How To Talk About Gawker Without Linking Gawker
— Ace

Gawker, a meritless hit-whoring hype site written by, and written for, the dim and the malignant, decided they weren't getting enough attention and published another list of legal gun owners, these located in Manhattan. (The last attention-shriek by the small no-account newspaper published names and addresses of those in Westchester County.)

Ann Althouse links the story without linking Gawker, instead linking the Daily Mail talking about Gawker's latest calculated attention-seeking outrage.

Which is, as Instapundit says, the right way to do it.

The list of people who are quite certain they are worthy of your attention grows daily.

For God's sake, Gawker isn't even original about it. They just do the same damn thing someone did last week, and try to dress it up as novel.

I have an idea: Sites that do this, that do nothing but Search Engine Optimization sort of crap, should just implement a fully automated system, no human thinking involved. Why be dishonest about things? Just straight up take human thought officially out of the process. At least then we'll have a computer to blame, and we'll be spared of having to feel embarrassed for a human.

13 On the actual topic, how hard would it be to simply restrict this information from public view?

In other words, can NY State pass a law protecting the names and personal information of its legal gun owners?

One would hope so.

Posted by: JDTAY at January 09, 2013 06:56 AM (a0nis)

You know, someone said 'Hey, why don't we publish a list of names and addresses of people on welfare?' Isn't that just as much of a public record?

I've kinda come around to thinking that would be a pretty good idea after all. Include the WiC program, Food stamps, and all other direct government assistance. Especially higher education assistance and grants.

The justification would be that it would enlist the general public to help police the rampant fraud in the programs. In my own case, after I bought my current house, I got several denial letters addressed to the prior occupants turning down assistance. They were certainly not poor, yet they still applied for handout programs. (I also got periodic mailings from overseas jewlers and custom tailors.)

Someone on 'The Hill' was yacking that gun owners 'voluntarily' gave their personal info to the government, so that meant they could do whatever they wanted with it. Wouldn't that 'logic' hold true for people 'voluntarily' signing up for handouts?

If taxpayers could identify who in their neighborhood was getting handouts that obviously didn't need it (racetrack and stripclub ATMs anyone?) perhaps we <I>could</I> get a handle on the out of control entitlement spending. The Left is always going on about de-stigmatizing assistance, what better way to do that than to identify all the people who've fallen on hard times and need some help?

57 Deadspin wasn't always affiliated with that rag. Not to sound too much like a hipster, but it was much better as a local sports blog in philly. This is what pisses me off about the left, there is no sanctuary from their asininity. They inject their idiot worldview into every aspect of life. Thats why we have sports and video game blogs saturated with boring knee jerk leftist assumptions. That is the thing we need to change, we have to end their control of the culture at large.

[pedantry]You cannot blaspheme a religion. Blasphemy is the claim to be God (or the object of some specific religion.

BackwardsBoy, EXACTLY. It's what we need to do and keep doing, Alinsky the hell out of them. Even if they don't get the message themselves, hopefully someone else will point out the blatant hypocrisy.

Either the idea is wrong, or it is not. We need to nip this whole "everything we opposed under Bush is a-okay under SCOAMF" thing as quickly as possible. Letting it go for four years was a mistake. The Repubs (or somebody) needs to get out there and point out every contradiction, every blatant lie, and every self-serving "evolution" of Obama and the Leftists. Punch back twice as hard, and after a few bloody noses, they should slink back into their slimy lairs. We've left them alone too long, and its emboldened them.

Let's start with Gore. How fucking dare he ever open his mouth about Climate Change again, since he was happy to take oil money for his TV channel. And ... with that $100 million payoff, isn't he richer than eeevil Mitt Romney? I expect to hear the media tearing into him any time now ...

What? They won't? Then let's get it all out there, day in, day out. Let's expose the Leftists for what they are; opportunistic scum who, if not for Double Standards, would have none at all.

You were expecting Saavik in a bathrobe? That was Star Trek II:TWOK which now has never happened because of JJ Abrams.

Oh, lord. Vic yesterday was talking about the boner Ann-Margret gave him during Viva Las Vegas. I got one watching Kirstie Alley in that Starfleet uniform. Hoo boy. Hawt. Which of course, reminds me of ST6, when Kim Cattrall posed on the Enterprise bridge for some nude shots - in full Vulcan makeup - but the director had all the negatives destroyed before they could go public.

219 Just for the sake of keeping the blog accurate on the important points, "Double dumb ass on you" was Kirk's line. You did say it reminded you of Spock but some libidiots, A's is there wont, may have added 2 + 2 and come up with 7. Followed up with accusing you of spreading misinformation. Personally, anything that reminds me of that movie, for some reason, reminds me of Catherine Hicks I believe her name is. I wonder why that is.

Posted by: teej at January 09, 2013 07:52 AM (5gfow)

220 When Nero came back he created a new time line that branched off. So in that universe the events we all know never happened. Well that is how JJ Abrams and his writers tap-dance. I just think of it as a coward's move to try and keep fans happy 'oh gosh they got the Nimoy Spock in this.'

Kinley Ardal. Kirk saw the Prime Directive more as a suggestion. ISS Kirk, would phaser anyone for even thinking of inventing the concept.

I could be wrong, Anna, but I think it was because Valeris was supposed to be half Vulcan - half Romulan.

I always liked McCoy's comeback as Christopher Plummer was chanting, "I am constant as the Northern Star. . ."

"I'd pay good money if he'd just shut up!"

236 Saavik was half-Romulan. And in VI Spock speaks of Valeris to Kirk as the first Vulcan to graduate Starfleet Academy.

Plummer loved the role of Change and ate the scenery as well as Shatner. And McCoy and Spock invented the heat seeking photon torpedo.

247 It was discussed here last night, http://minx.cc/?post=336404. On the site, right next to the article is another article talking about how they were threatened and how they assume it was because of the gun list. I'm not a gun owner but they seemed to be happy to list hannity among the owners. On and off I've listened to the guy over the years. He's never hidden the fact that he has a gun and he's never encouraged anyone else to go out and buy one. I've listened to the way he phrases things. He tells people to go try one out and that you need oodles of training to have a firearm. He seems to take it very seriously, very seriously. Anyway, the point I'm getting to is that the handful of gun owners I've know personally were/are hunters or law enforcement. They too take/took gun possession very seriously, very seriously. They all weren't the type of people to walk around saying "hey look at my gun, it's out on the coffee table". For the most part it was in a locked box of some kind, inside another locked box, inside a safe that was locked, behind a closet door, that you guessed it, was locked and in the basement. What is more concerning is the threats they received. Journalists, even internet tabloid ones, should be able to publish whatever they want, freely, without being threatened. If you don't like what they published our remedy for that is our court system, not a threat. This is not the first time I've read about someone being threatened. To me it is very concerning.
