    Right, Lawson, make it about poor "sad" partypants instead of you. Deflection is a wonderful thing.

    Still wondering if this whole incident was staged to add some media juice to your book tour. Metalicious.

    Hm. This partypants character seems like your typical blog-person who wants to work for Gawker or some similar entity, but can't, for any variety of reasons. This frustrates/saddens them, so they decide to hate Gawker (and similar entities) instead. I've seen it dozens of times before partypants, and her personal blog tells this same story in sad, exacting detail.

    What I really don't get is being obsessed with internet strangers to the point of spending your time "reblogging" them and just, you know, attacking them at every opportunity. At least the folks at Gawker are a) Good writers b) Funny c) Getting paid to do it. If you're doing this kind of muck pro bono, well... sigh for you. A big ol' sigh for you.

    @TallulahSkankhead: There were a couple of good turns of phrase here or there in the posts of hers that I read, but they were overshadowed by the obsessive coverage of the same few subjects and a lotta cheap slams at people's looks.

    I dunno. I just don't get some parts of the internet, I guess.

    As Gawker suggested, if you'd like to visit other media outlets that are reporting the story:

    [www.huffingtonpost.com]

    The link to the e-mail about date rape is a delightful touch.

    @o-line: yeah, that link was not classy. They didn't even mention that the article was satiric, leaving readers with the distinct impression that Blakeley is a date rapist.

    Someone at HP doesn't like Richard, and are willing to be vicious and underhanded. HP is like a shitty high school newsletter.

    It's news in the blog world, and Gawker should have reported it the minute they heard about it and confirmed it--because Gawker would have been outraged if, say, a Times reporter had been similarly charged and the Times didn't report it. But all of this fact-free back and forth in the comments does no service to journalism or justice, is patently unfair to the people involved in some very personal turmoil, and is damned tiresome at this length. See you on another thread, folks.
