    As an unstarred commenter I too perceive that Gawker is going to extraordinary lengths to sensor me. Just call it my extra sensory perception.

    I think it's about time you "Gawkers" produce your birth certificates. And not just in a PDF, you should be mailing them out to all of your readers. Damn Commies.

    If it saves us from insane rambling pinheads I am totally OK with living in a comfortable communist world where free-speech is sensored.

    Whatever the fuck that means. As long as no insane rambling pinheads. Other than me, of course.

    It’s not a First Amendment violation, because Gawker is a private organization and not an agent of the state, BUT WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF GAWKER WAS YOUR GOVERNMENT?

    I'm well and tired of conservatives referencing George Orwell as if he were somehow on their side. Hey douchebags! He fought in the Spanish Civil War! FOR THE COMMUNISTS! Wrap your puny little brains around that.

    John F is gonna be very disappointed when he finds out that by using the term "Big Brother" he's quoting a total socialist who fought in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Communists.

    @snugbug: At the time, Orwell would not have considered himself a communist -- but a socialist.

    During the civil war, he fought in the POUM militia -- a Trotsky-influenced group formed iin 1935 by Andreu Nin and Joaquín Maurín. Although POUM was part of the Popular Front, they were opposed to Stalin.

    But, back to topic...Hi, John Frank! Along with figuring out how spell check works, you might want to realize that we are but corporate stooges for our capitalistic master, the fabulous Nick Denton.

    Seriously, what is wrong with parts of communism and/or socialism. First, North Korea isn't even close to communism. Second, in true communism and/or socialism, there are many good things. There have just never been a truly socialist nor communist state...ever! Don't get me wrong, my personal favorite is a socialist/Free Market/Democratic hybrid. I just don't get why people think socialist (in particular - I will concede communist carries some unwanted burdens) is such a bad thing and/or an insult. Please call me a socialist - and I would be proud of it. And any Christian who truly reads and UNDERSTANDS the bible, would also agree that socialism was probably Jesus' prefered government!
