Agree 100% with this post.
Gawker's response to this controversy demonstrates that they are amoral. Yes, they fucked up by posting it in the first place, but the response--removing the post and having the CEO issue this mealy-mouthed non-apology reflects an unscrupulous mentality. A) you can't take something back on the Internet, you can only discuss and move on from it, and B) Denton isn't sorry for posting, and his tone amounts to "I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids."
Ever since Gizmodo got kicked out of CES for drunken stupidity I have not respected Gawker. Every time they sink to a new low, they embrace it with enthusiasm and pride. This latest example really shows their true colors though. Gawker has no moral compass. Anyone who advertises on any of their properties should be ashamed.
Someone should dox all their executives and see how they like that. Bonus points for taking it down the next day and saying "sorry, not sorry."
