Shattuck: Sleazy internet bully finally gets its comeuppance
The Boston Herald ^ | June 11, 2016 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 06/11/2016 9:07:41 AM PDT by calvincaspian

“Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy.”

Those words were the most positive assembly of pixels to have ever appeared on the smear site and are reason for all of us to celebrate.

Gawker finally got theirs yesterday. After years of gossip-terrorism and vile internet bullying — all masquerading under the guise of journalism — someone finally put a knife in the wretched, pablum Orc once and for all.

So are you happy about gay people getting slaughtered today, or are you excited because it might be terror? Inquiring minds want to know.

You guys are missing the point.

It is not gay lifestyle that we are defending. It was the privacy to live your life.

And to answer your question: No. I find the lifestyle to be abhorrent. I’ve know plenty of people who are gay. In my profession, they are all around (I was a photographer.). But their choice of sex partner never came up in the workplace. They never tried to recruit me or hit on me.

But, they should have the right to live their life without being outed by some douchebag tabloid. Just as I don’t care what YOU do in the bedroom. Unless someone is getting hurt or abused. But that applies to Priests, abusive husbands, rape and any other type of criminal act.

You’re the one who sounds excited.

Gives you something to beat your breasts about, right?

This is who your "buddies" are reeducating while you're being a SJW for their "rights".

Oh, so it’s OK for me to peek into your bedroom and tell the world you watch midget porn?

Just checking. Because that is what you are fending.

You are so righteous you cannot even see the problem here. And what are you doing on your computer. I would think you would be in Orlando trying to “catch” the ones who got away.

Your views are disgusting.

Not at all.

I just think that our creator will judge us enough.

Your rhetoric of hate will not look good on that day.

I only hope that when you get there, I can watch as you are yelled at for being a racist douche. Because that is the best that will happen to you.

So why all the venomous talk from you?

Something stuck in your craw? Or someone?

Your yardstick is too warped to be measuring anyone’s morals. And since you chose to get personal, I’ll tell you candidly your heterosexuality wouldn’t stand a walk from one end of a lockerroom to the other. That’s an honest view.

Your Secret Service code name is “Smallpox Blanket”. Have a fabulous day.

Oh yeah. M<y wife and several kids will be shocked to find out I am a closet homo.

You know, you seem to spend so much time worrying about what everyone else does you are probably not even taking care of business in your own life.

Usually I find those so focused on the queer life, usually have those “urges” themselves. So, you must be thrilled of what happened today. Got yourself a fag woodie don’t ya?

Oh that is clever. You must have been a hoot in your school days back when FDR was in charge.

You probably need your Depends changed, so I will not bother you any more today. You have enough to do.

A Vegas bookie would risk a few grand that your wife won't be totally surprised. Women tend to know which direction your pupils are pointing.

Well, don't wet yourself, girlfriend.

You lost your temper and the argument.

So what's new?

So true.

Breaking wineglasses, throwing plates.

Nasty hissing & slapping fights, etc.

But the make-ups are even worse.

Are you forgetting exactly what “gay,” is? For you to use the phrase “violation of human decency” in defense of sodomy is indicative of just how far we’ve fallen.

Looks like the Orlando ISIS shooter agreed with you, just exactly as I pointed out yesterday.

You're not unique, you know. Many people in history have used religion to deny the humanity of homosexuals. It's a step - and a very important one. Because once it's done, those deprived of human consideration can be murdered - just like shooter did in Orlando. That's WHY I mentioned ISIS yesterday, connected to your rejection of human decency towards homosexuals. I wasn't "guessing" where words like yours lead - history is very clear.

So the question now is whether the blood of fifty-three butchered people will make you reconsider whether you are actually following the teachings of Jesus, or of ISIS.

The blood of the dead demands you be confronted with this. Because in your heart you helped kill them by denying them their humanity. So if you're not feeling shame, you're wrong. Those are dead human beings - and your disgust doesn't change that a bit. But it does help people kill them.

When ISIS agrees with you, your moral certitude has gone off the tracks.

You guys are missing the point. It is not gay lifestyle that we are defending. It was the privacy to live your life.

And the point you're missing is the act of sodomy is a BEHAVIOR, not a genetic characteristic that separates one people from another. As I said before, you are trying to defend a crime such as child molestation by labelling it as "private." You do this through the rubric of "consent," as if conspiracy were not criminal, or someone who likes to burn things is A-Okay as long as he doesn't damage persons or property (a slippery slope indeed). If you find the gay lifestyle abhorrent, my question is "why?" On what basis are you critical of it?

Please define “deny the humanity” and cite an example of my doing such.

Ok, that’s where you go off the tracks.

I am not defending hurting children.

I am not suggesting that buggery is a lifestyle I condone.

But I no more care about this guys behavior in his own home than I do yours. Was he a pedophile? Any proof of that? You are making leaps in your mind that simply don’t exist.

Why is that so difficult to comprehend?

I am done discussing this. Obviously you don’t want to think beyond what your Koran says. Just take them up to the top of the nearest apartment building and toss them. What does your savior think about THAT behavior?
