I am the last one on line to defend Owen, but to call him fat is just plain wrong. This video actually pissed me off all weekend. As you know, I am actually fat and he isn’t, not even sure if he is overweight, and of course if you are fat, pig follows thereafter.
While I know you don’t care, I have decided to remove my feed subscription to your site.
I am sorry to hear that Allen. But I’m not sorry for calling Owen Thomas a fat pig. Because he is. Fat pigness is a state of mind, and if I worried about individual readers insecurities I’d be out of business quick.

I often wonder that if everyone who complained about Valleywag, stopped reading Valleywag, would it shrivel up like die?
I un-subscribed Valleywag’s feed well over a year ago now and have been happier for it.

I’ll bet Owen Thomas would make some GOOD barbecue.

Man, it must be awesome to be fat, retarded, disgusting, AND get paid minimum wage by Nick Denton!
By Nick on Aug 25, 2007
Minimum wage? Not that hard to earn minimum wage if your boss also earns not more than some bucks I guess.
Otherwise, I’d steal the domain and exchange all ads with Google Adsense. At least, this would make a couple of hundred bucks per month…

You’re right Loren, you aren’t worried, we already know that. I wonder if you will have any visitors/readers once you are done.

I have a feeling I’ll be fine Allen.

Looks fat to me…

OMG I am totally unsubscribing once I figure out how to subscribe.
And what do you have against fat pigs? Some of my best customers are fat pigs. Don’t quote me on that though.

Love how you have not lost your spanky edge of zinging barbed witticisms and anti-punditry.
I guess I need to ramp up the hate for what’s wrong, and get more 1938 in my media diet.
Let’s keep clobbering the asshats, because soon the blogosphere will be shut down and we’ll have to go back to smoke signals and semaphores.
Isn’t ValleyWag just a PayPerPuke and troll haven?

OH boy tough guy Allen Stern gonna “remove his fucking feed subscription” to this blog.

Please, I beg you, Allen Stern, don’t be so stern, and for heaven’s sake, re-boot your precious feed.
