The moment you've been waiting for. We're ridding ourselves of some commenters, and sending others to, well, the corner. [Ha! -Ed.] Names and offenses after the jump.

Gone: isfahan
Why: In response to a story about an Israel-born baker on trial for putting abortion-inducing pills into his wife's breakfast: Well, what else do you expect from a jew. it's part of their culture.

Gone: A.T. Elle
Why: Commenter, to A.T.Elle: "My parents met on a blind date and went to a restaurant called Rebecca's. Guess what they named me. Is that story less cute because they're divorced now?" A.T. Elle: "A little."

Gone: abogada
Why: (via email) "I have to say that in general I have become very unimpressed with the maturity level of the majority of commenters; and the "queen bee" playground clique mentality a few of them demonstrate. Don't get me wrong, there are many thoughtful, intelligent women and men who post at Jezebel— it is the rest of them that I no longer care to deal with. Please close my commenter account."

Gone: Brianstorm
Why: Re: Sarah Jessica Parker: I don't live in NY I think she's fugly and styleless

Gone: cindel
Why: Self-inflicted, via email. "l'm a racist...apparently I hate white women for some reason. I'm a "Heather".

Yeah, it's not a lot. But here's who we're watching, due to numerous e-mailed nominations and complaints, including cliquishness, rudeness, mean-girls behavior, ganging up on those with different opinions and general "Queen Bee" attitudes:
BAngieB
sinisterrouge
sarahmc
3dsunglasses
rsr26

Note: Those executed can always re-apply. The point is to keep it thoughtful, play nice, and comment when you actually have something interesting to say.

4. Can I be banned from commenting?
Yes, if your comments are excessively self-promotional, obnoxious, or even worse, boring.

<![CDATA[Commenter Executions: Off With Their Heads]]> Hey, you guys. You may have noticed that we're growing, which is great. Not so great? The growing pains...in our asses. If you've been reading for a while you know what we're talking about: Commenters who just. Don't. Get. It. We've been attempting to make this place free of girl-on-girl crime and it's not always easy. We admit that. But there are some people who don't even try. So, instead of simply announcing who we think the offenders are, we're going to let you weigh in too. If there's a commenter who is becoming a problem, send the screenname and reason to tips@jezebel.com. See you soon at the guillotine.
