    To my knowledge, she never stopped defending it. At the very least, she didn't go into hiding and ignore it, hoping it would just go away. In that regard, she's got a leg up on Hannan and Erdely.

    I see Jessica Pressler couldn't resist making her Twitter account public again after getting smug, storming off in a huff, taking in private when she was unable to convince people she wasn't duped those two high school kids in the Bronx who claimed they made $72 million in stock market in their spare time.

    That one really is ROFLMAO. When the one kid admitted he made it up, he said he didn't make ANY money. They are hs kids. Wouldn't you at least think if they made even 10 mil, they'd have some things to show off. About 90% of 1st rounders in the NBA and NFL let everyone know they have money just by looking at them. Did she think these kids were so mature that they wouldn't have any obvious displays of wealth.

    Remember, she said it didn't matter if it was true or not because NY Mag was not a financial publication, and that it could kind of be satire since the theme of the issue was "Why We Love New York."

    It's the reason you do it that makes it stalkerish.

    Well, he has nothing to worry about.

    It's not like I'm some gun nut, who owns 76 guns.

    There was a lot of that going around last year at this time. We were brow beaten, as well, by the assertion that it didn't matter if the "Rolling Stone" piece was true - what mattered was that it brought rape culture to light. There was also a cottage industry of pieces about the troubling implications of the fact that, whether they were right or not, people would want to question the story to begin with.

    I don't know where that happened, but it certainly didn't happen here, to my knowledge.

    Here, there was a distinct feeling of, "this pile of shit article is going to do a lot of harm to an issue that shouldn't be set back, all because some dingbat reporter had an axe to grind."

    No, not here. Places like Jezebel and elsewhere on the Interwebs. YF could probably rattle off the names.

    No he can't. He's counting Inky's 76 guns. Or maybe it's just 68 guns.
