Succinct, obtuse, self-pitying and dissembling. Probably a Gawker writer. If one goes around committing tortious invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress, one will get sued for it eventually, and possibly lose in court. Yes, even if you call yourself a "journalist" while doing so. Yes, even if your targets for abuse are icky-poo wrongthinkers like Thiel and Bollea, who shouldn't have access to legal remedies because darn it, they have declasse opinions contra to the "speak truth to power" crowd. Getting sued is getting off easy, and deep down Denton & co. knew that losing in court was the worst thing that could happen to them-it wasn't like they embarrassed John Gotti or Chapo Guzman, or someone else whose retaliation would involve semtex and garrottes.
