Your description for no. 3 is really fucking stupid. What are you, 12? You think it was some kind of conspiracy? M. Mapes has been a freakish hippy for forever AND a day...and she's supposed to be a member of some "right-wing conspiracy to change the subject"? Are yall really moronic enough to believe that?

On #29, if you're actually horrified by someone exercising her reproductive rights without cloaking the experience in guilt, then you're really not as pro-choice as you think you are. The more people speak up about their abortion experiences, maybe the less judgmental you'll become. I'm disappointed in nerve.

Wow. I'm really surprised by #29. These are very un-Nerve-like comments. I'm disappointed in you guys. WTF?

What is horrifying about a woman sharing how she feels in advance of exercising a right she's never exercised before? Are stories of first-time voting horrifying? It is shallow and judgmental to render a funny, witty, open blog about a deeply personal experience "horrifying," just because there are those who would be offended by the subject matter. Misinformation is rampant. There are precious few voices that speak honestly about the abortion process, and the myriad small choices women face in exercising their right to choose an abortion. Please don't silence or minimize this voice with your judgment.

One of the things I love the most about Nerve is the way you usually show things in a fairly tolerant, non-judgemental tone, especially when it has to do with women's rights. What happened to that? I'm another reader who sent this blogger encouraging words (and candy!), because her position is one that any of us could find ourselves in (even with judicious use of contraception). That's the thing about being pro-choice. You shut the hell up and let people make the decision that's best for them.

Way to overreact to, and oversimplify, anonymous blogger's "What to Expect When You're Aborting" blog. In calling it "horrifying," you are bolstering her entire point for starting the blog: nowhere are there reassuring resources for women who exercise their right to an abortion and DON'T beat themselves up for it endlessly later. You also missed the deadpan sarcastic humor that makes this woman's reading entertaining, choosing instead to interpret her humor as literal "glee." I have no difficulty at all believing that she has received a large number of supportive emails in response to her situation -- one of them was from me -- and say to you in response: this was one blog post you should have considered with more care.

Regarding #16 on this list: There is absolutely no evidence that the Agency Spy blog posts were in fact the reason for Paul Tilley's suicide. To publish as much makes you just as pathetic as Agency Spy. To assume that a man would take his own life because of that snarky blog is ridiculous. I knew him. He didn't make decisions based on rumors. Especially the rumors spread by ignorant DDB employees who betray the agency (and violate agreements signed upon hiring) to send internal communications to outside parties.
I hope you've enjoyed all the page views you've gotten for the misinformation you posted, Nerve. You ask your contributors to interact respectively, but you don't do as much in your own content. Yeah, you are about as pathetic as Agency Spy. If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything.

Hi! For me, one of the best blogs of all time is Belle de Jour's discussion of all things sex. The UK blog led to two books and the HBO series, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl." It has won a ton of awards, including the UK's best written blog. The author, who has remained anonymous, nonetheless writes with truth, wit, humor and pathos about her life in the sex biz. But more than that, it is a cautionary tale about life and relationships that we can all relate to. I never miss a post and I'm a modest 52-year-old woman!

I still can't believe that McCain's participation at the Sturgis, SD motorcycle-and-sex extravaganza didn't get more notice in either the mainstream media or the blogosphere. Nobody took a look at what really happens at that event. Check out the enclosed video links and imagine the firestorm if Obama and his wife had been in attendance at such an orgy-- his campaign would be toast already. As you'll see, this stuff could sink the McCain / Palin candidacy. I think this is a huge story. Warning-- some lewd and spicy imagery within.....
