Forgive My Pardiness
Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (it happens!) or by design (it happens more often).
- "Do Want to Meet the Gawkers—I'm new here so please forgive my pardiness, but the following comment on the Double-Beardedness post got me thinking: "karen uh-oh and tedsez" ARE there any good Gawker/Gawker-commenter love connection stories to tell?"
- "You got an email from Sam Rauch? But...Sam Rauch has been dead for 15 years."
- "To Whom It May Concern,
I am outraged by the 'Harry Potter' And The Jewish Problem article posted on Gawker.com. The article does not objectively report a story, but is clearly Anti-Semitic and written in an extremely derogatory
tone. I am aware that you can never please all readers —but a respectful publication like Gawker, should not publish hate articles. Please take the article down, as it is offensive." - Hello,friend.
