Tue, 14 Nov 2006 04:10:49 +0000 http://www.blogpi.net/the-trouble-with-harry#comment-4691 <p>[...] However, here at Blog P.I. we make no bones about getting a kick out of comment sections that turn on the site’s bloggers, and the reaction to Denton’s first post is truly something to behold. Some of the better responses: Come on. Valleywag can spill the beans on every other “change in employment,” but you try to pass this crap off when Nick Douglas leaves? What gives. You say, “letting him go” which typically means fired. You can do better than that. Funny, the design was one of the few in the Gawker empire that I liked. Now I’m not sure which of your generic, overlapping sites I’m on. I guess I’ll just have to deal. How many photoshop filters had to throw up before you got that logo treatment? It may be the single most ugly thing I have ever seen in my life, and I just saw the “Naked Jen” flickr set from Dave Winer. Oh, and IBM just called from 1955, they want their Courier font back. The new site design sucks balls. As for Nick leaving, it COULD be a breath of fresh air (I grew tired of reading The Michael Arrington and Jason Calcanis Show), but you’re already on thin ice due to the less than forthcoming nature of the announcement. well, it was a nice ride. ass design + letting go of your most valuable asset + renewed focus on crap people care even less about = removal from my daily web surfing routine. best of luck to both of you Nicks! Before Spiers stopped talking to me, she once offered advice about the prospect of working for Denton or Calacanis: (I’m paraphrasing here) “It’s the old lesser of two evils thing, but at least with Jason you’re gonna get someone who is completely honest and won’t stab you in the back.” I think this post needs more context. Who is this Nick Denton person and why should we care?

Desperation is a stinky cologne. Please wipe it off and start thinking about how to repair the incompetent political party you support. Everyone would be thrilled to see that, right and left and squishy center.</p> Writing posts about selected comments in another post is llllaaaame. Desperation is a stinky cologne.

The dems DID win by supporting moderate Canidates (could Jim Webb, or Bob Casey be counted as Democrats any year but this one?) If I was a repub, I would be very happy indeed. Pro gun, anti abortion dems all over the country are winning, what do you think that will do to the Dems? Remember in the old days when the strategy of the american communists was not to fight another party, but to join it, take it over, and change it from the inside?</p> Deb, Deb, Deb, you should be celebrating this little vitory, while you can.

How sad for you. What's even sadder is how tonight, Repubs are claiming moderate Dems as winners. You all are too funny as you grasp for straws.</p> Wow, you got a ref from Instapundit and still nobody came to see your blog. How sad for you.
