Nice! I'm happy to have helped put a few bucks in your pocket. And when Poe realizes he gave you like 20 bucks, his head's gonna explode.

Reproduction in moray eels begins with a courtship ritual in the summer months when the water is warmest. Opening their mouths very wide at each other signals the start of this process. Morays will then wrap their bodies around each other for hours. Once the female lays her eggs and the male fertilizes them, the pair leaves one another.

I'm trying to think of anything that could be had for $200 that could cause anyone's heads to explode with RAGE that they have been outmaneuvered.

I can't right now. But I'm sure something will come up.

I hope someone is very carefully documenting the various dynamics afoot here. Even if this wasn't hatched as some grand Sloggian experiment, it sure as hell has become one.

I find it pretty funny that the abuse was so bad that she left, but now that someone is paying her to stay she thinks she's won something or has something over us.

That'd be like a rape victim celebrating a civil court victory that is paid for by state

What are you, 14 already? Come on. NOBODY seriously thinks we really MEAN much of what we post, do they? It's the WWE of the internet, staged for your enjoyment.

Get a thicker skin. Learn to laugh at yourself. Everybody else is, why not join in?

On SLOG, I might tell you where to go. In real life, I'd probably just offer you a map. And if people are correcting your spelling/grammar, maybe you should take that as a learning experience to make you a better writer.

The point of the post was to show us a vaginal landing field? Well played. The only way you could "win" harder would be to make it smell-o-vision or snatch scratch-and-sniff.

And it's too late for you to make money. You said you were going away earlier. Please do. I'd even send you a dollar.

Bleck.

Original over-the-top insulting & cruel comments: Lame. Offended party suggesting that rudeness should get commenters banned, then later self-righteously bragging about how she got an important discussion on the State of Slog Comments going: Super-lame.

I'd say it was a tie, except I predict that only the latter is going to lead to a long-lasting and annoying dialogue.

@55,

And why exactly is it her responsibility to be a role model for other women? Why do you flip out anytime a woman fails to measure up to your expectations? Are you as harsh and judgmental to men or are we special?

you're right kesh, it isn't her responsibility to be anything but what her actions show her to be.

@63,

Not after you have already repeatedly implied that any woman being herself reflects badly on women in general or serves as a bad role model for women. Try proving that you're not a sexist asshole for once.

Posted by keshmeshi | June 13, 2008 5:46 PM

Posted by leek | June 13, 2008 5:46 PM

reflects badly on women in general or sets a bad example for other women to follow? read what I said, not what you think i said, if at all possible.

Posted by Bellevue Ave | June 13, 2008 5:47 PM
72

and if being herself constitutes getting in a huff over what people say to her and leaving a blog only to be bribed back, then yes, it is a bad example for other women, men, geese, anyone to follow.

being easily bribed on a matter of principle and integrity is not a desirable trait.

thus endeth the lesson

So many thoughts...

1) trading insults with strangers has never been my idea of a good time

Don't you get it? You don't have to "trade" insults. That is boring. Use your tiny little pea brain and figure out how to zing them intelligently (selling out to sympathy money doesn't count).

2) Abby @ 10: I haven't won a trophy since I was on a soccer team that gave everyone a trophy at the end of the year

So, in other words, your soccer team always lost?

3) Dan @ 30: Has anyone let Chelsea know she can post something to Slog and turn the comments off

Dude, that is the pussy way out. Unless you're posting something totally emotional, you gotta let the comments fly.

Finally, everytime someone gets their wittle feelings hurt on The Slog, people start calling for registering. Well, once again, I gotta say, "FUCK THAT!"

That is all.

Chelsea Alvarez-Bell,

Bellevue, stop being so dramatic!
Chelsea did not let you win anything. She is basically saying she does not care anymore and that is not a victim mentality!

Don't deceive yourself into thinking you have any power. You're just a dweeb sitting at a computer arguing with women you don't know. You're actually kind of sad and weak but you go and enjoy your little perceived victory.

GODDAMNIT! I keep having more thoughts after I post. This is the last one, I promise...

Posted by Mike in MO | June 13, 2008 6:00 PM
81

I've finally figured it out.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't this disclose a MAJOR, SEVERE conflict of interest between publisher and columnist?

"Tim Keck was disappointed that I was quitting, and that he would like to up the ante. One dollar for every comment on ‘Fuck This, I’m Out’ posted before 4 pm… if I was willing to write about how I spent the money..."

Where I went to journalism school, this would have been a MAJOR, MAJOR no-no. Especially accepting cash for personal gain, not to mention bragging about it. Not to mention the unnecessary four-letter words that were only thrown in to seem "hip."

Well, that was fun.

234 comments on a single Slog post has got to be some sort of record. And you got us that nice mention on Gawker. And thanks to Tim Keck, Mr. Poe's insults have been twisted in to your personal financial gain. I'm not sure what the moral of this story is, but on some strange level I'm very impressed.

Posted by Hernandez | June 13, 2008 6:18 PM

@81 - She's not a journalist. She's a guest blogger.

And journalists get paid, anyway. I must have missed your point.

Did you just bring up journalism school on Slog? Seriously?

Yeah, well, when I was in music school I was told to sit up straight and make sure each note was played with a full tone in precise rhythm. But I'm not exactly shouting that out at Neumo's on a Saturday night.

Journalism School?

Posted by Highland | June 13, 2008 6:22 PM

The ladies, they are borderline crazy. It is because of the menses. If they do not have someone to engage in the physical act of love with, they waste their eggs and that makes them more than a little mad.

Get yourself a nice husband and a nice house, pretty lady. You will not miss this sloggingness when you have a house full of babies and one on the way. It is God's wish for us.

Man, too bad you didn't think of this idea BEFORE you made the original post. Because then I think you would've earned some respect from the trolls for making a buck off your cool understanding of how best to inflame them into putting money into your pocket. Punk'd!

As it stands, though, I kinda think it's mostly just sad. Especially because you seem proud of how it all turned out today -- like you've accomplished something grand by quitting and then being bribed to stay out of pity over your hurt feelings. $200, hmmm? Way to go? I guess?

I'd suggest turning the comments off when you post about how you spend your new dough -- if that's something you can do here. If you can't take the heat. . .

#84: Then don't present her as a journalist. It's that simple. And don't pay her if, as you say, she's not a journalist. And she shouldn't take bribes from the publisher.

@85: I fail to see what honesty in reporting has to do with band.

@86:

You should follow Charles' lead and just not read the comments. I always thought the Sloggers were paid by the comment.

Posted by Wolf | June 13, 2008 6:53 PM
93

Wolf, I'm sorry, you're completely high.

For starters, "news" is not the same thing as "journalism".

Is someone who writes an article for Atlantic Monthly a journalist? Yes. Do they get paid for it? Yes, yes they do. Does it have anything to do with "news"? Sometimes, sometimes not.

A blog post on a blog run by a periodical is journalism. It just is. It doesn't matter if it's good; it's still journalism. It doesn't matter if it's factual; it's still journalism. It doesn't matter if it's professionally done; it's still journalism.

Opinion pieces are journalism. Humor pieces are journalism. I can't believe that your journalism classes at Columbia didn't at least touch on Mark Twain, H. L. Mencken, Robert Benchley, et cetera. Is Chelsea Alvarez-Bell up to the standard of Mencken? No, I'd say probably not. But she IS engaging in the same profession: writing pieces for publication AND GETTING PAID FOR IT.

From the outside, silly bitches look like mean bitches. The words are the same. Bullies always think they are funny, and they are funny to thier toadies. Any I don't buy this "I'm a much better person off the interntet" The kind of people who use the anonimity online to behave differently, are just being more truely themselves when online. The in-person, and more socially accountable persona is the character they assume when someone is watching.

Know what's really really lame? When you throw a tantrum, say you're leaving, and then don't follow through on it. Then you just look like some attention-starved 10-year-old brat. You seem to be under the impression that you have been unfairly attacked by people reading this blog. Unfortunately, you're wrong. The majority of people who read Stranger expect more from it than the banal ramblings of a 13-year-old mind, and that's all you've provided. I'm sorry that you're not good enough, but I don't need to make you "feel good" about yourself. That's what therapists are for.

In short, go jump off the aurora bridge and let me know if they've installed the net yet.

Thanks,

I first realized I was a Delphinic Zoophile when I was 12 years old, which is when I had my first sexual encounter with a dolphin. This is not that particular occasion, since my first lover was brutally killed in an act of sensless violence that I will never forgive, or forget. She continues to live in my memories, though...

I volunteer with dolphins whenever I get the opportunity. They are special to me, highly intelligent, empathic creatures that are dear to my heart, and are a healing aspect in my life. So it was that I met this particular dolphin, a female bottle nose dolphin, 7 years old, who is residing at my home cities coastal harbour/aquarium.

She is a beautiful dolphin, inquisitive and playful, and more used to human contact than her other, older pod mates. I answer any questions the general public have about dolphins, and spend most of my free time with them, studying and talking with them. I learned through continued contact that each dolphin has a very particular personality and habits, traits useful for differentiating between the fins who are sometimes hard to distinguish on visual markings alone.

In order to avoid the bustle tourists, I usually visit the dolphins at night, illegally I must add, since I am considered to be trespassing. But it is the only time I do not have to be distracted by tourists or the staff. I do not expect to have sex with the dolphins every time I visit them; I am not that sort of person. I spend time with them because they are a relaxing and stabilizing source of peace in an otherwise hectic and unbalanced lifestyle. So it came as a pleasant surprise when this 7-year-old dolphin began to engage in sex-play with me.

I was quite happily swimming around with the dolphins when she suddenly decided to grab my foot with her genital slit. Dolphins have very muscular vaginal orifices, and can use these muscles to manipulate objects and carry them. I stayed still for a while, to see if she was just playing, but she continued to masturbate against my foot, and in the light of the torch I sometimes carry, I could see that her slit had become very pink and had swelled as well. She was aroused!

So, I started to back-paddle with my hands towards a small beached area, partially submerged in the water. A couple of times she pulled me forward into the deeper water, but eventually I got my self to the shallows. I dislodged my foot (Being careful not to pull too hard), and took her gently by a pectoral fin and rubbed her belly just to aclimatize her, I guess. She immediately rolled belly up and started doing pelvic thrusts against the palm of my hand. It was unmistakebly erotic, and by now I was fully aroused.

I stripped off my shorts, and gently pulled her into the shallows until she was lying on her side, her belly facing towards me, half submerged in the water. I nestled myself belly to belly against her, and pressed my member against her genital slit. She immediately arched her body against mine, and took me inside her body, initiating a quick series of muscular contractions with her vaginal muscles. I wrapped my left arm around her body and just held her close while she manipulated me inside her body, until I climaxed barely 2 minutes later. Surprisingly, her body also shuddered against mine, and we spent the next 5 or so minutes just lying together in the shallows, holding each other, enjoying our company and revelling in the fact that we had shared something special together, something very few people can claim to have done.

I do not brag about this though. It is not something you can brag about, since it not only is demeaning to the act, but it destroys the purpose of the act as well; to express affection, and trust. I only consent to those dolphins who ask. As a result, I have mated only three times. Each time was memorable and special, because each time it was something we both wanted to share with each other. Sex, for me, is just another, albeit powerful, expression of affection and trust. I wouldn't engage any other animal, though; it is not my attraction. But there is little I wouldn't do for a dolphin.

I am aware there are people who would look at this and turn away in disgust. I can not force my beliefs or my feelings upon them, neither do I wish to. The only thing I ask of those people is that they try to understand that love, and trust, and respect are not limited to within a single species. Human kind has created religions and laws and barbed-wire fences that have been created, written and erected out of the former belief that we are the best, the smartest, the most powerful creature on the planet. Now we are realising that we have been extremely short sighted; many of us are realising this, but there are others who are bound by their former beliefs. One word is the key to improving our civilization. One word which could improve many lives.

Understanding.
My life is now dedicated to understanding dolphin kind. The way they act, the way they communicate, the reasons why a completely wild animal would take any interest what so ever in humans, a very dangerous wild animal. These may be answers that I may not answer in my lifetime, but this is a path that has been layed by a special dolphin who taught me more about love and trust in one week than any human taught me in my entire life. A path that I hope others will choose to also tread with me, towards a pool of knowlegde where dolphins and humans can interact with one another, and learn a great many secrets.

Oh Chelsea, I hardly know where to begin, but to say I'm disappointed at your sudden recapitulation would be a gross understatement.

And not for myself, mind you. You've fallen for Mr. Keck's offer hook, line, and sinker. I truly hope you feel the amount of pocket change he's offered you in exchange for whatever was left of your integrity was worth it - it certainly looks like a pretty bauble, but I seriously doubt either it, or the pittance you'll receive will ultimately be worth the price of your self-respect.

To be blunt: what are you now, but a common prostitute? You couldn't handle the wrath, ire, and vitriol of the Commentors when you had nothing at stake but your own sense of purpose and self-worth, but as soon as someone waggles a bit of filthy luchre in your direction, you SUDDENLY find strength and renewed vigor to press on? To paraphrase a (possibly apocryphal) quote by the late Winston Churchill: "We've already established what you are, Madame, now we're merely haggling over the price".

And don't even get me started on the rather unfortunate precedent this sets. Are you prepared Mr. Keck, to make similar offers of financial remuneration to the next guest? And the one after that? If I were in their shoes, I'd certainly hold out for more than a couple hundred; clearly there's a lucrative trade in being a guest SLOGer. Freaky Fridays are going to be a rather EXPENSIVE proposition from here on out would be my guess.

Sad, truly sad. All the way around.

It is only Chelsea who stands strong with us against terrorism in the middle East and the time has come for the Stranger and the entire Jewish community to stand strong with Chelsea.

QA) What is Zoophilia?

AA) Zoophilia is best described as a love of animals so intimate that the person (and the animal) involved have no objections to expressing their affection for each other in the sexual fashion. This is not to be confused with bestiality, where a person forcefully mates an animal, without their consent, and with no mutual feelings whatsoever. This is something that I would never do to a dolphin, since I love them dearly, and treat them with the same respect that an honest husband would have for his wife and children.

QB) Why Dolphins?

AB) Dolphins are very intelligent, highly emotional and expressive creatures. They enjoy the company of humans, and if a relationship develops between a human and a dolphin, as has happened with me, they will, on occasion, wish to express their trust and affection for you in the most direct way; through mating, or sex-play. You see, dolphins do not use sex purely for procreative reasons. They use it as a way of strengthening the bonds between pod mates (mothers and calves included), and also for fun. Dolphins and humans share this common trait with very few other animals, so sometimes it makes me wonder when people continue to ask me "How DO you mate with a dolphin?". Easy. Let the dolphin tell you!

Q1) How do I tell a male dolphin from a female one?

A1) Probably the most common question I get asked. There are 2 ways of determining the sex of a dolphin. The most obvious way is to take a peek under the peduncle (the long part of the body connected to the tail flukes). On the dolphin's belly, directly opposite the dorsal fin, will be the umbilicus, or the navel of the dolphin. Looking further down towards the tail, you start to see the differences.

Male dolphins have two separate slits for the penis (the urogenital opening) and the anus. These are separated by a bridge of skin. The male's urogenital opening is generally located further up the belly, towards the navel.

Females, on the other fin, have one continuous larger slit, the anus located at the end of it. On either side of the genital slit, you will find two smaller slits; these are the mammary slits, where the nipples of the dolphin are kept for feeding the calves. The slit is also located closer to the tail stock of the dolphin.

The other way to determine the sex of a dolphin, if you can't reach their belly, is to look at their mellon, or head. The males tend to have a fatter, rounder mellon, while the females are more sleek and streamlined.

Q2) How do I know if a dolphin wants to have sex?

A2) There are various ways a dolphin has of showing that she or he is interested in sex.

Males are probably the easiest to detect. They will swim around, sporting an erection (anywhere between 10 to 14 inches long for a Bottle-nose), and will have no bones about swimming up to you and placing their member within reach of your hand. If you are in the water, they may rub it along any part of your body, or wrap it around your wrist or ankle. (Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.) Their belly will also be pinkish in colour, which also denotes sexual excitement.

Females can be a little harder. The most obvious way a female dolphin has of displaying her sexual interest is the pink-belly effect. Their genitals become very pink and swollen, making the genital region very prominent. They may be restless, or they may be acting as normal. If you are out of the water, they may swim up to you and roll belly up, exposing themselves to you, coupled with pelvic thrusts. If you are in the water, they may press their genitals up against yours, nibble your fingers, nuzzle your crotch, or do pelvic thrusts against you.

Each dolphins way of expressing sexual readiness varies, so the longer you know the dolphin, the better you will detect when they are sexually active.

Q3) What do I do if a dolphin wants to mate with me?

A3) Accept, if possible! I will go through the steps involved with males and females...

The Male:

When a male dolphin is interested in you, about the only thing you can do, if you are male, is to masturbate him. (Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the female of the human species... it seems women just don't like dolphins enough... so I cannot say for sure if it is safe to mate with them. I would suspect not, due to a dolphins size, but then again, I cannot say for a woman.) WARNING! In the considerations of safety, you should NEVER let a male dolphin attempt anal sex with you. The Bottle-nose dolphin member is around 12 inches, very muscular, and the thrusting and the force of ejaculation (A male can come as far as 14 feet) would cause serious internal injuries, resulting in peritonitus and possible death. Unless you are the masochistic type, you will have a hard time explaining your predicament to the doctors in the emergency ward....

A male dolphin's member is roughly S-shaped, tapered at the end. If you are in the water with them, it is best to support the dolphin on his side, just under the water, with one hand, and handle him with the other. Male dolphins, I find, tend to prefer the base of the penis to be gently massaged and squeezed, as well as gently rubbed along it's length. It feels very much like the rest of the dolphin (ie. smooth and rubbery to the touch, but firmer). It doesn't take long for the male to ejaculate, around 40 seconds to a minute, and this is usually accompanied by either shuddering just prior to ejaculating, and thrusting and tail-arching during ejaculation. The force of ejaculation can be powerful at times, so it is best to keep your face out of the line of fire, or keep his member underwater. You can attempt to lick and suck on the end of it while masturbating as well, but be warned, do not try to give full throat, and get the hell out of the way before he ejaculates! A male dolphin could snap your neck in an accidental thrust, and that would be the end of that relationship.

The Female:

Well, the females are again a little trickier. There are two courses of action with a female fin: Masturbation, or mating.

Masturbation: Female dolphins, once they show interest in you, can be supported in much the same way as the male, one hand under the fin, supporting her, the other doing the stimulating. The clitoris of the female is located at the top of the genital slit, and is a prominent lump when erect. You can rub this with your finger tips, or lick and suck it, but with the oral aspect, you might end up with a bruised nose as they thrust up into you. You can slide your hand gently into their genital opening, and feel around inside, rubbing gently. They feel warm and muscular inside, their labia like tough, squishy sponge when they are excited. Don't be surprised if they start to play with your hand inside them. They have very manipulative muscles, and can use them to carry and manipulate objects, including your hand. (They can do things that would make a regular human woman turn green with envy.) Their climax is coupled with stiffening, shuddering, sometimes a lot of thrusting, clinching of the vaginal muscles, and sometimes vocalisation.

Mating: This is harder. Obviously, being human, it is awkward, but not impossible to mate in open water. It is easier to have the dolphin in a shallow area (like the shallows just off the beach) around 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep. This is usually comfortable enough for both the dolphin and you. Gently, you should roll the dolphin on her side, so she is lying belly-towards you. You can prop yourself up on an elbow, and lie belly to belly against her. You may want to use the other arm to gently hold her close, and place the tip of your member against her genital slit. She will, if interested, arch her body up against you, taking you inside her body. There is usually a fair bit of wriggling and shifting, usually to get comfortable, both outside and inside. Once comfortable, though, females initiate a series of muscular vaginal contractions that rub the entire length of your member. They may also thrust rhythmically against you, so enjoy the experience while you can, since you will rarely last longer that a minute or two. Just prior to her climaxing, she will up the speed of her contractions and thrusts. It is interesting to note that the times I have mated with females, thay have timed their orgasm to mine. Whether they do this consciously or not, I do not know, but it is a great feeling to have two bodies shuddering against each other at the one time.

One thing to note. Whether you masturbate or mate a fin, male or female, always spend time with them afterwards. Cuddle them, rub them, talk to them and most importantly, and show them you love them. This is essential, as it helps to strengthen the bond between you. Like a way of saying that this wasn't just a one night fling. The dolphins appreciate it, and they will want your company more the next time you visit them.

Q4) What diseases can I get from dolphins? Can I give them any?

A4) I have had no experiences with Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) with dolphins, so I couldn't rightfully say. I do know, however, that you can pass the Flu between you, along with other respiratory problems. (I got a cold when a dolphin sneezed on me once. It cleared up after a week or so.) You can also pass some skin irritations on to them, if you handle them with chaffed or broken skin. Just like with a human, it is best to BE CLEAN when you handle a dolphin. If you have cuts on your hands, avoid touching them unless you wash with a Betadine surgical scrub prior to handling. This is available from most Veterinary and Surgical suppliers. If you have some disease of some sort, avoid mating, for the dolphins sake. This is a little known area, more so because Zoophilia is considered illegal in many places (which I think is a load of crud, but the law's the law....)

Q5) Is their any way I can invite a dolphin to be masturbated?

A5) Well, yes. If they are hanging around, but not looking particularly excited, but you are, you can invite them with this way...

Male and Female dolphins can be invited by rolling them on their sides, again, but instead of going straight to the genital slit, rub along their bellies, between their pectoral fins, along the navel, and every once in a while, over the genital slit. If they are responsive, they will show the signs of excitement as described earlier, and you can proceed as usual. If, however, they are not responsive, they will swim away, or turn back upright. DO NOT force the issue with a dolphin! Trying to restrain them will only break their trust in you, and could cause you serious injury. Pat them, stroke them and talk to them lovingly, but do not try anything else. It is best, anyway, to let the dolphin tell you when they are ready. It is far more pleasant, and more fulfilling anyway. And more special.

Q6) Where can I find a dolphin to mate with?

A6) Aquariums are a bad choice, for many reasons. Too public, the dolphins are not in their natural habitat, night visits are impossible, etc etc... some may have external enclosures, which may be accesable, but that is no guarantee. Best thing sometimes is to find a beach or a cove that the dolphins frequent. It takes time to develop a relationship with a dolphin to the point where they will let you mate with them (although some have been as quick as 3 days to acclimatize). Gaining their trust takes time, and you need to visit frequently. This is impossible for some people, I understand, but it is the best way. Sometimes you just need to be in the right place at the right time. I have been extremely lucky on two occasions with wild dolphins, and my current mate is a dolphin who lives in the harbour of my resident city.

Well, I hope this is of use to whoever is interested. One final note. You should love a dolphin, not because of the sexual relief they can provide, but because they are a unique animal, one of the few wild animals that seek the company of man by their own initiative. This is special. Do not abuse it.

Chelsea,

You're such a quitter. You even quit quitting.

When I posted in the previous thread, I thought you were naive...harmless, but naive. Now, you've proven yourself to be self-justifyingly annoying. That's worse.

How incredibly childish!

How incredibly Rove-ian! To be trounced painfully in the argument you started with...only to simply ignore the argument as originally defined, to redefine it in terms you feel are beneficial to yourself and then declare yourself the victor, on these new terms of yours.

Rove-ian? I meant childish. (OK, same thing.)

Next question--how many of the 204 posts that were put up in that other thread before 4pm, the posts that earned you the money you agreed to prostitute for, were actually YOU, posting for yourself anonymously?

(And if THAT thought doesn't make the mods institute a registration system, I don't know what will...)

This whole episode makes me wish you HAD simply left--knowing what a nightmare every one of your subsequent posts will be.

(And I'm one of the nice SLOG posters.)

After feeling sorta-kinda sympathetic at the initial rant ("girl must've come from some placid blog") then *not* when she started gloating about important friends who were going to bat for her and haha, I win!, I had to look up CAB's entries.

Um, why was this person ever asked to guest-blog?

I mean, you really couldn't find anyone in all of Seattle capable of either writing well or talking about interesting things? Notice the use of "or" there. I'm not even asking about finding both qualities in one person, thought that would be nice.

I don't live in Seattle or follow Slog—just like to come by occasionally because you have good stories about Seattle city politics. So maybe CAB is right up Slog's alley, quality-wise. I'm guessing this is not the case though, from the trackback response.

Seriously, Stranger editors, what did you think was going to happen when you gave out such a nice perch to someone so underqualified?

I've recovered some of my cogent thinking skills.

I understand Mr. Keck's business decision to do this, she drove traffic to the site and also probably brought new readers to Slog by generating the link from Gawker. That's good for the Stranger, and ultimately good for us too as that means they'll survive longer so we can still play in this playground.

What bothers me is CAB's subsequent post about Mr. Keck's offer. She tagged it "Celeb" and her post was definitely an "in your face" to the regular Slog commenters.

I will feel better about this whole incident if her post next week about what she spent the money on is about something charitable she did with it, like giving it to the ACLU to continue to defend free speech. And if the tone of that post isn't like the tones of her two posts from yesterday but is instead thoughtful in nature, along the lines of "thank you for helping to continue the debate about the quality of the dialogue on the Internet and for making it possible for people who don't normally speak up on Slog to feel comfortable doing so because of this issue."

I have to say that I find it amusing that apparently the Stranger staff seems to hate Slog or at least Slog commentators yet our participation on Slog drives up the number of hits which they can then use on their ad sheets to charge higher rates for advertisers.

And a little controversy and a national mention on a major site like Gawker could only drive up hits and generate even more ad revenue.

Well played.

On the downside, people nationally might check out Slog, read "Chelsea Ding-Dong Bell's" posts, assume she is a paid staff writer and wonder how a no-talent twit managed to get herself a job as a paid writer and surmise that the entire staff of the Stranger are illiterate twits.

Late to the party, as usual. Few people will be reading this since in a matter of hours more pictures of the Incredible Hulk or something will push this thread off the front page, but I will offer my 2 cents anyway.

Chelsea, I must confess I have no idea who you are. I may have read one of your posts, or maybe not. It takes time to develop name recognition and while the major stars of the Stranger (Savage, ECB, Mudede et al.) are well known, new people are not. Apparently you posted something about Sex in the City. Since I have never watched the show I probably didn't bother to read your article and its attendant commentary and moved on to something else. That's not a reflction on you, just what does and does not interest me.

Having said that, I suppose I should move on to my point. If you are going to put something out there with your name on it, you have to expect the bad along with the good. That is the price you pay for being a public figure. If you don't like to be criticized, choose a profession where you are anonymous from the public view and the quality of your work is scrutinized only by your boss in a confidential annual employee review. Journalism puts you in a fish bowl, for better or worse. It's your choice whether to stay in or out of the public eye.

One more thing: a lot of people post inflammatory comments simply to generate attention. For them, being ignored, left out or forgotten hurts more than the hottest flames. My own posts are rarely answered or commented upon since they are often lame but harmless attempts at humor. The exception would be threads dealing with religion since that is my area of expertise and former vocation. I have gotten into an occasional heated discussion with other Sloggers but survived with no permanent damage. But usually I have absolutely no idea whether anyone has ever read a single word that I wrote. That's OK with me--I am probably the most introverted person you will never meet. Anyone who has spoken with me at Slog Happy, and I have attended all but one, has probably forgotten I exist five minutes later. But that's me--other people want to be known and recognized. For them, trolling is a good way to get attention. It's like a five year old throwing a temper tantrum. I honestly wouldn't take it personally.

Anyway, I encourage you to stick it out and use your time at the Stranger to develop your skills. You're paying your dues now, but I predict 20 years from now you will be sitting around a barroom table with your friends laughing about the shitty job experiences you had when you were young. I'm 46 years old and have already had those types of conversations. Keep going--you will survive.

This reaffirms my decision to quit reading the Slog. Chelsea was an odd and stupid choice for a guest blogger and either reflected the "nepotism"/"good old 'boy' network" here or a desire to create commenter controversy by bringing in an "outsider" who no one is going to like.

Was Tao Lin not available to write some incredibly insightful posts for you?

I only wish there was a way to set up a feed of Paul Constant, Annie Wagner, and Jen Graves posts. They're wonderful writers and incredibly informative. Sadly, that doesn't generate as many angry comments and therefore page refreshes and ad views.

Heh. Awesome. You keep on doing your thing, Chelsea.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen anyone humiliate themselves so greatly -- and on a literally global scale, no less -- and not have a clue that she's done it.

If the Slog commenters double Keck's money, will you stay away? Or will you start a "stop me/keep me whining" bidding war? As the old saying goes, we've already established what you are, now we're settling on the price.

Your previously-mentioned mother must be so proud of her highly-principled, strong, independent, smart, adult daughter.

Sorry, but -- wow.

@133, RainMan I met you and I still remember you, even after 3 alcohol drenched slushie bombs.

@134 I miss your comments, at least read it sometimes just to say hello.

All y'all need to get yourselves lives. Seriously. At least do it before you graduate 8th grade.

@143: You just made me smile. Thanks for the compliment. I wasn't surprised when I saw that some of the most fair, cogent, and kind remarks about this had been made by you.

I need to figure out how to comment without getting so emotionally involved.

Chelsea, if you post your stuff on the weekends it is more likely to be read because there are only about twelve posts between 10pm Friday and 6am Monday.

That reminds me, whatever happened to Cienna Madrid. Now she is a writer!

Poe, I'm going to now always act like I know you, alright? Are we cool? 'Course we are, brosef. You and me. We're tight. Homies.

And lovers.

Wolf, you're a dumbass. Please don't talk about your journalism shit here. You make the rest of us look like poseurs. kthxbai.

Yah. Right. I'll believe this when Chelsea posts a scan of her drivers license. She can block out all the incriminating bits but thats the only way I'll be convinced shes not fiction.

Chelsea, you're over 400 comments combined. You even brought out the dolphin-fucker. Make Tim pay you for both of them.

@151 --

And you, you can be mean.
And I, I'll drink all the time.
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact.
Yes we're lovers, and that is that.

I was impressed when Trollhatten Saab got a shitload of posts wishing Swade well, but this is rediculous! Over 400 posts for 2 articles for someone who is willing to prostitute herself for a fucking tiny amount of money. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, particularly Cornball, Poe, and Wolf. You indulge this petulent child and elevate her status. Pathetic. I for one will never post to Chelsea's blogs again, the only way to get her to go away is to IGNORE her.
