No no, it isn’t! Our commenting system, IntenseDebate, has been doing a very odd thing lately, where it takes the work of longtime, long-approved, loyal and noble commenters, and it eats it, NOM NOM NOM!
And now? When we try to “whitelist” said users (racist much, IntenseDebate?), it tells us they are “already banned.” What? No they aren’t, stupid! And then, when we try to contact “support,” it tells us there is nobody in the office for the next week, and there isn’t so much as a form to fill out. Waa waa.
SO. No, we are not deleting you. (Except for one comment today about the relative intelligence of a certain Palin; you know what you did.) And if you are deleted or frozen out, please tweet at us at @commiegirl1 and tell us your username.
We may or may not be able to help. Weejee, for instance? He has probably been lost to the mists of time, never to be seen or heard from again.
Fare-thee-well, Weej, on your dark journey to the future.
And B) who’s got a line on another fucking commenting system, please? Mama’s gettin’ ornery.
PS: Your Editrix has been going through the “deleted” comments folder and pulling comments back out of it, despite realizing that many of them would have been deleted by yourselves for various reasons. So, sorry or whatever, you know, fuck it.

Don't you know that Wonkette doesn't allow comments?
Wonkette has never allowed comments.

Whatever you do, please don't integrate Facebook comments!
Disqus seems OK maybe.
"Whatever you do, please don't integrate Facebook comments!"
500 thumbs up for that!
Infinity thumbs up!
X 1,000
I loathe Disqus. I can no longer log onto half the blogs that use it now, for reasons I'm not terribly clear on, but might be related to being colossally unfriendly with the slightly-out-of-date IE version that my work uses.
My experience trying to use Disqus with IE was that it was incredibly slllloooooow. Haven't had any problems with Disqus since I switched to using Chrome.
I loathe IE and hate the fact that it's used in work environments everywhere.
I loathe work.
Oh, that's not really the topic, was it?
How can something so true not be on-topic?
good ol' WordPress– actually I second Disqus (even though the way it's spelled always reminds me of 'disgust').
I thought that was an Olympic Events comment system?
No, that's Shoutput.
And have ever noticed how Intense Debate usually isn't very intense? That's always kind of bothered me.
Disqus works (with chrome). Silly old wordpress works.
NO FUCKBOOK, PLEEEEZE.
Another no for Facebook. Oh, god no!
Seems to be unanimous.
I see the 500 thumbs up above and raise it to infinity.
No comment, ID is everywhere.They are watching us now,beware.Artru is love! Peace,and harmony my brother. Artru is love Ahaa."He's dead Jim." Geek meter warp 9 engage!
Does mine work?
Yes it does.
Screw everybody else.
Louie Gohmert? Is that you?
Fuck all of you, I got my p-ness.
Heh, we noticed. Mr. Double Digits.
I'm sorry, but I simply don't pay attention to anyone that has been p'd on less than me.
You must be the 1% commenter.
Mitt?
tbogg, you are a real American.
Bra–fucking–VO!!
I like being able to fire techie assholes who close down their help operations for cricket season, and who aren't any help even when they're open.
You laugh, but Intense Debate was probably purchased by Bain outsourced to India.
And you guys thought that the downfisting troll sucked…
I like this Bane better.
Thanks, me too! Not even MittBorg could tell who it was on the old one.
*cough*
Comment self-redacted, bishes. BOOM!
Don't look at me. I've been tweeting, eating Twizzlers, having sex and watching golf all day.
All at the same time?
yep!
That definitely makes me want to look at you, then. It's equal parts prurient and comedic interest.
make sure all the balls…the twizzlers…oh never mind.
KYPPPS!!!!!!!!!!
Lube, I see that you are here. I guess we can stop saying that you were banned. "V" was not banned, he quit. Rebecca has NEVER banned anyone, obviously. We can put that falsehood to bed now. Rebecca also didn't take away the "downfist." That happened long before she became the owner of the website. The censor of certain words came with the website and Rebecca has nothing to do with that either. The deletion of posts is explained in Rebecca's post above. It was a hiccup of Intense Debate and had nothing to do with Rebecca and certainly, nothing to do with me. I will pause for a quick wipe of the egg on your face for the person who mentioned the banning, the deleted posts, etc.
I accept that you are here, Lube and that you have a single focus of harassing me. The only way your could offend me is if I value your opinion. You are a bully, plain and simple. You hide behind an anonymous name and your purpose is to chase me off. That's just not going to happen. I am going to post away, I am going to enjoy the company of my friends and heck, I gotta be me.
Yep, Sporto, I am going to stand and defy you and the people who built you from the spare parts from the Island of Misfit Toys. For anyone else who doesn't like what I have to say, spank your inner moppet and get the hell over it. Life is short and every moment that you spend on obsessing upon trying to run me off is a moment that you should be spending with friends, family and knowing true joy. Go and bake a pan of brownies and take them down to your local firehouse and show your appreciation. Write a letter to your grandchild and tell them some much needed life advice. Don't waste your time on me, please. Surely, you have better things to do.
Three out of four of those are Rmoney Olymprick events.
The fourth one, I want to watch.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing some twizzlers get eaten.
Not that Dewey, have you ever opened a fresh bag of strawberry Twizzlers and smelled that incredible fragrance? It's the date rape drug for those with a sweet tooth.
Careful! They can be vindictive little bastards when you chew their heads off!
Even the red ones?
Does Jeff know? (This comment is mandated by Obamacare.)
HIPA!!!
Yes, Jeff knows. The man can balance a candy dish like no one else.
Never mind where!
Oh, Chet! You know me like no one else does.
Oh my, I have an image of those plate spinners you used to see on the Ed Sullivan show.
Where is Barb? I have the feeling Romney is going to go all "game change" and pick Michele Bachmann for VP. That's too big for us to handle. We need Barb.
And don't call me sweetie, or sweetheart, or TOOTS!
OK, sugar tits.
I must make a note of that toot sweet.
Are there really 98 other commie girls? Dayam!
Actually, I can envision that, with some difficulty (I have trouble visualizing watching golf).
House-guests gone?
I think it's one of those things, like when you call home to check on the kids, and they are setting fire to the garage, playing the piano with a hammer, torturing the cat, drilling holes in the roof, and listening to some music and you ask what they're up to today, they just say, "Not much, mostly just listening to some music."
"Oh, just chillin'"
Bobbert, you don't watch golf? Please tell me that you watch other sports.
I no have teh cable, so I mostly don't watch anything. At bars, OTOH, I tend to be welded to whatever sport is showing (which is one of the reasons I don't have cable).
And, in fact, I have watched golf, but I much prefer hockey, or either kind of football.
Although, come to think of it, golf would go better with sex.
Bobbert, you will never meet a woman who loves hockey more than I do.
btw, did you comment on my sister's blog yesterday? Someone named Barb did and it was brilliant. So naturally, I thought of you
What's your sister's blog? I want to see!
Nope, I didn't comment on your sister's blog. I was busy eating M&M's, watching tennis and having sex. What is the name of your sister's blog and thanks for the compliment.
You have to fuck a LOT to work off even small handfuls of M&M's!
Almond M&M's rock! Steve, have you tried the pretzel M&M's? I'd like to meet the genius who came up with that idea.
I see. And did all the swinging and ball handling and hole inspection go OK?
I MEAN THE GOLF OF COURSE
Dammit! *grabs his "club" and walks away*
Hey Butch, who's your caddy?
That's very funny, Smut. : )
You are so lying.
I am obviously not longtime, long-approved, loyal or noble.
But beloved, yes.
Awww.
Did you notice (some threads back) when you were crowned "Queen of Hawt"?
No, really? Wow and no-one even knows what I look like, I could be a middle-aged fat man. Who crowned me that? I should fuck them.
Too bad we are "married" to others because I have a thing for witty English gals. And I like blokes.
However, maybe in our next lives?
Match made in Wonkette heaven?
I am sure you have noble blood. Let's just hope it's not in the freezer, like what I have.
By the powers vested in me as a middle aged fat man, I hereby certify that you are and have always been a longtime, long-approved, loyal and noble commenter. And hawt.
Yay for me!!! OT Mrlimeylizzie is all better now, well they had to pump him full of hormones as his thyroid basically shut down, and he is such a mad , randy horn-dog on the phone. Flying my pussy into LA on Tuesday!
Didn't you already fuck his brains out once?
Well, it was the day before he had the amnesii so I can't take full credit.
Sis, call me on Tuesday (you know the number) I will amuse you on the phone while you wait for your flight.
This is wonderful news Lizzie – best wishes to you and Mr. LL.
Set Queen Victoria rolling in her grave on Tuesday.
Sorry I'm not going to be along the flight path or I'd look up and try to snatch a peek at your snatch.
Hey, I've got a great idea. You ladies can take a picture of your privates, post them someplace and the rest of us can try to guess who's wooha is whose.
Excellent idea
SOCIALISTS!!!!
Hey it worked!?! And not 12 hours later!
+1 for iburl:
NO FACEBOOK COMMENTS!
I demand compensatory p. None of my comments have been deleted, but I'm feeling entitled.
So I'm also demanding that you sign off on my insurance forms for my mobility scooter.
Suuure. All we need is your bank account number, for security verification.
Commies! You know who else deleted user comments?
Some socialist?
HuffyPo, when monitored by a particularly cranky moderator?
ABCNews Political Forum….years ago when I was there regularly?
azcentral! I think every goddamn comment I've ever posted there was deleted.
They have non-cranky moderators?
I'm going with The Daily Crawler.
Newell and Layne wielding the banhammer
Now those were the days.
the same guy who deleted users?
Breitbart?
Too soon!
Oh no. Deleting Breitbart cannot be too soon.
No Comment!
That's good, because Wonkette doesn't allow comments.
Mamacita?
Rotten Tomatoes?
Well giving a bad review to The Dark Knight Rises has got to be the worst crime ever!
My review complaining about the level of violence during the movie was not well received.
Too soon?
Word!
Carriage Return Line Feed!
\n\r libel!
That is so zen. Perfectly, perfect. I think this is a WIN!
How do you even reply to something like that?
¿ʇɐɥʇ op noʎ op ʍoɥ
tl:dr
Damn, my last comment was deleted.
I really hope that it not, in fact, your last.
Anything but the facebook commenting system; that's the absolute worst.
Yeah Facebook is a bagoshite and no way am I reactivating my account, but what is that horrible system used by every local newspaper to lure in racist trolls from all over?
Facebook. Or maybe Yahoo.
It's great for identifying local businesses never to patronize.
Any system based on Facebook, Yahoo or Google will try to trick you into being logged in at all times so they can track you and beam annoying ads at you for something obscure you looked at one time. Additionally, they are desperate to know any and all aspects of your real identity so that they can fuck with you in other profitable ways. I especially don't want to have anything to do with Facebook, as my personal life, worklife and online comedy stylings should Not Be Touching, Ever. Jugglling dummy accounts on any of those systems just to make a dick joke would be a pain in the ass.
Don't cross the streams.
Just make up a Facebook entity in some other part of the country from where you really live and go at it. Pick the other gender, too. Then, when you get ads for feminine hygiene products, you know who's been peeking.
Disqus is quite common, I think.
Topix! ugh.
Ya know, I don't think we* need a sophisticated commenting system. "Following" people is only really useful for stalk-y trolls. Upfists are an abomination for those of us that are devoutly anticompetitive. Threading is good. I am ambivalent about how HTML-y comments should get.
*I am speaking for myself, as a user of a joke-y poop-blog of course, but anyone who wants to disagree feel free to do so below.
Following people is actually kinda nice for those of us who stay up late & want to know where other night owls are commenting… Or is that what you call 'stalking'?
Indeed? I follow some people myself, but have never really used the feature for anything.
When Wonket first went to IntenseDebate, Breitbarters would use it as a wormhole for their trans-blog fascist derping. So I may have a poor opinon for that reason…
Diurnal commenting is generally tied to which post is newest, right? Nocturnal commenting has a different ethos…
And more fapping.
I agree. That's why I don't follow anyone. (I've always worried about that, though, like "what's wrong with her? what a snob!")
I don't care about pee points, I kinda wish they're wasn't an editing feature because I edit my comments WAY too often.
You don't like comparing p-nesses?
Nice nom de guerre, there, you snob…
I'm in agreement with not being able to edit once there's a reply. If I accidentally say something I don't mean or just think of a better way to phrase (or spell) things, I like to have the option of a re-do.
I've never really worried about being p'd upon, fisted, or stalked. I don't mind the fisting option, as it is interesting to see what people like (although I am amazed that sometimes I think I write something very funny/interesting/profound and no one seems to like it, and on the other hand I just put up some throwaway gag, and I get fisted until you could fit a bowling ball up there).
Actually, I like the threading on ID. I just wish it didn't page so quickly. I do like that ID also sends me notifications of when people reply, as I always try to fist anyone who takes the time to comment on anything I say.
I love p-ness. Getting a really huge p-ness in the morning puts a spring in my step all day.
Although upfists are an abomination, I've given you one for "trans-blog fascist derping".
So there.
Intense Debate works fine for me, I like upfists, I like that there are no downfists, I like the threading and ital and blockquotes. Facebook integration would be terrible, I don't want comments here linked in any way to the real world.
I kinda miss the downfists, i got -20 one time.
Oh, baby, you are such a troll magnet. Ummm-ummm…
Fucking troll magnets, how do they work?
Do you remember what your comment was that got -20? You must have said you "kinda like Aaron Sorkin" or something.
It was either defending Michael Vick or when I got into it with Chet & others about the word "plantation."
Yeah this is fine. I occasionally have a hard time following the long long long threads, but that is nothing compared to the Kinja shitshow over on gawker.
Yes.
Wait – there's a real world?
Cephelopodia.
Cephalotopia.
You have my upfist.
"I don't want comments here linked in any way to the real world."
What you said. Oh, and the rest of it, too.
"…I don't want comments here linked in any way to the real world."
Yeah, of course not.
Incidentally, if you go to a Wonket meet-up, are you expected to reveal your identity or not?
At SF, it was pretty much first name and moniker.
I did, but then again I was trying to convince the Editrix to sleep with me, WHICH DID NOT WORK I MIGHT ADD HARUMPH.
Haha #liar.
I assume it's strictly optional, but with the dark cloaks and concealing masks, there's probably no real obligation.
In Seattle, most people had their real names, about half had their nom d' web on their tag.
I would claim a fake Wonkette name, and then get really drunk and make an ass of myself. Okay, Or at least the second part.
I'm with Chester; I don't think I've ever used a commenting system better than this one, despite it's quirks and flaws.
The only thing I really miss is not being able to post pics, and the subsequent withdrawal of some brilliant shit by certain commenters *coughserolfdivadcough*.
I like ID. I used to have it installed on my own blog but then got a virus and got rid of everything not completely necessary. But I think the admin can enable uploading images, just like where the admin can enable downfisting. Could be misremembering…
I used to have it installed on my own blog but then got a virus
You gotta be koi-ful about stuff like that, hmm?
Now you all have to listen to what I say, and you can't talk back ! Hahaha…
Um, yeah, I got nothing.
I feel like a wus not being among the banned… I suppose I can always make a joke about he-who-must-not-be-named being r****ded, or I will lose all hipster cred…
John Boehner?
That's exactly who I had in mind ;)
tiptoes…
whispers… comment?
tiptoes away to submit comment…
Edit: Clap, clap, it likes me. For now.
Is Matt Mullenweg a darksider?
We can comment? Who knew?
Today, we are all master (intense) debaters.
I just got back from my master (intense) debate break. Refreshing.
You say that as if it makes today different, or special.
Yes, but are they tasty?
I am all for IntenseDebate swallowing commenters.
Who doesn't like swallowing?
Commenters, of course. Commenters whose comments disappear, amirite?
(taps finger on lips while thinking)
wait a second. you guys are talking about something else aren't you?
For all values of IntenseDebate equal to Our Editrix, I agree.
Better than spitting.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to facebook comments!
Today, we are all already banned.
How will this affect my p rating?
Whatever you do, Wonkette, please don't switch over to the commenting system on Jezebel. Damn thing constantly is a hassle to deal with.
Oh, and fuck Facebook, also, too.
+1.
What is it with the Gawker Media commenting system? It's like they actively enjoy not having readers.
You may be on to something there. Would that be hipster? (I'm too old to think about this shit).
It was pretty horrible anyway, I mean the commenting, not the system itself. I saw someone getting accused of "bad sarcasm" today for making a nobamacare joke in reference to the denver shootings. They jumped on him for being a troll, and then for it being "bad sarcasm" because apparently all humor always has to actually be true in order to be funny?
the only gawker site that people actually are funny on is deadspin, and well unfortunately it is about sports. And I would rather stick my dick in the food processor than go through the jez comments.
I just checked gawker.com because I didn't know how the commentin' there works now. I very rarely visited it much since they did their "remodeling" job last year. God, you're right….only 5 options to sign in and fb is one of them.
Gawker turned into something bad after their editor change last year.
In Soviet Union, comments delete you!
You mean you missed that comment where I said I was bequeathing my entire estate to Wonkette? Oh well….
No, we all saw it. We just know how much a Wonketeer's estate is worth.
Carton of Reds and a used condom?
Plus a fifth of rotgut. Don't forget the fifth.
; )
The Hemingway of threads.
I was actually thinking this is sort of the Emily Dickinson of posts.
"Because I could not stop to comment
Comments kindly stopped for me."
The John Cage of Threads.
I checked with the Willard outlet store, the Deseret branded one and all ill suited posts are to be self deported over to TPM..
Since my comments are meant to please only myself, iss all good to me. I'm totally happy once I hit "Submit Comment", I don't give a fuck what happens after that.
That has such a nice healthy glow of mental health and high self-esteem. I think I'm a little jealous.
The truth is, if ignorance were bliss, I would be in a continuous state of ecstasy.
You are like the Buddha of commenting.
I have the “Do”.
***flush***
Fluch twice, it's a long ways to McDonalds.
I am a little curious- given the volume of my comments that have been swallowed & regurgitated many hours later- if there's a browser connection? I'm using Safari 5.1.7…
Same browser here, and it's only happened to me a couple of times. I'm kinda more pissed about the Random Logout "feature."
I couldn't stay logged in for more than a minute or 2 using Firefox, so it's Safari for me. Maybe I should give Chrome another try?
Chrome is working just fine for me.
I gave up on firefox. Chrome is good so far.
I think it is related to the intensity of the FBI's interest. For example, with me it was only if I used the word "socialist." Otherwise, I was fine.
You must be on someone's shit list.
That post of yours with the socializing thread? It did seem to be VERY determined to keep out teh soshalizm. Several of us were commenting in the shelter of another thread on the same page that we weren't allowed to make any socialism puns…
It is only this line of discussion that has made me realize that "socialism" contains "cialis". Talk about controlling the means of reproduction.
HA!
Very unlikely, having filtering done clientside would be terrible design, and the server doesn't give a rat's ass what browser you're using.
I had a comment rejected because I objected–tongue in cheek–to the foul language of another commentor. The fouler language the better I guess….
You bet your #%*^$%@*^$%&%, it is!
The comments I've had 'disappeared' have mostly been innocuous. The phenomenon seems to be genuinely random, & not at all related to content.
That's exactly right, va
Hi, Becca….I took some painkillers for a migraine and am feeling all warm and fuzzy, so I'm just going to sit here and crush on you a little, d'ya mind?
Swoooonnnn…..
From what I hear, it sounds like Intense Debate is the worst commenting system, except for all the others. I hope they can figure out the 'approval needed' glitch, though.
I had several comments eated a few weeks ago, but none since the SF meetup. Did I finally pass my BI?
"not at all related to content."
Ah, this explain Michele Bachmann.
Silly kittens. The cheek is not the right place for the tongue.
Ha! Now that you mention it, my kibble has tasted off flavor lately.
Well, fuck me blind, what the fuck were you thinking, dumbass motherfucker?
Maybe we could all just communicate with ink and paper?
Cool. Then we'd all need owls like in Harry Potter, to deliver our missives to one another.
I like owls.
"Only when the dusk starts to fall does the owl of Minerva spread its wings and fly."
–Hegel
But be careful. Once night falls, all cows are black.
I liked them better when one didn't live over my mother in law's house and poop all over the steps.
Can I have a snow owl like Harry? They should be summering up on the Snohomish right now.
I've started just writing responses with a Sharpie on my monitor screen. So far, so good.
I'm going to call in my responses with my trusty 40 lb. rotary dial.
I took my grown daughter to visit her great aunt. She was awestruck by the weight of her aunt's old Bakelite rotary dial.
And if you had to do a lot of calling you'd have to keep switching fingers as the holes chafed the edges of your fingers right at the base of the nail. Gee, the old days were great.
No deletions yet, eh?
Or smoke signals. Herbal smoke signals.
Let me get home from work, and we can do some good old commenting together.
You mean writin' by hand and not a 'puter?
Well, I'm fucked then. I stopped writing in cursive as soon as I learned it. And my print is so bad that I'm the only person who can read it.
Can we use faggot? Like that little Palin fuck? Kids say the darndest things don't they? Especially when it isn't edited out of a teevee show. It's so fucking cute. These kids today. Awww.
Apparently.
That kid is a total fucking douchebag already. He doesn't even have to become one.
Terrible twos. Having a camera crew around 24/7 is just what he needs.
Probably grabs the camera screaming "Mine! Mine! Mine!" until Mommy Bristol distracts him with a Little Debbie and can of Mountain Dew.
Wait! If we switch systems, does that mean I get a p-score redemption? Thank you, Tosh.0!
I'm still here (I think) and haven't lost any comments to The Void. Either I'm lucky or I haven't been Naughty enough.
I've gotten used to IntenseDebate and kind of like it, if it can be properly de-bugged.
Please, whatever you do, don't switch over to whatever the Breitbart site horde uses. We'll have to deal with an avalanche of awful angry fools that will make this place impossible, if they can wander over here easily.
I thought the Breitbart sites use IntenseDebate too; wasn't that the reason for all the trolls Back In The Day?
Mr. A-n-d-e-r-s-o-n,
we believe your commenting here at Wonkette has now been terminated.
Thank You,
Agent Smith
I think I see the blog through the mist. Is that light up ahead the Wonkette or am I in serious trouble here? Please pee on me at least once so I know I'm still on this side of the divide.
Do you see Carol Anne in there?
Consider yourself peed on.
thanks bobbert
Delete THIS, you commie!
Delete , you commie!
Delete you commie!
Delete commie!
Is this why I couldn't sully Wonkettia with the name of a well-known English metaphysical poet the other day?
That could have Donne it.
Call me Blake-ly.
Hey, I've got vodka. All's good here.
Speaking for myself only, of course, this is good news, since all of my comments have just been practice in hopes of one day writing a comment worth keeping.
I'm just going to wait until somebody posts a good comment, and then cut and paste it as if it were my own.
Fuck, I neglected to cut and save the original.
HEHHHNG??
The only comments of mine that went to moderation were two (2) links to an 80s/90s Ann Magnuson art-rock thingy (whose name I don't dare repeat, for fear of being banned), and a link to a Russian punk-rock band video. All were restored within ~3 hours, so I didn't sweat it.
Bongwater?
Absolutely. "Nick Cave Dolls", to be exact. I think the link contained the album title, which shares a word with the Russian punk-rock band, and that is what led to the comment moderation.
Why, are/were you a fan?
Mr B is out of town, and I can't find anyone to have an affair with. So I just mosey on down to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to look at all the satyrs with hardons.
Brilliant.
Free Pussy Riot!!!
That's the one!
Don't sweat it, you could never hate me as much as I hate myself. Sniffle sniffle…
Awww, hug? (If you will take one from a dude.)
Don't tell me what I can and can't do!
I was starting to worry you found out I am really Spanky2
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" point and vocalization!
AAAAaaaaaAAAAAAaaaayyyyAAAAAAAAAAA!
2b or not 2b?
None of my comments have been deleted which is a shame because I post almost exclusively while plastered. I don't know how you people put up with me.
Well, by doctors orders, I am on vodka too.
IF I STOP DRINKING I COULD DIE!1!!
You put out easier when drunk.
Oh whoops, you weren't supposed to know that.
Yeah but there's a tipping point there pal, if I drink way too much my post won't submit at all.
So when are we hanging out?
I'm gonna go ahead and ban myself. To be honest, the quality of the site has dropped dramatically, and though I agree that some comments are beyond reprehensible, they are still the thoughts and feelings of that particular person at that particular time and don't deserve to be deleted by anyone who feels the uncontollable urge to censor free speech. In summation, I miss Ken, Jack, Sara and Weejee. Later 'tards. Getcher skullfucks on.
Really? I explain that the SYSTEM is doing it, RANDOMLY, and you take that as my censoring you?
Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
You've busted your ass to improve this website and it shows (on the website, not your ass, that was always good). Never thought I'd read someone bemoaning the glory days of Jack Stueff.
No shit – Jack wasn't funny in the first place, his monumental eff-up post wasn't funny, and his cryptic goodbye left all us thinking wonkett was goin' down for good.
We still love you mumble snort zzzzz…..
I was going to say, "upfists for the ass", but I thought better of it.
To be fair, I never intended to offend anyone and in that regard I failed, and for that I apologize. I realize the system is at fault and I recognize your hard work, but I stand by my opinion, as misdirected as it was. I miss the down fist, the user-controlled version of "fuck off". It allowed us, the Wonkeratti, to police our own backyard. It allowed for us to say, even to the most highly regarded, "that was uncalled for", or that the comment simply lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. But to come to a site that for some of us was the only outlet for our frustrations and grievances against the powers that be, and find that a major reason that we visit is now being monitored by persons clearly not up to the task of dealing with snark, is truly disappointing. I do not hold you responsible and I have enjoyed your work, but I simply cannot abide a system that works against me. I truly do love you all, you have helped me through dark days, and I will visit often, but if CalamityJames is to be silenced, it will be his decision. Thanks for the mammeries!
No, sorry, I'm not letting that slide. You fucking read it wrong, or you wilfully misconstrued it. Either way, you're still trying to act like I'm fucking censoring you. The downfist was gone A LONG TIME before I bought this hellhole, and my "monitoring" consists of rescuing comments thrown away by the automatic system put in place by the last guys.
Who's not up to the task of dealing with snark? Me? Are you still not getting that the only deleting that is going on is by a fucking automated robot? That I am trying to fucking fix for your whiny, pity-wallowing, drama queen vagina?
Fuck yourself. Get the fuck out before I do it for you.
Love,
Becca
No no no, Rebecca. Again, my words left a lot to be desired. I do not for a second think that you are censoring us, and i am sorry that was the impression I gave. I know that the down fist was gone long before you arrived, and I understand the efforts that you are making, they were clear from the post. I can't for the life of me express the words properly, and you are right to be upset. My opinion, as difficult as it is to tell, was not about you. I fucked that up. It is the system, whether the randomness of the last week, or the ban hammer over its existence is the one who has me up in arms. Again, I cannot begin to correct myself or humble myself to you enough., so I will stop embarrassing myself.
Having done this once myself, I suggest you reconsider.
(BTW, weejee isna gone, just sleeping).
That's what they told me about my childhood cat. {sob}
That's a shame. I'm glad my childhood cat is just out playing at the farm.
You do realise that Weejee is still here, right?
Just FYI.
I had a comment deleted recently but it was kind of bad and I would have felt bad if anyone had actually read it so it's probably for the better and I don't feel like it would have contributed anything to the world and—uhhhh, where was I going with this…Is it time to drink yet? This week has sucked balls.
Am I the only one who sees a clown head in that bomb cloud?
Maybe I just see it because of my two greatest childhood fears: clowns and nuclear annihilation?
Bozo is there alright. Just like the lichen Jebus on the side of a tree at the Woodland Park Zoo. Now Mrs. weejee and I were lichen Jebus after enjoying the Ziggy Marley concert last night, but hey could there ever be a more likely time to see doG?
I thought you were dead?
He gets that a lot.
Cerbozorus?
Can I have WeeJee's stuff?
My Tricky Dicky kazoo?????
Aw. And all this time I thought I was being controversial. :(
As a web developer myself, I have to say I'm truly appalled by the state of commenting systems and have long thought about writing one myself. Don't have much in the way of available time for it, is the problem, plus my main expertise is in non-free development platforms (ASP.NET+SQL Server)
Anyway, most important of all: Please, for the love of FSM, do not, and I repeat, do not, under any circumstances, even think of maybe considering the possibility of switching to LiveFyre. That shit stinks to high heaven, and will have everyone singing IntenseDebate's praises within about 12 nanoseconds of it being installed.
At a guess, this explains why I've never heard of it.
Well it is a good thing I only post painfully dull comments. I might have been blocked.
On the other hand, your av pic is fabulous. Have you met DerrickWildcat?
It's just a bird buddy. Calm down. I don't think most folks recognize it or know why I chose it. *sigh*
Everybody here knows a Eudocimus ruber when they see one — and there's no "why" that we're not cool with.
A scientific name isn't what I was worried about. Nor the question of someone being 'cool' with why I used the picture. Symbols symbol symbols…
I don't like change!
So, does this mean that when I used the R-word a couple of times in that post where the R-word was used 47 times, that was just a coincidence?
Like most other folks, I don't want sweet sweet Wonkette to have anything to do with that dirty boy Facebook. Mostly due to my own ineptitude, and some random weirdness that occured w/ Intense Debate on another website I inhabit, I have achieved an unintended wordpress/ID/twitter fusion then mitosis that has resulted in having *two* ID profiles and a seeming inability on my part to keep track of which is which/ or give a crap about which is which. Changing would certainly solve that. Everyone on said other site has been having Intense Debate issues.
This makes sense now. I've been trying since yesterday to figure out why a pretty nondescript comment I made got deleted. Thank you for the clarification.
I think they just deleted my witty comment about that girrl band Putin has in jail performing the Star Spangled Banner at the Republican National Convention opening ceremony.
NEVER FEAR, I SHALL RESCUE IT.
That was the same thing that I linked to, and commiegirl rescued that. And the comment was barely worth rescuing. Have no fear.
This is a test — this is only only a test — Pussy Riot
Oh, no wonder! i feel loved again.
I say we go old-old-old school, and start a #wonkette IRC channel for commenting.
Yes, young ones, the sacred pound-sign was once used for something other than Twitter.
/quit "Bye for now!"
I tried creating a CompuServe Wonkette forum, but something seems to be wrong with my account.
Pshaw! We know you already gave 10% of it to the church anyway.
I consider any missing comments to be "Raptured", leaving the rest of the poor unsaved ones behind.
Man it would suck if I couldn't leave comments at Wonkette. I suppose it would suck for others, too, but it's not like I read the comments. I mean, c'mon.
Are you Naked Bunny With a Whip?
Ayup.
No Facebook. I simply will not mix that up. Oh I know allll about Facebook.
Fortunately the solution has been posted in today's XKCD: wait for the singularity. http://xkcd.com/1084/
Hey, while we are having a bitch fest, can I say that while I appreciate the new Wonkette logo, it does sort of call attention to itself at work. And not in a good way.
Ha Yeah…you gotta admit she looks damn good though. Hey! You're not at work right now!
Ditto to that. If I'm going to get fired for Wonkette, I'd at least like to have tits involved.
Rebecca- as CEO, President and sole stockholder of Intense Debate, LLC, I apologize for there inconveniances. Currently I am running the London Olympics and cannot help you. No one else is employed by the company, my apologies. It was conceived as a shell corporation and not meant for actual use. I will try to fix the problem this fall. Best, Wilfred Brimley Miscavige Heber Intense III.
I can haz comments?
longtime, long-approved, loyal and noble commenters
Well that rules me out… *SOB*
So if we get a new comment system, how many ameros can I trade all my pee points for?
Don't panic: my comments aren't missing, you guys: I've just been away for a few days!
… what do you mean, "Who are you?"
So right.
Yes, and more fapping…
Hi.
It was Wednesday, when Fukui-San declared that he was re-taking the United States on behalf of the Queen, that I petitioned the Crown to grant you a Title Of Nobility in honor of our rejoining the Commonwealth and your birthday. It was Blueb4sunrise who named your Coat Of Arms.
I was named interim governor of Canada, aka north north Dakota, in the same thread. It is quite an honor.
Oh we all know what you look like (in our imaginations).
—- extremely middle-aged fat man
Wait, your avatar is not an actual picture of you?
Oh Goody, we can do the buggery!
I like the idea of a limited number of edits, like maybe the fourth time you try to edit, it would give you that blue box with a message like, "Stop it, psycho!".
I would actually love the option to edit posts after we get replies. That way, I could say something heartfelt and insightful and get a ton of supportive agreements, and then I could change my comment to read, "LOL I love eating butts. Does anyone else?" and troll everyone that way.
Actually, wait, that's a reason not to have that feature, isn't it.
Got a strap-on with your name on it, babe.
Sadly I wish I could take credit for naming you Queen of Hawt, but alas t'was not me. I'd still hit it all night and call it the next morn, I would.
Really– they should have just called it Commenting System.
Well, it used to be, before the demise of the downfist button.
Which part?
Oh, wait.
Hey hey, don't ruin my cred. I got a reputation heeya.
lol!
(actually you could really do some damage with that comment, like refer to the Holocaust.)
Nah- you'd probably get even more supportive comments if you started out with butt-eating comments.
Quit reading my mind.
I meant to suggest back at your ascension to the Governorship that you might consider renaming North Dakota as Baja Canada.
Just a thought.
And I remain untitled? FUCK YOU YOU"RE ALL BANNED.
That sounds good, you have the power, I am just a figurehead of Hawtness.
That's … just …. tranquil.
I'm still settling into my position of "Secretary of the Food, Drugs,Alcohol, Fun and Maritime Pub Inspection Agency. " There's a lot of paperwork and a lot of Maritime Pubs.
I think I have the time to commission an Honorary Drink for our very own Queen of Hawt, though. Non- Alcoholic, of course.
The Lizzie Fizzy.
No idea of the constituents yet, though I was going to use this as a base:
Black & Blue Berries recipe:
1 cup berries
1 cup soda water
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
Place all ingredients into a blender jar. Cover, and whiz on medium speed until well blended. Pour into a Collins glass, and serve.
Because shut up is how… Duh!
How about "Lady Cutie Of The Barstool"?
You'll have to petition Lord Fukui-San. I have the paperwork in my desk, but I'm far too drunk to forge his signature. I had to "inspect" 5 Maritime Pubs today.
As we are already a fairly debauched (that's a word, right?) form of government, I take bribes in cash, goods and sexual favors. There are positions open in both Alberta and Prince Edward Island.
What? "Mom" isn't enough?
Indeed. And necessary today.
Thanks, that sounds delicious.
Needz moar gin.
You're welcome. Feel free to experiment & embellish to your personal taste.
Let me know what you come up with, if you do!
This comment was retroactively never posted.
Oh yeah it was.
Sorry, but you've already been written into my own personal mythology as the woman who literally fucked her husband's brains out. Glad he's better, though.
Like.
Better her than Sylvia, that fucking drama queen.
I actually have always thought of it as the nocturnal fapping has more commenting, but maybe that is just me.
Yes! I got my koi fish done, just been too lazy to post it. I'll be alerting you when I do.
Edit: Had any good cake donuts lately?
For our purposes it should be CommieSistem.
What are "Words…worth"? ♪ (Happy Friday)~
This comment is ret—-d and not in italics.
well now I feel bad and I apologize for being a snarling twat-hammer. But please keep in mind, the alternative to not having a system is a thousand Cialis spams for every comment, and Breitbarters.
I have been meaning to follow up w/ you about that.
good cake donuts
Funny you asked! There is some soirée tonight featuring a 'signature' donut assemblage prepared for the event. Custom-made from Dixie; I didn't get a chance to see what the signature thing was decorated like. I'm picturing these donuts getting and dolled up and promenaded like they were at a cotillion.
Don't feel bad, my original post deserved a million down fists. I'm clearly not the journalist (or high school graduate for that matter) in the room. I didn't mean to imply that the former Wonk-staff was superior, I just meant that era of Wonkette was preferred, primarily for the limited audience. You have clearly improved the site, whereas in it's "heyday" we were lucky to get 250 views for an article. I'm no Wonker-elite like Barb, LimeyLizzie, MumblyJoe or Mittbot, but I have been here a while and I have seen the many faces come and go. Your current staff is impeccable and any inference I made to the contrary was irresponsible and regrettable. So please, do not feel bad for protecting yourself and your staff. I was wrong.
And now I not only won't ban you my own self, but I also hope you won't go. You don't have to be commenter "elite" (BURN THEM!) or a high school graduate as long as you type such very kind things at me. In fact, you are probably my favorite now.
SUCK IT EVERYONE ELSE.
Fuck, it's really hot. :(
Tonight is the donuts' debutante ball! (shh! don't tell them they're gettin' all dressed up to be eaten). I should stop talking donuts now since I'm doing good not eating sugar lately. Cake donuts are so good.
Read something funny on the "Selection of Mangini Studio Series image" recently…. here it is: http://goo.gl/5eUsg . I like that guy's style.
And now begins the awkward situation wherein I attempt to backtrack on my idiocy like nothing ever happened. On the upside, that still makes me better than Huggy-bear Gohmert.
Like what ever happened? What are you talking about? Why do you keep making shit up? Freak.
Neilist?
I'd have hit that, though. Even though she kicked when I was only 10.
There's a stake in your fat black heart
And the villagers never liked you.
They are dancing and stamping on you
They always knew it was you.

Delicious and awful. (Did I do this right?)
1024015, you just fed my inner "Martha Stewart" That is just simply awesome, thanks for sharing this.
Yes, you did it right and I appreciate your input.
Figurehead. Is that what the kids in the French Underground are calling it these days?
I want to hump every single one of you.
Yes. Whiskey would work, also. LL, being a Known Teetotaler will have to settle for the original recipe but we don't.
I had no idea there was Gin in Hell. I thought it was all MD 20/20 all the time.
And calling in to win radio contests? Knowing that everybody else's parents had a fancy push button phone?
Well, get on it! Or get off it so we can see it. Whatever applies.
Of course, you'd have to post them and wait to tell the rest of us where until you got enough pictures so it's not obvious who posted them. If it was just you and Barb, we'd all have a hard, er, difficult time guessing.
I had a weird knack for winning those way back when (with a rotary dial, of course).
Correct … to the extent that there's no gin for our clients.
Glad to see that you still run a tight ship. So to speak.
I'm going as Biff. Totes.
Feel the Biffitude!
Hooray for you deleted5554996. Um, but, um, I don't want you to be deleted.
