@Solomon Grundy: Debatably. Hopefully that'd be pretty fucking evident on the surface, you know? But when you start getting into standard deviations, you're placing a lot of faith in an imperfect test. I'd think school records, interviews, and psych evaluations would be more pertinent.

@Trai_Dep: Not as long as you leave room for the Holy Ghost.

@Solomon Grundy: The guy's a parole officer, so it's not exactly like his dreams have been dashed. Besides, testing well isn't exactly an indication of intelligence. Nor is IQ for that matter.

Yeah, because rehab's the kinda thing you can really just figure out on your own time, like whistling or how to braid your hair.

@fight_gravity: Oh, lord, that episode is divine. I, uh, mean the Homicide episode, of course. D'uh.

@Hana Maru: Look, you've got people comparing this guy to a mass murderer and joking (I hope) about lynching him on here. Maybe save some of your self-righteousness for their disproportionate reactions.

@Hana Maru: Good lord.

@Hana Maru: @KingCouth: Oh, I was never suggesting that he should be rewarded for poor behavior. I was remarking that, given the nature of internet posting, it will be easy enough for whatshisface to chalk up any criticism he gets via Jezebel as just more confirmation of his beliefs about "girls." (They're passive,…

@Spartanical: I wasn't be deliberately dense; I really didn't get what you were going for. (I find deliberately dense comments the most irksome and least helpful of all kinds of comments, so I don't make them on principle.)

@Spartanical: "the good old days," when vigilantism and violence were acceptable forms of justice? were probably not really great days for women, in general.

I'm sure being chastised and ridiculed by hundreds on a site called Jezebel is really going to have the desired effect of correcting his previously douchey behavior toward women.

@andBegorrah: ... minus, you know, death. Kind of a crucial difference.

@hagren: It doesn't seem like their net access is blocked, just monitored. And I'd definitely find it obnoxious if my boss was in a position to know if I was looking at JCrew or dinosaur comics during a coffee break while he was spending 20 hours a week on fucking Farmville. It's not the principle so much as the…

@KingSeafoam: Eh, not if she sent it to his boss.

@kevito: It's sarcasm expressed visually, dude. It's a joke.

@Akmatic: 1. If you'd read the whole sequence, you'd know it wasn't based on "heresay."

@PutTheKindleBack: I don't watch the show, but there's a difference between the content of your own memoir and covering the vagaries of a starlet's life as part of your professional duties for a news channel. Even a channel that shows 'Locked Up!'

@Seeräuber Jenny: Fair enough!

@Seeräuber Jenny: Okay, well, I guess we can agree to disagree. It's not exactly a pressing moral issue of the day. I just posted above that I think it comes off as passive-aggressive but I guess it's not intended as such by a lot of folks who use it. Whatever. I have other etiquette pet peeves I'd gripe about…

@jfpbookworm: doesn't that seem passive-aggressive, if the sender hasn't come out and asked directly that the recipient do x? that's my issue with it.
