I think there were some unfunny commenters who were purged. I also think there were some funny commenters who were purged. Most crucially, I think it's ridiculous to put pressure on people to be funny all the time, lest they be purged. As it turns out, most of us have jobs. Being funny on a sports blog is a very low priority.

What's up DUAN. So I just got done watching "Home" by Yann Arthus-Bertrad on Nat Geo. Best aerial camera work since Planet Earth. Definitely recommend it to all you tokers who experience nature in the comfort of their own apartments, with HD.

I feel like I've picked the wrong time to make this my second official DUAN! after about three years of commenting. It's like a slew of sports blogging perusers forget to take their Paxil.

So I am thinking of purchasing a bottle of scotch...I've tried a few of the Macallan's and will probably go with the Macallan 12. Any suggestions? There are several other ones out there that I haven't had.

@Fukudomes_Marvelous_Bag_of_Suc...: If you are new to the world of scotch be forewarned it is endless. I'm a fan of Glendullan and The Speyside. The Speyside's are all very different and you'll have a good time figuring out which you like the best.

Ok, so at the risk of beating a dead horse into a fine pulp, I have a question. I have problems with the way some of this commenter situation was handled -- specifically not knowing what criteria was for staying -- but I also think that if I get banned I'll know exactly why: for being unfunny. That being said, I keep hearing (here and elsewhere) about how "many of the best commenters are now gone" and I just don't get it. The guys and gals who actually make me laugh are still (mostly) here. There is a difference between quality and longevity here. And frankly most of the DUANers who seem to have left were not actually banned!

@MarkKelsosMigraine:

I find the whole thing confusing as hell and I wonder how they went about deciding. I do have a theory and correct me if I'm wrong, but do you think it's possible that some of the funnier commenters were maybe not as politically correct as they could have been, and someone up top is thinking of selling the place? Or becoming more "mainstream"? I'm just throwing shit at the wall here.

@Fatty_B: I think it has nothing to do with being PC or criticizing Gawker or the site. Here is an example: Wonderlic was the master of using movie or TV quotes as his entire comment. They were usually spot on and funny. Well, a site needs ONE type of commenter like that, and he spawned a bunch of guys who copied that, did nothing but crib from movies and it wasn't funny.

@MarkKelsosMigraine: I'm not sure I agree. Not every post you're going to throw up there is going to bring the house down. Granted, there should be a limit on how much shit streams the chalkboard and those that it exceed it should get a heave. But being unfunny has always been an obvious infringement on the Deadspin Commenting Treatsie, which is why I think there's more going on here.

Is there a definitive list of who's been banned?

So I'm DUANing (?) and I'm also creating a slideshow for my sister's wedding. Discount the fact that I don't think the marriage will work...but got any songs you recommend for said slideshow?

So far: groom: Use Somebody by Kings of Leon

bride: Lucky by Leslie Mills

both: Book of Love by Peter Gabriel

So, apparently Carradine killed himself accidentally through auto-erotic asphyxiation. Most embarrassing way to go? Maybe heart attack or aneurysm while watching some really twisted porn?
