    Incidentally, I much prefer the pictures or depictions of executions from the days of yore. They're just so exciting! The Impostors reference was imaginative but it just didn't have the same effect as the traditional image of a good old-fashioned execution. Just sayin.

    I think it is fun to try to figure out AD's latest incarnation. I suspect that the original AD is a beloved original commenter who is unhappy with the direction of this site.


    Like that imwiththebrand person.

    Whoa, and hello! Back from the Staff "Holiday" part, take-out Indian food (red dot, not feather) and lots of wine:


    Dear Baby Jesus,


    Please and thank you for sparing me, but I pray for my friend Minsley Tortimer, whomever (whoever?) that may be. And that all expenses paid trip to the Lorenza Medeci vineyard/hotel in Chianti? That's still good, right?


    We get to go home now, no pink slips, although a friend of mine in NYC was laid off yesterday. "They do it on a Thursday now so they can check your computer and files on Friday and shut the books."


    God bless us everyone.

    Hey Richard, for the record: "Minsley Tortimer" was definitely American Dreamer. "Glitter Panda" was definitely the commenter formerly known as Minsely Tortimer (the real one).


    I have to say I'm disappointed with the execution of iplaudius, since he/she was trying to do a public service by alerting folks that the person posing as "Minseley Tortimer" was an imposter. Having been victimized myself by the same "commenter identity theft" by American Dreamer, I appreciate iplaudius's motives in doing that. I'm sorry to see him/her go.


    But the "blinky tag" is irritating. I can't argue with you there.


    (Also, I miss the real Minsely. I hope she comes back under a new name and doesn't reveal her true identity this time.)

    Why must people come here to pick fights with other commenters when there are plenty of complete assholes being covered in the posts who deserve our scorn?

    Good Christ. What the hell happened in there? It was like some sort of retarded acid trip. I felt like someone had touched me repeatedly in the bad way when I left that thread. Good riddance to it all. I'll miss Minsley, but that whole thing was crikey insane. DON'T ANYONE EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

    I've obvs been out of the loop, but to those who are lamenting the execution of some of their fave commenters, I'll say "fret not kiddies". Some of the best have been killed off in the past but have returned from the dead, just like Gawkers' very own Jesus.


    Now I celebrate the reincarnation of In Other News instead of Easter. Win - win, no?

    Dear, iPlaudius, thank you for dying for our sins. See you over at that other place we chatted about this week.


    But also thanks to Richard for the butt slap these other brats needed. Bring It On/American Dreamer is amusing to some but he/she/it has been bringing a lot of hate as of late. I am immune to name calling--I'm just too old and mean--but it was bringing the vibe down.
