You want to be taken seriously? Erase bullshit like this. Sorry for the swears, but you have not earned respect for me not to use them if you permit mean-spirited stuff like this, and you obviously have for long enough for this to be a nice long entry. I don't care if the jag-offs at Gawker have a T-shirt for it. You don't know the whole story, so why permit this?
