Seeing as though we’re all posting to a public space, it has some similarities, but yes, definitely a smaller scale. Some people who are not internet famous here have already felt the heat, whether warranted or unwarranted. Gawker has put some random people on their page, and 99% of them take a beating from the commenters. You never know…

Speaking of which, I don’t know what you did to get people mad, but from my two minutes seeing that griping, I would say the gripes on you are unwarranted. I really have no idea what happened there.

[Tumblr grr: You can’t reblog a photo post as a text post, thereby killing the photo.]

True, good point. I see what you’re saying. What I’ve learned recently is that you don’t have to do anything out of line to have haters. I mean, “out of line” is purely subjective, but you know what I’m saying. Very true about Gawker, but you don’t need to be a Hitler of the Interweb to be treated like one by jackass commenters. So if you can’t control it, I figure why censor yourself. Nobody’s getting rich of this thing (other than the obvious ppl), so let’s all just have some fun.

Thanks for saying that. The official word from JGH is that there’s no legit reason for the gripes.
