Charlie Jane, I just read the most recent post you did on The Vampire Diaries, and that reminded me that I owe you a big 'Thank You'. I'd seen the ads for the first season of the show, but had by reflex written it off as a Twilight imitation/knock-off (and therefore having a profoundly massive level of suck). As a hardcore Buffy fan, it isn't easy for vampires, and human/vampire romance stories to impress me, and this just didn't look like it was worth my time. It was your post explaining all the reasons why we should be watching it that made me (reluctantly) give it a try. And now it's my favorite currently-airing show... basically for all the reasons you gave. So anyway, just wanted to let you know, and to thank you for your well-argued posts on TVD's behalf. Later!

So I just read that you're in a relationship with the author of the Sucker Punch review. That to me, raises some red flags for being extremely, extremely biased and emotionally affected by any negative comments made in the comment section, even though the FAQ of the website clearly says negative comments are allowed, and that "we can dish it out, and take it too".

I can take this claim higher up if you really want. I think I have a pretty good argument on my side.

This user seems to be pretty trigger happy on the ban hammer. I left a comment asking who threw a bag of sand in your vagina after reading the insanely overly negative review on Sucker Punch, and apparently that's ban worthy with no prior account suspensions or warnings, ever.

In case they delete that last comment, I just thought I'd repeat myself here. Apparently, a certain moderator takes criticism of i09's journalistic integrity very seriously. Apparently, funny or intelligent comments don't matter here if they criticize the baldly obvious business strategy. I thought that comparison to Fox News was hilarious, mostly because I assumed the management here had the sense of humor and intelligence to laugh at themselves. But now, it's becoming more accurate.

Hi Charlie, in case you missed it Matt Smith was the guest on the nerdist podcast last week. I just noticed it myself.

I'd post the link but I'm on smartphone only at the moment for reasons too comical / annoying to go into and it came directly into my reader.

Thanks,

This is my last ditched effort to redeem my chances of being unbanned from io9. Since you apparently deleted my comment, which I think was just saying I didn't think Amanda Seyfried looked very good in the new Niccol movie.

What I find strange is that you approved me as a commenter on io9, then banned me 1 minute later. Which, I do not understand, the comment wasn't inappropriate, demeaning, attacking, though perhaps boring, I don't see any reason for the ban.

I'm hoping that perhaps you made mistake and clicked the wrong button, or perhaps you just hate people who need help, I don't know.

I just know I would like to be reinstated or at least allowed to try and re earn my commenting ability back.

Thank you,

Evan

ah, Charlie, the Capricious One! Take my star, eh? How have I failed thee?

For the love of all that is io9, please don't let Jesus Diaz write any more articles for the site - or if he must, please revoke commenting privileges. The man has all the social skills of a wolverine with hemorrhoids, and is one of the prime reasons I will not go to the Gizmodo site again. Cursing at commenters may be acceptable there, but thankfully, I don't see that here, and I would be saddened to see this place slip into the same dismal place Giz is.

Thanks for the star, Charlie Jane. It brightened an otherwise kinda icky day.

Avatar for cyber★

Thank you for the star, Charlie! I've never thanked a writer for a star before (I have one at Gawker), but Io9 is my favourite Gawker Media site so it means much more to me. <3
