught physically installing backdoors on everyday consumer level products, has lost…

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…

SIDEBAR: Everyone seems so enchanted by the victimhood of having the Big Bad Internet Bullies out to get them that they cant see or admit that almost all of the criticsm is from longtime readers and commenters who are just completely disgusted by the post and, I think, even more disgusted by all the responses and…

Beautiful and heartfelt it may be, but entirely self-absorbed, just as its subject fittingly enough.

First of all, Craggs helped edit the piece. So that was something he had to answer for.

It’s funny that people think this is my way of demonstrating that we were besties; we were not. Tommy was a wonderful editor to work for, and he was hugely supportive of me.

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?

Casually destroying marriages is just good journalism, I hear.

Yes. You knew what the site was. You were looking to fuck married people. Marriage is hard enough without randos trying to mount your wife every time your back is turned. You were actively trying to fuck up someone else’s life.

You do realize there are dating sites for singles looking for other singles, right?

You mean young and single and looking to casually destroy a marriage. Harmless really.

wasn’t that the plan?
