and I wrote out a big thing here, but in my slightly drunken state idk if its a good idea to post all of it so i deleted it, but let me just say it came across as total bullshit.

i dont even like hulk hogan for the record, but it doesnt matter because this is a case about right and wrong and gawker did wrong and STILL WONT ADMIT IT

When were they ever silent? Whats her face earned hogan 25 million more bitching about an immediate appeal while making it clear she was never willing to accept any responsibility.

What did I miss?

That wrestler shouldn’t have been boffing some other dude’s wife, or we’d all have been spared this rigamarole. When you choose celebrity, you know what you’re getting into. I don’t have any simpathy for Hogan at all. Nor any for the people who run Gawker. I’d miss Oppo bad, but if the rest of Gawker disappeared, I’d never notice.

I don’t know how to feel about the situation. I don’t want anything to happen to Jalopnik, oPPo, io9 or Kotaku, but I would love to see Gawker/Jezebel/HamNo/Denton go down in flames.

dude just because hes a celeb doesnt mean all the shit he ever does is subject to public consumption. i mean yeah its weird he made a sextape but that doesnt mean “this is for public consumption now”

also i like the word boffing, i should use it more

and im hoping this doesnt kill oppo but im aware it might

i think if one goes down they all will man.... and id much rather see gawker survive than fail if it means oppo lives. ive done a decent job blocking out gawker thus far, so its whatever to me either way

Their whole article reeks of self-righteous horse dung even moreso than when they outed the dude a year or so ago. Like, sure, that jury award is absurd, and this will go into appeal forever, but hey man, I don’t need 1200 words of you crying about how the legal system is unfair. Come on, that’s how it works.

Did the higher Gawker power get mad at the Hulkmania thing the mods put up?

Oh wait, are you thinking of the Hulkmania stuff that was going on in Oppo for that day or so? AFAIK nothing bad happened because of that, I was talking about how Gawker finally wrote about the Hulk Hogan sex-tape trial.

Gotcha. The other point that you and I were discussing, I have to probably cede you the point, in spite of how disagreeable I find Hulk Hogan and his behavior. But I did object to the Hulkmania banner heading because I don’t want to be associated with that guy.

haha yeah, I don’t like Hulk Hogan at all either. I’d like to think I’m not taking Hogan’s side in the argument and more about taking the “correct” side of the argument. But the banner and stuff was pretty funny for a day or so, got a laugh out of me I have to admit. hopefully it didn’t piss anyone off too much... (anyone mostly meaning PG, who as EIC of Jalopnik probably has to make sure we aren’t being total idiots, just kind of idiots.
