Slog - Comments on About Those Slogging Rights We're Auctioning Off http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/about_those_slogging_rights_were_auction The Slogging rights we're currently auctioning off are the same rights all editorial staffers and a few freelancers enjoy and the same editing rules apply to the winning bidder. All Slog posts are subject to editing, we reserve the right to edit or yank posts. So while we're auctioning off this item in good faith--and to raise money for charity (because once a year we do something nice)--we're not going to allow the winner to hijack Slog anymore than we would allow one staffer to hijack Slog. The winner doesn't have to like us--it would be more interesting if someone...

My first act would be to turn on the commenting on the missing snowboarder post.

Adding caveats to something already running for $405 is a little taboo..

That would be great. Too bad that guy who took out the full-page rant ads died, I'd love to see him posting on Slog. For about a minute, anyway.

You seem to favor hairless young, some seem really young, men.

Maybe I will make posters and put them on City Light poles late at night instead.

Dan Savage, hypocrite maximus.

What an ass. He calls everyone a jackass, dickhead, asshole etc. But the one time anyone gets a true opportunity...for charity!...to do payback...he sets some rules. Can't trash Dan or the short guy.

Grow up.

Bullshit.

With grammar skills like yours, Savage, the editing should be a real joy to behold.

someone WHO didn't. Persons are not things.
