Oh my god that was you! Hahaha, that was one of my all time favorite stories! The little turd on the carpet!
Hee, I feel like I'm talking to a celebrity now ;)

WHen did you write this letter, and have you heard anything yet?
I think that having the ability to look and listen and then to change one's way of thinking is a sign of intelligence and adaptability! I never understood why people would think clutching to old ideas on the face of everything is smart. I respect you more for having the will to admit you were wrong about things. It's very difficult to do, but it is a sign of real character.
One of the reasons it really, truly pains me to leave this site is that I have, over the years, changed my mind about things, and it is due to the commenters, their insight, their ability to present such a wide variety of viewpoints and experiences. I did not really understand the concept of white privilege, for example, but these lesbian shitasses have changed my world view. This is no small feat, and it really hurts that I may lose that.
However, I've been over on Persephone mag all night and I feel a little heartened now. Maybe things will be OK.

Yes, you are legendary. You were even called out on FuckNoJezebel tumblr, I just saw.
I should have left when Tracie banned Miz Jenkins. I hate the idea of the flounce, but this seems too much.
That's actually a really good idea.
Yeah, I know, thus the scare quotes. I am so fucking pissed about this whole thing. And disgusted. And VaVa was one of my favorites!
Thank you. Without you and "GrapeParfait" I wouldn't ahve known about this. And I guess I'm going to hang around the open threads a bit longer, and drop in for the next few days to see if the editors do anything, but overall, this seems like a pretty unforgivable action. I don't think I really want to come here anymore, which makes me so sad, as it was a favorite of mine. But this? This is just beyond what I can tolerate.
He just unshrivelled my ovaries a tiny bit.
This song 100% awesome, but Eleventy% bad with percentages...
Thanks for this, VaVa. I wouldn't have known about this astounding lack of ethics or judgment or basic fucking human decency had it not been for your repeated postings. I missed the whole thing the first go round.
Are you the one who wrote a letter to Coen and North? If so, did you get a reply, and if not, do you know who did and where the transcript of it is?
I'm so disgusted and dismayed by this. I wouldn't even expect this shit from 4chan, but Jez? Really? I just. Fuck.
Anyway. I just signed up over at Persephone Magazine. I hope I see you there.
Best,
VD
VaVa, noooo! You are one of my favorites! Wow. Ain't this some shit.
I'm so disgusted. I always liked the comments here better than the articles, and I left for a while when they fucked with all that a while back, but I eventually came back cause of the commenters. I am so beyond shocked that anyone, much less somewhat self-aware journalists like these, would think it was even a little bit OK to show a victim mid-rape. I guess they really are just callous, calculating people only interested in page views. I just...I got nothing. I can't process. I missed the story the first time around, and this...fuck.
Cute hell, that thing is BAD ASS! I want one
Me too! People look at me like I'm nuts when I say it, but it feels like my nails can't breathe! I don't like that feeling at all, like being hyper-aware of my nails.
The whole thing is just revolting in every possible way, sounds like! Why do people watch this show? (I know, rhetorical question).
I don't get it, though. Why are these people stars? They sound dreadful Ugh, and I sound like my grandmother.
Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. From an outsider's view, the idea of publicly questioning a woman's (what I thought was) documented account of DV just gave me the icks.
(Also, when I saw the little notification that said "RIP Li'l Sebastian replied to your comment," I laughed out loud, for really reals.)
Ha! I laughed pretty hard at this. Makes me think of Nic Cage and the whole weird vampire Civil War thing.
This whole Taylor Armstrong thing makes me very uncomfortable. I should add that I don't watch any of the Real Housewives stuff, and I don't think I've ever even seen a clip, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but it seems really wrong to me that she's being scrutinized. What does her past as a grifter have to do with these claims? Would we (we Jezebel, not we Outside World) be questioning her past like this if she were a rape victim?
I loathe pretty much all things reality TV, so it's completely possible I'm missing some huge piece of the picture here. I'd never have known of this person were it not for Jez. Can someone explain to me what's going on here? Is it suspected the show faked a DV issue or what?
There is something they're not telling us! Full Colonial garb, there's something they don't want us to know!
Oh no! I'm so sorry! So, so sorry.
God, first boyfriend to first breakup, that's rough. Take care of yourself, this is a rough time.
((Hugs))
Weird, there was a picture with my post earlier!
Yes, dog. He's supposedly 1/4 or 1/8 or something wolf, and I believe it, as he howls along with the radio, TV, passing sirens, my own bad singing...
