I know -- I'm all, like, internet ready and shit!
Look at me, followin' through!
Also, it's really hard not to go into every post and scream "I HAVE A STAR! LOOK AT MY STAR!" But that would get me banned, and then having a star is totes pointless.

Hey crew-
Please send your technical issues (and be as descriptive as possible- tell us what browser you're using, etc.) to tips@jezebel.com.
Thanks!

Sorry about going off-topic... I kinda started on topic... but it kind of got derailed.

Hi Hortense. Firstly, massive kudos for your handling of the comments from hell today. You were so incredibly professional and fair. But what I wanted to ask was: please could you publish a list of banned commenters saying why they were banned. The suspicion is that some excellent commenters get banned just because they disagree with the editors, and I feel like we've lost a bunch of intellectual warriors today without any inkling why; the loss of some of these excellent women is simply not good for the site. Also, even if the bannings are justified, it's a bit like the Pinochet regime (in a virtual sense, obvs!) with all these sudden disappearances and ne'er a fair thee well. Some explanation would be much appreciated as well as a tally of the fallen.

Way to handle the scary thread from hell today! I really admire your patience and occasional smack-down (although you did ban a couple friends of mine and I'm sad it came to that). I hope Jez is paying you well, because it cannot be an easy job.

Hortense, bless your heart. (And I don't mean that in the passive-aggressive "fuck you" Southern way). Truly, I don't know how you've survived the last couple of days. I sure hope they're paying you well.

Can I just say that sometimes, the best threads are ones that go slightly off topic? When someone posts a video of another Gawker writer having a bad media appearance, that's relevant. It's just a little overboard, I think, to not allow ANYTHING but the discussion at hand. It feels less like a caring moderator and more like a drill sergeant abusing their power.
