Comments on You Gonna Take That?

Must I really pay attention to Gawker? Can't I ignore them, like everything else on the Internet that doesn't interest me?

What are they talking about? I've read some of the Gawker comments.

Look around Abby. There's nothing on Slog but Gawker items. Save kill Pit Bulls, Erica's frivolous bullshit, meta shit, etc. Even if you don't see a citation, because they can get away with it, it was still on Gawker long before.

Right now, on Gawker, Mr. Poe, like the spunky smolt he is, is pushing upstream, trying to establish himself as an ever-larger fish in the larger Gawker pond.

I have observed and find it is with mixed success. His posts are classic Poe, but there seem to be so many people that his "I am here!" posts do not always reach Horton's ears. Not his fault, really...I find Gawker posters to be less interested in engaging with one another intra-thread, and more interested in just stating their opinion and moving on.

Slog is much more fun, IMHO, and -- god help me -- as fucked up as our little "community" can be, it seems more interesting than that at Gawker.

While I hope that Mr. Poe finds a way to find Chris Crocker levels of fame through his blog posts at Gawker, I hope he knows he always has a place at Slog, where we all love him so much that some folks could (literally) hug him to death. I just want to pat him on the head.

Reading Gawker comments gives me a headache because there are no numbers. They're all "@username this" and "@username that." SUCKS.

He's only been there for like a week and he already has 3 followers, so he's doing something right tho

@The General: I was just about to say the same thing.

See that's funny cuz its Ironic or something.

@4: except the local gossip/news is about New York, not Seattle, and I don't live in New York. And since I don't care who's winning the Internet race, things showing up a little later on Slog doesn't really bother me.

I'm witty, dammit. I feel pretty, and witty, and bright. And charming, oh so charming, it's alarming how charming I feel.

I knew it was going to come down to a rumble, I even made up a song for us last time we were CABed on Gawker:

"When you're a Slogger, you're a Slogger all the way, from your first outraged post to your last dying flame."

p.s. Apologies of course if this is a double post, my Internet stuttered and froze. Probably over the stupid lyrics I'd guess.

I think sloggers (someone witty like constant) should be allowed to arbitrarily remove and promote comments. Undemocratic? yes, but it would filter out the ones who think they're funny but are in fact embarrassingly bad at humor.

Thank your computer for trying to protect us.

Kidding, I myself as feeling very gay today as well.

If them Gawkers are saying we are not as witty as them are, I say they are big fat doodooheads.

wow...moving from Slog to Gawker IS a great career move, if your goal in life is to be a perpetual website troll.

What's next? Sucking up to Perez Hilton?

Yeah, Gawker, I'm callin' you out. You ain't got shit. Your comments are stanky ass dribble as far as I can tell. Slog comments are DIVINE.

The inner circle of the hell of Mr. Constant's flow chart (posted yesterday) is reserved for all who comment here. And there. About this. And that.

And then I said, "We've already determined that. Now we're just haggling over the price!"

Satisfied?

Abby's right @9.

Why not use a far better site, like say an entertainment site in LA, which has online vids and a cool daily vid of which shows are hot tonight for the club scene?

But ... sometimes we are both mean AND witty.

Especially Mr. Poe.

@16 Oh, like you have room to talk, geek.

@5,

That's the corniest thing I've ever read.

Immature and humorless? Where else is there to go? Oh and I forgot geeky. Where will they take me? I guess you're stuck. Just me and my Gerbil.

Witty is sooo overrated, it is the cheap refuge of the mildly jaded. We want spite, pathos, and boiled pit bulls here in the great gray Northwest; all that + our inferiority complex = our wallowing in this truly droll existence, and there aint nuthin wrong with that. Fuck off smarmy New York..heads.

I feel fine. I don't go to Gawker, so I don't give a fuck about that.

Yeah, come on, Jube, is it a stream, or is it a pond?

And if it's a stream, and he's jumping the rapids, he'd better be careful he doesn't get eaten by a bear.

@19 Geek? I am the coolest whatever-it-is-I-am north of the Montlake Cut. And west of 15th Ave NE. And south of the 49th parallel (maybe). And... Besides, it's always like this.

@24, fair enough criticism on the mixed metaphors. Mea culpa.

As to the bear bit, I doubt he'd mind being eaten, so long as the bear was a gray-haired old thing.

I love each and every one of you fucking psychotic narcissist motherfuckers.

Eat me gawker, whoever the fuck you are.
