@LipstickLibrarian: I hear if you look into a mirror in a darkened room and say "RSR26, RSR26, RSR26!" and turn around once, you'll turn into a batshit misogynist who writes really lousy forum posts and then can't defend any of them!

@zivah: Me too, me too! And then I was all, Wait a second, our IT department is cranky and would tell someone to just tell me to stay off the internet. And things would escalate in silly and preventable ways.

We''re a fractious company.

@violettefay:

I was aiming for a pre-emptive strike against the Pretty in Pink by Dolls post that was inevitably going to be four pages of Blaine v. Ducky v. Steff v. Jake Ryan which is how any John Hughes themed post eventually devolves on Jezebel.

And imagine how shocked and pleased I was by the restraint, by not having the same played out conversation for the 50th time, we are finally learning from our mistakes!

But alas. It was just technical malfunction.

@BowlingForDollars: exactly. i don't have time to read the THOUSANDS of comments that are posted here every day, and I find I usually miss some great discussion.

I am just glad that I didn't actually post my comment last night 25 times. I'm sure you're all fascinated that I wanted to be a school bus when I grew up, but probably not THAT much.

@whoneedslight: agreed. All the "omg we must be twins! I am just like you!" comments that no one else needs to hear, and the "Word. Nothing else to add." comments that take up space. Nothing turns me off more than stuff like that. Either contribute something meaningful or funny, or don't contribute at all!

ahhhh i can finally post!! jezebel you left me hanging at the worst time when i needed to defend myself and my comments yesterday and then i felt like a douche for being misunderstodd. i was literally thinking about it all night and couldnt get to sleep for fear that other jez commenters thought i was a huge asshole.

i thought id been executed yesterday!!!

@zivah: @cate3710: I too fear a Jezaddiction as well.

@whoneedslight: If you think it's bad here on Jezabel, go over to "TheKnot" sometime. Seriously, every day (to THIS day, I've peeked back there since getting married)has the same, like, four topics... 1) What are you doing for a first dance 2)Is it REALLY tacky to have a cash bar 3) How do I tell my parents I can't invite all their friends 4) What ceremony music are you having 5)Complaining about someone being a bitch

tscheese — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:19:12 EDT

@BowlingForDollars: I like the 40-50 comment threads too, because it usually means that everyone who's posted actually put some thought into what they were saying, and that the topic wasn't so inflammatory that everyone just leaped into mindless flamewar mode.

Though the flames can be hysterical as well. Has rsr26 started any bicker-fits lately?

BowlingForDollars — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:17:30 EDT

@zivah: Because you need to know what's going on in the discussion.

I love it when there are only 40-50 well-thought, well-written comments. Makes for a great read.

whoneedslight — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:16:28 EDT

If you don't read it all, you end up reposting exactly the same thing that 20 people have already said and that just adds to the clutter. I like reading the posts and the comments, the site isn't just about putting in my two cents. The repetition is what gets me down.
Not bashing, just saying.

I had trubs in IE, Safari, AND Firefox - and that was even after the clearing history/cookies/cache song-and-dance. I was so scared that I emailed the editrices to see if I had been axed for my Cheeto Pubes comments yesterday. And they were super-nice! I love you, Jez!

Thank the Gawkergods that we are back! :D
