Comments on: Gizmodo Sucks, Loses Credibility http://elliottback.com/wp/gizmodo-sucks-loses-credibility/ Internet & Technology Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:01:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sean http://elliottback.com/wp/gizmodo-sucks-loses-credibility/#comment-2200591 Sean Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:46:28 +0000 http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2008/01/12/gizmodo-sucks-loses-credibility/#comment-2200591 I wasn't banned by Diaz on gizmodo.com but I was banned from io9.com by Annalee Newitz for a comment that simply criticized her review of the latest Sherlock Holmes movie, which she titled "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is Gayer, Steamier, and Explodier Than Before." I simply pointed out that I had heard the same drivel about the first movie and almost didn't see it because they made it sound like the Brokeback Mountain of action movies. I guess expressing any sort of opinion that doesn't agree with the writer is now enough to get you banned on ANY of the Gawker websites. I'm done with all of them. I really hope Gawker goes completely under.

I will stop visiting their rubbish website. They banned me for daring to speak against their subtle racism! I hope you all get fired, Jizmodo-employees. Sam Biddle should never be allowed to write again! Gizmodo is a ****** rag! I will stop visiting their rubbish website.

They banned me for daring to speak against their subtle racism!

Using their new site is difficult to say the least. I can't figure out how to reply to the idiots that reply to my comments. Oh well I guess I'm just dumb. I thought that prank was childish and unprofessional. They deserve what they get for it. No amount of 'were not sorry' and more lame excuses to cover for themselves will ever be enough. They act like they don't care but inside you know they feel like complete idiots. I hope they do anyways.
