    A lot of really great people whose work I admire worked at or wrote for Gawker at times over the past 14 years. I'll miss the site.

        To me from Ohio at the time, Gawker et al. somewhat represented "cool success" on the internet at the time I started blogging in June 2003.

        One of my proudest days back then was the day I got to be Wonkette for a day in January 2006, in between @anamariecox & @DavidLat's tenures.

        I was a first-year lawyer law blogger in Columbus, Ohio, but Ana and David knew me and liked me, so I got asked to do it. A ridiculous day.

        A decade on, the ridiculous feeling of that day still comes back to me. Here was my opening: http://wonkette.com/150791/another-day-of-the-patriarchy … (FORESHADOWING, MUCH??)

        Anyway, eventually Wonkette became a separate entity, and I've become IRL friends with both Ana and David, and the internet is amazing ...

        ... and Gawker and @nicknotned and @Lock were big parts of creating that spirit—the spirit that this all could become SOMETHING and MATTER.

        Over time, I've had lots of issues with the way Gawker handled lots of things. So it goes; I didn't work there, and I didn't run it.

        At times, moreover, many very big, very important publications have arguably fallen much farther off the track than I think Gawker ever did.

        So, while I didn't read all Gawker published these days, and while the publication often took swipes at my publication, I will miss them.
