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[Just A Reminder...]]> Don't forget, we're conducting commenter executions tomorrow. It's not about stifling different opinions or views; it's about creating a place where you don't have to read stupid crap that adds absolutely nothing to the dialogue. It's hard to explain, yet you know it when you see it. Email us the screen name of the person you think should be axed (and the reason), and we'll see you at the guillotine.
