I don't know what you're talking about because Paula Deen's sons say that Alec Baldwin IS NOT homophobic.

Not today, toothbrush.

The assumption that she's dumb just kills me. She speaks three languages - Spanish, Creole, AND English. But oh, her English isn't great, and she's a fat WoC - bring out the hairshirt and force her to wear it!

Unlike you principled conservatives who abandoned Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Rudy Guiliani, Rush Limbaugh, Henry Hyde, Bob Barr, President George HW Bush, and Arnold Schwarzeneger at the first sign of adultery. Ya'll are truly pillars of ethics and moral values.

Conservatives will forgive dismantling civil liberties if it gives them the illusion of safety.

All I have to say is, I think the use of that photograph for this article is in incredibly poor taste. There was no way for me to avoid seeing that, and it is something very triggering for me as a reader whose mother recently attempted suicide. Is it too much to ask that Jezebel prioritize the well-being of its

Has there ever been a Kickstarter to bring back Firefly? It definitely seems like a thing that lots of people could get behind and I'm actually kind of surprised that I've never heard of one.

"It's a little disrespectful to tell an editor you can write better than they can, even if it's just a headline. "

Writing an article that calls out another site for doing EXACTLY the same thing you do is such a hypocritical act that it absolutely deserves the reaction it's getting here and in several other threads.

Most of the time, yea totes. But in this case it really served a purpose. The criticism was constructive, and since they were happy to do it for free they should get a thanks. Criticism is okay, people! It improves the world when it's constructive. If everyone just accepted that most shit isn't personal the whole

Good for you! My opinion is that when an editor says she can't write something well because it's too hard and suggests no one else can do better, she deserves to be called on it, and that Gawkerverse runs on snark, so getting pissy about a snarky comment is pretty silly. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Yeah.... that's not even remotely what she was saying.

Exactly this. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I'm not at all proud of my ability to come up with headlines—I'm not very good at it, and the one I offered wasn't very good. It was just miles better than the version Jezebel actually chose to publish.

Eh, if you are going to write an article basically bashing the misleading title of another article, your title should not be misleading as well.

I'm kind of baffled as to where you're getting "hurling insults." I wrote a headline (after the author of the piece specifically suggested someone do so), then pointed out that it took very little time and that, unlike the author, no one is paying me to do it. It wasn't a commentary on how much better I am than the

Eh. I can see where you're getting smugheaded dickhead, but I also think "My job is really hard" is a terrible excuse, especially when it's for a problem Jezebel (and Gawker, to be fair) has all the fucking time. I also think when you follow up "My job is really hard," with "What, you think you could do better?" you

Yeah, I found this headline to be much more inflammatory than the xoJane one.

So just dismissing criticisms about how your website handled coverage of a 15-year-old girl's suicide attempt is completely fine? Your response really, really saddens and disappoints me. I thought that maybe you guys would take the criticism and do something constructive with it. I was apparently quite wrong.

I have made this comment 3-4 times now:
