    While we're (vaguely) on the subject, how's AJ? Is he alive? Some of us worry.

    We're all very proud of you, Gawker! Keep up the good work. (Mumbling to myself: "This is why I read less and less as days go by. That and the fact that HamNo is the only writer who consistently writes about important issues, but doesn't seem to get much real estate these days.)

      Wow, John. Do you really think you are in the right about this situation? Please tell me you are not that horrible.

    This feels like when the ACLU defends the Klan's right to assemble. I mean, I know that protecting even icky speech is important, but...ick.

      "You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it." ~Thomas Paine

    The ghost of John Peter Zenger is smiling on you, Gawker. I applaud your decision to stand up against this lawsuit. This is an issue of Fair Use, free speech, journalistic freedom. Carry on. I'm telling all my friends to turn off their adblockers when they visit you.

      I'm frankly surprised that they didn't find the But Gawker Hates Guns argument compelling. That is what Hogan's team went with, right?

        They might note like guns but they really enjoy a good sexual assault

        Somewhere in Texas there's a very upset and confused gun owner.

          Gawker shouldn't have published that story, not because of free speech issues, but because it damages their reputation. Clearly that's never been their concern, but it should be.

            Who is going to quit reading Gawker because of the Hulk posts?

            What do you think their reputation might be?

          Say what you will, but there is something about debating the constitutionality of a Hulk Hogan sex tape that I find terribly depressing.

            Gawker media should finally stop with this bullshit. As a longtime reader, and a fan of this site, I cannot understand the pigheaded stance you have taken against hulk hogan. yea, the guy is obviously an asshole, but it is completely inappropriate to keep putting him down for having consensual sex with someone. oh, and the part you keep fighting for is that he was illegally recorded without his knowledge. He is a victim in this situation and you guys have been pretending to be some kind of crusaders for free speech. I am sure you are more intelligent than this. You know this is wrong. Knock it off, assholes.
